Updated June 11, 2026

Create a carousel post

Product media placeholder

Replace this area with a screenshot or short walkthrough video during the media sweep.

Turn an idea, offer, checklist, or lesson into a multi-slide social post with reviewable copy and visuals.

What this feature is for

  • Carousel posts help explain a process, checklist, story, or offer across several focused slides.
  • Use them when one static image or caption would be too dense.

When to use it

  • You want to teach a quick process or framework.
  • A launch needs several proof points or steps.
  • You need a reusable social asset for LinkedIn, Instagram, or another channel.

Do it manually

  1. Open Posts and choose the carousel workflow.
  2. Enter the topic, audience, and goal for the carousel.
  3. Draft slide titles and short slide copy.
  4. Add placeholder visuals or media library assets.
  5. Preview the slides and schedule or save the post for review.

Ask Faster AI

Create a 6-slide carousel that explains how a service business can follow up with new leads. Keep copy short and use placeholder visuals.

Review before saving or publishing

  • Check that each slide has one clear idea.
  • Confirm the first slide gives people a reason to keep reading.
  • Preview text size and image crops on mobile.

Common mistakes and fixes

  • If slides feel crowded, split one idea into two slides.
  • If the carousel lacks a next step, add a final slide with a clear action.
  • If media looks inconsistent, use one visual style across the carousel.

Use it in daily operations

  • Before scheduling or publishing, preview the post in each channel, check media crop, links, approval status, campaign context, and timezone.
  • If Faster AI drafts copy or creative direction, keep the result as a draft until the responsible teammate reviews brand, claims, dates, and calls to action.
  • After the post is live, review delivery or engagement signals and decide whether the campaign needs a follow-up post, Audience, or customer task.

Team handoff

  • Include the exact record, page, campaign, or setting name in the handoff so the next teammate can find the same workspace context quickly.
  • Call out anything still unresolved, such as placeholder media, missing customer data, pending approval, or a follow-up task that needs an owner.
  • If AI prepared the draft or checklist, ask it for a short summary of what changed and what still needs human review before the work is considered complete.
