To bulk schedule posts from Google Sheets, build a sheet with one row per post, including caption, media, accounts and time, then connect it to your scheduler. SkedCast imports the sheet directly, validates each row, and can sync it again later to add new rows.
Key takeaways
- A live Google Sheets connection skips the CSV export step entirely — the scheduler reads the sheet directly, so edits in the sheet can be re-imported without a manual re-export.
- 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.
Bulk schedule posts from Google Sheets: setting up the sheet
- One row per post — caption, media link, target accounts, publish time
- A shared sheet the scheduling tool has permission to read
- Consistent columns matching what the tool expects to map
Why Google Sheets over a plain CSV
A live Sheets connection lets a whole team edit the same content plan collaboratively, with the scheduler pulling the latest version at import time — no re-exporting a CSV every time a caption changes.

FAQ
- Can I connect Google Sheets directly to a scheduler, without exporting a CSV?
- Yes, with a tool that supports a live Sheets connection — it reads the sheet directly rather than requiring a manual CSV export.
- What should my Google Sheet include for bulk scheduling?
- One row per post: caption, media link, target accounts, and publish time, with a header row for column mapping.
- Can multiple team members edit the same content-planning sheet?
- Yes — that’s the main advantage of a live Sheets connection over a CSV: the whole team can collaborate on one sheet before it’s imported.
- How many posts can one bulk import hold?
- Up to 50 rows per upload on SkedCast Free; paid plans raise it: up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency. Every row is checked against each network’s limits before anything is scheduled.
- Can I edit a post after a bulk import?
- Yes. Every imported post becomes a normal scheduled post: open it in the calendar to change the text, media or time before it publishes.
