If you’re looking to highlight multiple products, services, or features in a single post, carousel posts are your best friend. BotSailor makes it simple to create carousel (slider) or video slideshow posts for your Facebook page—with custom titles, descriptions, action links, and scheduling features.
This guide walks you through how to set up a Facebook Carousel or Video Post using BotSailor's intuitive interface.
Go to Social Posting → Facebook & Instagram Poster, and click on the Carousel/Video Post option.
From the Video/Carousel Poster screen, click the Create New Post button.
Choose between Carousel or Video Slide Show. In this example, we proceed with Carousel.
Give your post a descriptive and recognizable campaign name.
Pick the Facebook page where the post will be published.
Enter a Slider Link—this is a general link (e.g., homepage, landing page, business page) that will be attached to the whole carousel.
Add a message that will be shown above the carousel on Facebook.
Each carousel post consists of individual slider items, and here’s how to configure each:
Provide a title and description for each product or slide.
This is the URL users will go to when they click on the specific slide.
Either upload an image or paste a direct image URL. This will appear as the visual of the slide.
Click on "Add More Content" to add multiple slider items.
Toggle Post Now to immediately publish, or leave it off to set a schedule.
Choose the date and time for your post to go live.
Pick the appropriate time zone for your target audience.
You can repeat the post multiple times by specifying the number of reposts and interval between each one.
Finally, hit Submit to save and activate your carousel post.
With BotSailor’s Carousel/Video Post feature, you can visually promote multiple items or key messages in a single, swipeable Facebook post. Whether it's a product launch, service list, or portfolio display, this tool lets you engage your audience more effectively.
What is a slider link in a carousel post?
A slider link is a general URL applied to the whole carousel. It is not the same as the individual action links for each slide.
Can I use different links for each slide?
Yes! Each slider (carousel item) can have a unique action link.
How many slider items can I add?
You can add multiple items by clicking Add More Content—Facebook supports up to 10 slides per carousel.
Can I schedule carousel posts in advance?
Absolutely. You can schedule the post by setting date, time, and timezone.
Will this post show up on Instagram?
No. Carousel posting via BotSailor is currently supported only on Facebook.
