What CSV template should I use?
To ensure your bulk scheduling works smoothly, your CSV file must follow a specific format and include all the necessary columns. Each row in the file represents a post, and each column defines a piece of content or instruction related to that post, like the caption, media link, scheduling time, or platform type.
Ensure your file is completed correctly to avoid upload errors. Below is a breakdown of each required column and how to use it:
Post date and time
In this column, you must enter the date and time (in the format dd/mm/yyyy hh: mm or mm/dd/yyyy hh: mm) for the posts you want to schedule. You must strictly follow the date and time format for it to be executed successfully.
Post caption
This column lets you add captions to your posts (better known as captions for images or link posts). You can customize messages for four different kinds of posts.
Note: You can schedule up to 500 posts for your social channels via the bulk upload recipe.
| Text only post | If you want to create a post in which you just want to add some text, you can do that by adding that text in this column. |
| Text with image post | If you want to create a post in which you want to add an image and some text along with it. You can do that by adding your custom text in this column and then the image URL in the next column. |
| Text with link preview | If your post has a link and you want to add some message with it, enter your message here and the link in the fourth column. |
| Text with Custom Image on Link preview | If you want to create a post in which you want to add a link, a custom image, and a message, enter your message/ caption in this post and image URL and link in the next two fields, respectively. |
Image URL
You can add images to your posts by adding the image URLs in this field. Use the URLs of any public image.
Link
Add links to your posts for articles, blogs, or any public content by entering the link URL in this column.
First Comment
This column lets you add the first comments to your posts
Link in caption
This column controls whether a link should be included with the caption. The default value is "Yes"; change it to "No" to exclude the link for a specific post.
Important ✍️
- Users with older CSV templates (without the new columns) can still upload posts, but:
- The system will assume "Yes" for the Link in caption field.
- Only images will be processed if no Video URL column exists.
- If both image and video URLs are added then the video URL will be prioritized.
- The Include Link column will default be treated as "Yes".
Video URL
Add a video URL in the Video URL column to upload a single video. The video will be prioritized if both video and image URLs are provided.
Post Type
Add the post type from the following:
- Facebook (Feed, Reel, Story, Feed+Reel, Feed+Story, Reel+Story, Feed+Reel+Story)
- Instagram (Feed, Reel, Story, Carousel, Feed+Reel, Feed+Story, Reel+Story, Feed+Reel+Story, Carousel+Story)
- YouTube (Video, Shorts)
- TikTok (Video, Carousel)
- LinkedIn (Feed, Carousel)
- X (Twitter), Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Tumblr, GMB, LinkedIn: no specific type required
If no post type is provided or an error is encountered, the post will default to the platform's standard post type."
Post Title
- Add the post title (YouTube, LinkedIn)
- If no title is provided, 'Untitled' will be used as the default title for the post."
Ultimately, your CSV file should resemble the one shown below.
Note: The first section is strictly for Post date and time. Please follow the pattern exactly, otherwise the Bulk Uploader may not go through.
