Grok + Wahlu

Post to Instagram from Grok with Wahlu

Connect Grok to Wahlu once, then plan, draft and schedule posts for Instagram professional accounts (Business or Creator) connected to Wahlu from a conversation. Every schedule can wait for your approval.

What Grok can prepare on Instagram

  • Feed post

    One to 10 images or videos. Two or more make a carousel.

  • Reel

    One video, with a caption.

  • Story

    One image or video. Stories don't take a caption.

Ask Grok for Instagram posts

Example prompts and the steps to expect. These are illustrations, not recorded conversations.

Example prompt

“Here are four photos from Saturday's market. Make an Instagram carousel with a short caption and no more than five hashtags, and hold it for my review on Friday at 8am.”

Example prompt

“Turn this video into a Reel for Tuesday evening, add @northroasters as a collaborator and leave the schedule for me to approve.”

Example prompt

“What's on Instagram for this brand next week? Find the quiet day and draft a Story to fill it.”

What Wahlu does on Instagram

Grok works through Wahlu's tools, so it can set the Instagram options Wahlu supports.

Instagram settings on a draft

Post type
Feed post, Reel or Story.
Collaborators
Invite up to five accounts by their handle.
Trial Reel
Share a Reel with non-followers first, then share it to followers yourself or let Instagram decide based on how it performs.

Wahlu doesn't add a first comment, location or tagged people to Instagram posts.

The tool calls, in order

  1. 01

    list_targetsFinds the brand's connected Instagram account and checks it's ready.

  2. 02

    import_media_from_url, upload_media or list_mediaBrings in the image or video, or picks one from your media library.

  3. 03

    create_draftCreates the draft with its caption and instagram_settings, such as the post type.

  4. 04

    preflight_draftChecks the draft against Instagram's rules without changing it.

  5. 05

    create_schedulePuts it on the calendar at pending_review, held for your approval.

Instagram limits to know

Wahlu checks these before a post is scheduled, so the agent finds out early.

Getting images and video to Instagram

The hosted connection can't open files on your computer. Give the agent a public link to import, pick from your brand's media library, or attach an image the agent can pass on as data. For video, a public link or your media library is usually easiest.

Connect Grok to Wahlu

Set this up once and Grok can work on every network you've connected, not just Instagram.

  1. 1

    Go to grok.com/connectors.

  2. 2

    Click New Connector, then select Custom.

  3. 3

    Paste https://mcp.wahlu.com/mcp as the MCP server URL.

  4. 4

    Sign in to Wahlu when asked, then choose the workspace, brands and permissions Grok can use.

Checked against the xAI docs: Connectors on 3 November 2026. Menus can change; if a step doesn't match what you see, follow the vendor's current instructions.

xAI's documentation describes this on grok.com. On Grok Business and Enterprise plans, a team admin first adds the connector in the xAI console (console.x.ai, Grok Business → Connectors → + Add Connector → Other); members then connect it on grok.com/connectors. Grok signs in with dynamic client registration, which Wahlu accepts for Grok.

You stay in control.

Every Wahlu plan and the $1 trial include agent access, through MCP and the API. You choose the workspace, brands and permissions each connection gets, and can disconnect it at any time.

Held until you approve

Agents create schedules at pending_review unless you've told them to publish. A held schedule can't publish until you approve it in Wahlu or ask an agent with Publishing permission to approve it.

Publishing is its own permission

Publishing is separate from Manage your schedule. Leave it unticked and nothing your agent schedules can go out on its own.

Checked before it's scheduled

preflight_draft reports anything that would stop a post, such as media the network won't accept or a caption that's too long, without changing anything. Autopilot's lines to check reach your agent too, and approving past them takes an explicit acknowledgement.

Some things stay in the app

Use the app for queues, draft media and platform settings, and connecting social accounts. Agents can change the name or caption of an unused draft and approve held schedules with the right permissions.

Keep going
