# `schedule_carousel_post`

_Studio_

`write`

Schedule a carousel draft from the Carousel Studio to be posted on the brand's connected Instagram account at a given time. Renders the slides exactly as the Studio exports them, queues the post (Dalea publishes it at that time) and shows the scheduled carousel to the user. Instagram only. Confirm the caption and the date/time with the user before calling; ask for their time zone if unknown. Returns the post id (use it with reschedule_carousel_post / cancel_carousel_post), its status and a url to the user's scheduled posts.
