How to Create Multiple Posts at Once

With the Bulk Post Creator, toolkit builders can create multiple posts at the same time in two ways: uploading a post template or a spreadsheet.

This tool can be used to build multiple posts for different audience types—such as sponsors, speakers, and partners. Before you begin, prepare a spreadsheet with the information that will populate the posts.

Potential columns for your spreadsheet may include: 

• A column with image links. Note that the images must be hosted online to apply the link. 
• A column with attendees’/speakers’/etc’s names
• A column with different links 

How to Create Bulk Posts:

You can create multiple posts at once by uploading a spreadsheet with your post copy, images, and/or links. Here’s how:

• Click the arrow next to "Create a New Post" and select Bulk Post Editor. A new window will open.
• Select "Continue without templates" on the bottom right corner.
• Paste the content of the CSV file into the text field. For every row in the file, a separate post or post variation will be created. The file should have a header row and columns must be separated by either commas, semicolons or tabs. You can create up to 300 posts or post variations.
• Hit "Next" to see a preview of all the posts created. Either press save or go back to edit the importated data.
• Once saved, the posts will be saved as drafts on the toolkit and you can edit them as you prefer.

How to Create a Template:

When you create a template, you create one standardized post and leave blanks. The spreadsheet you upload must have columns to match that so that our system will match the blanks with your spreadsheet information.

• Click the arrow next to "Create a New Post" and select Bulk Post Editor. A new window will open.
• Select Your Social Media Networks.
• Enter Your Text. Use placeholders in double brackets [[TEXT]] to indicate where spreadsheet data should be inserted (e.g., [[PARTNER_NAME]]).
• Upload a Template Image. Use an image with a blank space where a variable (e.g., a logo) will be placed for each post.
• Add Links and Captions. Like the text, these can also use bracketed placeholders (e.g., [[LINK]]).
• Click Next and select the box where images (e.g., logos) will be composited onto your template to set up the image placement.
• Paste Your Spreadsheet Data by copying and pasting the CSV text from your spreadsheet. Click Next to generate your posts. Note that the platform has a 300-post limit per bulk upload. 
• Rearrange image order and adjust object fit as needed. Save your changes.
