Create carousels and multi-media posts

Preserve media order and validate multi-asset support across selected accounts.

Direct answer

Upload each asset, keep media_ids in the intended presentation order, and preview every selected account. Use account capabilities to determine whether the provider accepts multiple images, mixed media, carousel captions, or a different fallback format.

What this means in practice

Upload each asset, keep media_ids in the intended presentation order, and preview every selected account. Use account capabilities to determine whether the provider accepts multiple images, mixed media, carousel captions, or a different fallback format.

Use the documented brand and account boundaries consistently across the scheduler, REST API, SDK, MCP tools, SSE consumers, and webhooks. That makes the same social operation explainable to an operator and reproducible by an integration.

Implementation checklist

  1. Upload and process every asset before post creation.

  2. Keep a stable content order and accessible description for each meaningful asset in your own system.

  3. Check maximum item counts and whether mixed image/video content is allowed.

  4. Use an override or separate target group when one platform needs a different asset set.

  5. Review the resolved preview rather than a generic gallery mockup.

Operational details

Multi-media is a capability, not a universal assumption across publishing destinations.

Reordering media after approval creates a new revision that may require another review.

A provider may represent a carousel differently in feed and analytics responses.

Common mistakes to avoid

Protect intent, tenant boundaries, and provider state.
  • Do not silently drop extra assets to satisfy a provider limit.
  • Do not mix landscape and portrait media without checking the target presentation.
  • Do not interpret an unsupported carousel as permission to publish only its first asset.
