Instagram Feed Planner Templates

What is a Feed Planner Template?

An Instagram feed planner template keeps what you’ll post, when you’ll post it and the creative details in one place.

  • Notion: good for keeping ideas, docs and assets together.
  • Google Sheets: good for planning many posts at once and filtering by campaign.

How to Build Your Planner

Notion Setup

Create a Table database with these properties:

  • Title (Title)
  • Status (Select: Idea, Drafting, Posted)
  • Date (Date)
  • Post Type (Select: Reel, Carousel)
  • Asset Link (URL)

Google Sheets Setup

Set up these column headers for batch planning:

Date | Time | Pillar | Caption | Link | Status

Add Data Validation to the Status column so it only takes fixed values and filters cleanly.

Visual Grid Preview Workflow

Once you have your content planned in Notion or Sheets, use the free drag-and-drop tool to check how the grid looks:

  1. Add images: Click any empty tile, or use Add images to load several at once.
  2. Arrange the layout: Drag tiles to swap them and test patterns, such as alternating photos and quotes.
  3. Preview 3 to 12 rows: See how the profile looks further down.
  4. Update your planner: When the grid looks right, copy the final order back into Notion or Sheets.

Schedule the posts automatically

Add your planned posts to PostQuickAI and it publishes them to Instagram as Reels, carousels or feed posts.
