Frequently Asked Questions
How many posts can I upload at once?
There's no hard limit, but we recommend batches of 500 posts or fewer for optimal processing speed. For larger uploads, split into multiple CSV files.
Where can I get the CSV template?
Download the template from the Bulk Upload page in your dashboard, or view the format in our documentation. The template includes all possible columns.
What happens if there are errors in my CSV?
You'll get a detailed validation report showing exactly which rows have issues and why. Fix the errors and re-upload. No posts are scheduled until validation passes.
Where should I host media files?
Any publicly accessible URL works. Common options: Dropbox, Google Drive (with public links), AWS S3, or any CDN. We download and re-upload to our servers.
Can I edit posts after bulk upload?
Yes! After bulk upload, posts appear in your Posts tab. You can edit or delete them individually just like manually created posts.
