After connecting your Instagram account to HubSpot, you can use HubSpot's social tool to create an Instagram carousel and publish multiple images to a single post.
When creating an Instagram carousel post, you can add up to 10 images in png, jpg, and jpeg formats. However, you cannot add alt text to the images.
Please note: to create an Instagram carousel post, you must opt into the full-screen social composer beta.
