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

- 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.
