Bulk Post

Learn more about bulk post in our help documentation.

Bulk Post

Easily upload and schedule multiple posts at once to streamline your content workflow. Ideal for teams managing campaigns or large content calendars.

How It Works

  1. Prepare Your CSV
    Download the CSV template and fill it with your post details.

Tip: Use Postly Cloud to host your media files and get shareable URLs for your CSV.

  1. Open Bulk Post Tool
    Navigate to Posts → Bulk Post in the sidebar.

  2. Upload & Review
    Upload your CSV, check the content mapping preview, and fix any errors.

  3. Schedule & Publish
    Choose to publish immediately or schedule for later, then confirm to complete.

Detailed Bulk Posting Guide

1. Prepare Your CSV
  • Use exact column headers to avoid errors (e.g., “Due Date” not “Date”).
  • Include 4 to 500 posts per upload.
  • Separate multiple image URLs with commas; only one video URL allowed per post.
  • Avoid blank rows after specifying Due Date and Platforms.
  • Remove unused columns but don’t rename headers.
2. Host Your Media
  • Use Postly Cloud or similar services for publicly accessible media URLs.
  • URLs must link directly to media files (e.g., .jpg, .mp4).
  • Avoid YouTube URLs for Instagram videos; use direct video URLs instead.
3. Schedule & Upload
  • Posts are scheduled based on the “Due Date” field.
  • Publishing occurs automatically at the scheduled time.
4. Manage Connections
  • Connect only the social accounts and pages you want to publish to beforehand.
  • Use separate Workspaces for different clients or business units.
  • Each Workspace should include all relevant connected profiles for that entity.
5. CSV Limitations
  • You can only specify the social platform (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) in the CSV.
  • Posts publish to all connected pages, groups, or channels for that platform in the Workspace.
  • Example: If two Twitter accounts are connected, the post goes to both.
6. Format Your Posts
  • Insert line breaks in the message by pressing Alt + Enter (Windows) or Command + Return (Mac).
  • Including URLs in the Message field auto-generates a preview image, so you may skip the Image URL column.
7. Platform-Specific Options
  • Instagram: Customize Reels, Stories, cover thumbnail offset, and first comment.
  • Google My Business: Choose Post Type and add Event or Offer details.
  • YouTube: Set video title, privacy, subscriber notification, and comments.

Exceptional Customer Service and Lightning-Fast Problem Resolution

We initially contacted Postly because we have two Google Business Profile accounts with identical business names in different cities—a common scenario for multi-location businesses. Postly couldn't distinguish between them, risking the wrong posts going live. Their support team responded quickly and professionally, escalating the issue when the initial workaround didn’t suit our needs. We received a personal response from leadership, who immediately involved engineering and delivered a fix within 24 hours. This kind of speed and ownership is rare. Postly offers excellent pricing, fast and committed support, and leadership that delivers on promises. They turned a critical limitation into a showcase of how software companies *should* respond to feedback.

Excellent social media management solution

Postly.ai has been an excellent tool for managing our social media. The platform makes it easy to schedule across multiple networks and has a clean, user-friendly interface. Their customer support is helpful and usually replies within a week to resolve any concerns. It’s been a smooth experience overall, and we’re happy with the results.

I can easily schedule posts on all channels

Postly is the best social media managing software. I have tried a few other social media scheduling apps, but this one is by far the easiest to use. I was able to schedule all my posts in less than an hour, and it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to do that.

I own a marketing agency and getting post approval to a good spot without having to pay all kinds of extra fees has been the biggest pain for us. After talking through our needs with my team, I went searching and tried dozens of tools that just didn't do what we needed or were so pricey that it stole all our profits. Postly's double approval makes it easy for my team to send over content and for another team member to approve before the customer ever sees it. It makes my job much easier and it gives us all piece of mind that branding and messaging will always be top notch with this tool. Thank you Postly!

I absolutely love Postly

I absolutely love postly. It is the only social media scheduling website that I use and it's the best one out there. There are so many features that make my job so much easier, it makes my social media posts perfect every time. The fact that this site has a free plan too , gives me enough time to test everything for myself and see if I like the program or not before committing to buying a subscription which is very reasonable in price too!

Postly is a Time Saver

I am extremely pleased with this software. This is a social media marketing tool that helps you track all your social media in one place. You can easily post updates across multiple social media accounts, which really saves a lot of time updating blog posts for each platform individually. I really like the simplicity of the configuration and the ease of use of the software. No more accessing multiple pages. Easy access from one Dashboard. If you're looking for an easy and affordable way to manage your social media accounts, then do yourself a favour and don’t look further.

I have been using Postly for around 2…

I have been using Postly for around 2 weeks now, the platform is really easy to navigate and use, the AI writer feature makes life so much easier especially when having to write alot of captions for different clients, it generates copy that is actually usable, and if the content isn't 100%, you will definitely be able to bounce off it with ideas to write your own. Highly recommend for social media marketers looking for a reliable and easy software to use.

Postly is Awesome! Highly Recommend!

Postly has made managing not only our own social media accounts, but also our client accounts so much easier. Linking accounts took seconds. Creating a post with their AI copy writer is a snap. I gave it 1 line of text and it generated three professional paragraphs that perfectly matched the tone we were looking for. Instagram has always been a difficult platform for many tools like postly to post to. Postly however is awesome! No issues, no extra steps, simply upload and post. I highly recommend this product!

Clean Simple Social Media Posting

Postly has a great interface that makes social media management simple and clean. It's easy to use, works great, and has all of the popular platforms.

Josiah

Best Performer for the cost

Firstly, the pricing vs what you get is unbeatable in my opinion. It is quite easy to understand the interface and it has a very small learning curve. The unlimited team member feature helped us migrate all our Social media planning, scheduling and posting efforts to Postly, while saving hundreds of hours per year. Posting to multiple social media accounts might not be a big deal when you are sole manager and have a low post frequency. However, the chaos starts when you distribute this posting task to other employees. Even tracking who has social media posting access to which platform was a big issue even in our team of 4 people. It is saving us a lot of time and headaches. We have tried many tools for the job. Postly has the best price for the features you get.

Best App For Social Media Management

I was using a social media management app which had very restrictions. like cant post videos, cant reschedule posts etc. Then in a facebook group someone suggested me to try postly! i first sign up as a free account to try the app. To my delight the user interface is so far the best i have seen! very easy to use even if you are a first time user you can directly start within 5 minutes! no steep learning curve. If you are looking for an app to manage multiple social media accounts then just go for postly! this probably the best app as of now!

I have been looking for a social media automation tool for a long time, and finally, I think Postly is the one. At this price point, maintaining all my social media platforms should be hassle-free. Almost all the major social media platforms are included, 9 to be exact, and hopefully, more are on the way. Lastly, I was not looking for an AI writer but including that made it more lucrative. Hopefully, I will enjoy working with it, and Postly will continue to improve its service.
