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 anti-ban pacing space posts at a safe cadence.
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.
