Yes. Put one post per row in a CSV with the caption, media link, accounts and publish time, then upload it to a bulk scheduler that validates every row against each platform's limits before committing. SkedCast's bulk import takes CSV or Google Sheets on every plan, including Free, and lets you fix flagged rows inline.
Key takeaways
- A CSV file with one row per post — caption, media reference, target accounts, and publish time — is the standard format bulk-capable schedulers expect.
- SkedCast imports up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency from CSV, Google Sheets or AI in one upload.
- Validate rows before committing, then let per-account pacing space posts out over time.
What you need to bulk upload social media posts from a CSV
- One row per post, never multiple posts combined in a single cell
- A caption column, a media column, a target-accounts column, and a publish-time column
- A consistent date/time format the importer can parse without manual correction
What happens after you upload
A good importer validates every row against each target platform’s rules — caption length, media dimensions, supported file types — before anything is scheduled, flagging problems in a live grid rather than letting a bad row fail silently on publish day.
