Why do Facebook carousel posts need a link?
Facebook only allows third-party tools to publish organic carousels when the post includes a link. Adding a link lets Vista Social publish your images as a carousel.
There are two types of carousels: organic carousels, which Vista Social publishes, and ad carousels, which Vista Social doesn't create.
