Bulk CSV scheduling for agencies: plan a month without copy-paste fatigue
Import dozens of posts from a spreadsheet, map brands and channels, and schedule an agency roster in one sitting — with guest approvals on Growth and Agency.
Agency strategists lose hours moving spreadsheet rows into compose screens one post at a time. Bulk CSV compose lets you plan a month in one session — then route batches through guest approvals before anything publishes.
Prepare the spreadsheet
Columns typically include brand, channel, caption, media URL or library reference, and scheduled datetime. Keep one row per network destination when captions differ — use per-network overrides instead of cramming five captions into one cell.
Import and validate
Upload the CSV in Create. TrueShare validates channel mapping and datetime formats before creating drafts. Row errors show inline so you fix the sheet instead of hunting failed posts later.
Approval before autopublish
On Growth and Agency, send guest links for the imported batch. Clients review thumbnails on their phone; nothing schedules until they approve. Free and Starter can still import — but without blocking guest review links.
Queue retries save publish day
When a token expires mid-month, failed posts stay in the publishing queue. Reconnect the channel and retry affected rows — no emergency re-import from the spreadsheet at 4:55 PM.
Pair with campaign folders
Tag imported posts to campaign folders so Publish filters show QBR-ready groupings. Export Insights CSV alongside the original sheet when clients ask what shipped vs what was planned.
FAQ
Which plans include bulk CSV compose?
Bulk CSV import is available on Starter and above within your post limits. Pair it with guest approval links on Growth and Agency when clients must sign off.
Can I map different clients in one CSV?
Yes. Include brand and channel columns so one import spreads across your agency roster instead of one client at a time.
What if some rows fail validation?
TrueShare surfaces row-level errors before scheduling. Fix captions or media references, then import the corrected rows without rebuilding the whole month.
