Tips
Media URLs must be public.
Use exact platform names (not case-sensitive).
Date format: MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm or AUTO.
Stay within limits (≤ 500 rows).
Troubleshooting
Validation errors highlight the exact row/column — fix and re-upload or re-sync.
For Sheets, ensure OAuth access remains active.
Prefer AUTO with recurrence to avoid collisions.
