Snapchat Publishing | Postly Snapchat Guide

Overview

Publish and schedule Snapchat content from Postly alongside other social media platforms. Postly should support Snapchat as part of a multi-platform publishing workflow with story publishing, Spotlight video publishing, validation, scheduling, bulk import, and API support.

Why This Matters

Snapchat gives brands and creators another mobile-first channel for Stories and vertical short-form video. Adding Snapchat to Postly helps teams plan, schedule, validate, and reuse content across platforms without creating a separate publishing process.

Supported Publishing Types

Public Stories: single image stories, single video stories, sequential story uploads, captions, and optional links where supported.
Spotlight: vertical short-form MP4 videos with captions, tags, and cross-posted TikTok/Reels/Shorts style content.
Bulk + API: Snapchat fields in CSV templates, Google Sheets templates, and Postly API workflows.

Preflight Checklist

Confirm the Snapchat account or Public Profile is eligible for the selected destination.
Use JPG or PNG for images and MP4 for videos.
Validate vertical video orientation and duration for Spotlight.
Review captions, hashtags, and optional links where supported.
Confirm bulk template fields map correctly to Snapchat destinations.

Step-by-Step Playbook

Connect an eligible Snapchat account or Public Profile to Postly.
Choose Public Story or Spotlight as the Snapchat destination.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or MP4 asset and add a caption, tags, or optional link where supported.
Validate image or video format, duration, orientation, and account eligibility before scheduling.
Schedule, publish immediately, or include the Snapchat item in a bulk/API publishing workflow.
Track publishing status and surface clear errors when Snapchat account, media, or API requirements fail.

Best Practices

Use vertical MP4 videos for Spotlight publishing and validate duration before upload.
Use JPG or PNG images for story content and optimize visual safe zones for mobile viewing.
Keep captions concise and platform-native for Snapchat users.
Add Snapchat columns to CSV and Google Sheets bulk templates so teams can publish at scale.
Use clear status messages for scheduled, published, failed, and unsupported Snapchat publishing states.

Metrics to Watch

Publishing success rate: how often scheduled Snapchat posts publish successfully.
Validation failure rate: how often media or captions fail checks before publishing.
Story reach: future analytics opportunity for Public Stories.
Spotlight performance: future analytics opportunity for short-form videos.
