Import posts from a CSV file

Write your posts in a spreadsheet, one per row, and import them all at once. Before anything is scheduled, Robopost shows every post so you can pick the channels, tags and repeats and fix the dates.

You need: a spreadsheet app that can save a .csv file, and the Schedule Posts right on your team.

Get the template

1. In the sidebar, click Posts → New post, then Import from CSV (CSV import).
2. Click Example CSV file to download a template.

Fill in the file

Each row is one post. Robopost reads every row as a post, so don't keep a header row with column names. Use these columns, in this order:

"Our spring sale starts today!",https://example.com/sale.jpg,2026-12-01T09:00:00-05:00,https://example.com/sale,,Spring sale
"Behind the scenes",https://example.com/clip.mp4,2026-12-02T17:30:00Z,,SHORT,

Media links (column 2)

• Use direct links to the files, starting with https://. Google Drive share links work too, as long as anyone with the link can view the file.
• Robopost downloads JPEG and PNG images, one video and one GIF per row. Other image formats are skipped.
• A row with a broken or unreadable video is skipped.
• To reuse files from your media library, select them in Media and use Download as CSV to get their links.

Dates and timezones (column 3)

Write the date as ISO 8601. End it with Z for UTC, or with your offset from UTC:

A row without a date is skipped. If Robopost can't read a date, it uses the time of the import instead, so check the dates on the review screen.

Video type (column 5)

For Facebook, a Reel needs a video: rows without one become regular posts.

Titles and links (columns 4 and 6)

• Pinterest: column 6 is the Pin title. Without it, the first 100 characters of the text are used. Column 4 is the destination link.
• YouTube: column 6 is the video title. Without it, the first 100 characters of the text are used.
• TikTok: column 6 is the title of a photo post.
• Google Business Profile: posts are imported as Standard updates with a Learn more button that points to column 4.

Save the file as CSV (UTF-8 if your app asks).

Upload and review

1. On the CSV import page, click Upload CSV and pick your file (CSV only, up to 10 MB). Robopost reads the file and downloads the media. Large files with many videos take longer.
2. When it's done, each row appears as Post #1, Post #2 and so on.
3. In Select Import Destination, choose Schedule, Draft or Post Collection. For a collection, pick which one.
4. In Select Channels, pick the channels and click Set to all posts. You can also change the channels of a single post in its card.
5. Optional: in Select Tags, pick tags and click Set to all posts.
6. Optional: under Recurring options, set a repeat and click Set to all posts, or turn on Recurring Post in a single card.
7. Check each post's Schedule date, text and media.

Import the posts

Click Start Importing posts. If some posts have a problem, such as no channel selected, Robopost asks Some items contains errors. They will be removed upon import. Continue to import? Confirm to import the rest.

When you see Posts import was successful., the posts are in Scheduled posts, Draft posts or your collection, depending on the destination. Each scheduled post is created once per channel.

If the import doesn't start

The composer's network checks don't run on imported posts. If a post doesn't fit a network, for example an Instagram post without media, it fails when it publishes, and YouTube, TikTok and Pinterest posts without the media they need are dropped. See Why did my post fail?
