Stronger engagement
Swipeable frames extend dwell time and encourage exploration, helping your post earn more interactions.
Schedule Facebook Linked Carousel Posts
Facebook carousels turn a static update into a swipeable story. In one post, you can present multiple products, reveal a step-by-step sequence, or build a visual narrative that rewards curiosity. With Postly, you can add a unique link to each card, schedule or automate delivery, and refine the creative to grow engagement and conversions with every iteration.

How it works
1
Open Dashboard
Sign in to your Postly dashboard and create a new Facebook post. Select the Facebook page you manage to unlock carousel options and publishing controls.
2
Add Media
Prepare two to ten linked image cards in the separate Facebook Carousel builder. Keep a consistent visual style, align the first and last frames with your goal, and write a concise caption for context.
3
Enable Carousel
Choose “Facebook Carousel” to format your post as a swipeable card set. Each card has its own image and destination URL. This is different from a normal multi-image feed post or an Instagram Image Carousel.
4
Link Each Card
Attach a relevant URL to every image card to direct viewers to product pages, collections, or campaign landing pages. Valid formats include domain-only and full http/https links.
Examples: mysite.com, http://mysite.com, https://mysite.com
5
Publish or Schedule
Post immediately for timely announcements or schedule the carousel to match your content calendar. Use recurrence for evergreen sequences and seasonal pushes.
6
Amplify & Iterate
Monitor engagement and click-throughs, then iterate. Reorder cards, refresh creatives, and test new headlines to improve results with every campaign.
Strategy tips for better results
Start with a compelling first card: a crisp product shot, a bold benefit, or a short headline. Group related items into a single carousel so your audience immediately understands the theme. If you’re telling a story, consider a simple arc—hook, details, proof, call-to-action—and keep the copy on each card scannable.
Use unique links per card to measure interest by theme or product line. Rotate new variations regularly; swap the order of cards, refresh hero images, and A/B test short captions. When you schedule carousels, align your posting windows with your audience’s active hours to maximize initial momentum.
Frequently asked questions
How many images can I include?
Use the separate Facebook Linked Carousel builder for two to ten image cards, each with its own destination URL. This is different from a normal multi-image feed post or an Instagram Image Carousel. Facebook controls how many cards appear: its reference describes two to five cards normally, or up to ten submitted with optimization and the top five displayed. Do not assume all ten cards will be shown.
Is this the same as a normal carousel?
No. Facebook Linked Carousel has a destination URL per image card. A normal Facebook Multi-image Feed Post groups photos in the feed, and an Instagram Image Carousel is a swipeable image post without those separate card links.
Can every card have a different link?
Yes. Assign a dedicated URL per image to guide viewers to the most relevant page.
Can I automate carousels?
You can publish now, schedule, or set recurring schedules that match your calendar and campaigns.
