Upload a Bulk Scheduling File
Once your spreadsheet is ready, the upload flow validates every row and schedules the whole batch.
Before uploading
- Connect your social accounts in Settings.
- Host media in the Media Library and use those links in the file. Cloud-drive sharing links can no longer be read.
- Keep each file to 90 posts or fewer; remember that each post counts once per network.
- Use .csv or .xlsx, with the headers from the sample file.
Import steps
- Go to Marketing > Social Planner and click + New Post.
- Choose Upload from CSV.
- Select Advance Format to unlock all fields, or Basic if you only need the simple columns.
- Upload your file and click Next.
- Choose the social accounts to publish to. To require review, switch on Send for approval and pick an approver.
- Click Create.
- Read the validation results. Any errors are flagged and must be fixed before moving on. On the review screen you can also add or swap images without editing the file.
- Click Schedule, then Import to place all posts on the calendar.
Things that trip people up
- Tags and categories do not travel with content copied into a different account from a template, so recreate them.
- Pinterest boards cannot be set per row.
- Google Business Profile publishes only one image.
After import
Posts appear in the calendar and list views. Edit them individually, or use search and saved views to find a batch quickly.
Good to know: Name a category for each import so you can filter the whole batch later.
