Switch from Sprout Social to SkedCast
Sprout Social’s calendar exports as a shareable PDF, not a CSV of scheduled posts, and it does let you export your list of connected profiles. Here is exactly what Sprout Social’s own help pages say, and the honest route to move.
What Sprout Social lets you take with you
Scheduled posts
The Publishing Calendar can be downloaded or sent as a PDF via Share, or shared as a read-only link. There is no documented CSV export of scheduled posts themselves.
Disconnecting or cancelling
Remove a profile from Account and settings › Groups & Social Profiles › the profile › View Profile › disconnect, then confirm and revoke Sprout’s platform access. Connected profiles can also be exported as a CSV.
How to move from Sprout Social to SkedCast
- Export your connected profiles as CSV. From Account and settings › Groups & Social Profiles, use Export to download a CSV of your Sprout ID, profile type, name and handle for each account — useful for checking nothing is missed.
- Note your queue from the Publishing Calendar. Sprout’s calendar exports as a PDF or a read-only share link, not a CSV of posts, so list what is still queued from that PDF or from your own content calendar.
- Bulk-import the CSV into SkedCast. Upload the CSV to SkedCast’s bulk import. Every row is validated against the platform it targets, so a bad row is fixed in the import instead of failing at publish time.
- Reconnect each account. Connect each social account in SkedCast through its own official sign-in. Group accounts by client if you manage several.
- Disconnect each profile once its posts are confirmed live. From Account and settings › Groups & Social Profiles, disconnect each profile and revoke Sprout’s access after you confirm SkedCast is running.
Switching from Sprout Social: FAQ
- Can I export my scheduled posts from Sprout Social?
- Not as a CSV. The Publishing Calendar downloads or shares as a PDF, or as a read-only link, so list your remaining queue from that and bulk-import it into SkedCast as a CSV.
- Can I export my list of connected accounts from Sprout Social?
- Yes. Account and settings › Groups & Social Profiles has an Export button that downloads a CSV of your Sprout ID, profile type, name, handle and native ID for every connected account.
- Does Sprout Social say what happens to natively scheduled posts if I disconnect an account?
- No. Sprout Social states that Sprout-scheduled posts will not publish after cancellation, but says nothing about posts already scheduled natively on the platform itself. Confirm directly with the platform.
