Streamline Your Social Media Management with Robopost's New CSV Bulk Import Feature
Managing social media content can be time-consuming, but Robopost is here to make it easier. We are excited to announce the launch of our new feature: bulk importing posts using a CSV file. This powerful tool allows you to quickly and efficiently schedule multiple posts at once, saving you valuable time and effort.
How to Use the CSV Bulk Import Feature
Step 1: Prepare Your CSV File
Before you can bulk import your posts, you need to prepare a CSV file. The file should have three columns:
Column #1: Text of the post: This is the content of your social media post.
Column #2: URL of images: Include one or multiple URLs of the images you want to attach to your post. You can specify multiple images by separating them with commas. To get URL for images you can use Robopost medias service. When you upload a new media to Robopost you can get a URL for it. It's also perfectly fine to use some other cloud storage service like Google Drive or DropBox to get those URL.
Column #3: Date in ISO format: Specify the date and time when you want your post to be published. The ISO format allows you to include time zones as well. If you don't include a Timezone, the system will import dates as UTC.
- Example date without timezone (UTC): 2024-07-28T14:30:00
- Example date with timezone (Asia/Tokyo): 2024-07-28T14:30:00+09:00
Here is an example of how your CSV file should look:
