Post Planner lets you create and schedule posts in bulk using 5 different methods:

Before creating posts in bulk, make sure your Buckets and Posting Plans are set up first. Most bulk posting methods need to be added to your Buckets and queue slots to publish automatically (with the exception of the spreadsheet method).

In this article, you'll learn:

Click "Create Post" in the top-left corner (or go straight to the multi-post Composer). Then click the dropdown next to "Create" and switch from "single post" to "multiple posts".

For Step 1: "Choose post destination," every post you upload goes to the Bucket or the profiles you select, so decide the destination before you add any content.

Choose a Bucket that's assigned to the Posting Plan you want to publish from.

Or choose "None" to send the posts to the queue slots of your profiles' Posting Plan.

If you chose "None", open the profiles dropdown and select the profiles you want to publish to.

If you chose a Bucket, your profiles are pre-selected from that Bucket's settings. You can deselect profiles you don't want, but you can't add a profile that isn't in the Bucket (adding one flips the destination back to "None").

For Step 2: "Add post content," there are 5 ways to add posts in bulk:

Got a folder full of images? Drop the files onto the upload box or click "Upload images" to choose images from your device.

Each image becomes its own post.

TIP: Put every image you want to post in 1 folder on your desktop first, so you can select them all at once.

For videos, click "Or upload videos from Library". Open the Library folder that holds your videos, tick the ones you want, and click "Create posts":

TIP: Upload your video files to a Library folder ahead of time, then pull them in from there.

Paste the feed URL into "Enter RSS feed URL here" and click "Upload articles from feed".

Wait for the articles to load. Each one becomes a link post.

When the articles load, you can automatically add each article's title, description, URL, original caption, and credit text to its post.

TIP: To find a blog's RSS feed URL, search Google or ask an AI assistant to find it. This guide helps too: How to find a blog's RSS URL.

NOTE: The network has to support link posts to publish with a clickable link. On X, the link needs to be in the caption. On Instagram, article posts include the thumbnail and caption without a clickable link.

A spreadsheet is the fastest way to post in bulk.

Each row is 1 post, and each column is a detail of that post: the caption, the link, the image or video, a first comment, and, if you're not using a Bucket/queue, the exact date and time it publishes.

To start, click "Download sample sheet" under the spreadsheet box to get the template:

If you're using AI, feed the sample spreadsheet to an AI assistant to have it help you fill in your spreadsheet automatically.

Fill in 1 row per post. Here's what each column does:

IMPORTANT: Do NOT delete the instruction rows at the top of the sheet, and do NOT delete or reorder any column. If you do, the upload imports the caption and nothing else, or reports the right number of posts and then creates none. The example rows under the instructions are the only rows you should replace.

WARNING: If you want a Bucket or Queue slot to be the destination, leave the POSTING TIME column blank. If you select a Bucket and try to add rows with specific times, those posts will fail, and you'll see a "Some posts were not created" notification. You'll have to click "download failed posts" to see which rows.

When the sheet is ready, click "Upload spreadsheet" and pick your file. Your file can be in either .xlsx or .csv format. Every row turns into a post.

3 TIPS to make this powerful:

Want to share proven posts from your industry? Click "Or add content from other feeds". This takes you to the Content tab.

Open any Stream, feed, or source, and tick the checkbox on each post or piece of content you want. Then click "Create posts" to send them to your Composer.

TIP: New to Streams? See How do I create and leverage content Streams?

With the Post Planner for Social Media extension for Chrome, you can add images from the web directly to your composer.

This works on Google Images, article images, YouTube thumbnails, X images and MUCH more.

Here's how it works:

For Step 3: "Customize post by network," you can add captions, comments, adjust post settings, change the posting order, and turn on recycling for each post.

This screen looks a little different depending on which way you used to add content.

Change the order of your posts or remove any you don’t want to include:

Tick the checkbox on the posts you want to change (or select all), then click "Bulk action" and choose what to apply to every selected post:

TIP: Turn on Recycle for evergreen posts. Set it once, and each post goes back to the end of the queue after it publishes. Not sure whether to recycle or repeat? See: "Should I recycle or repeat my posts?"

This is Step 4: Create post. Choose whether the posts go to the bottom or the top of your Posting Plan's queue, then click "Add to Queue" (if you chose "None" in Step 1) or "Add to Bucket" (if you chose a Bucket):

That's it. Dozens of posts, scheduled in a few minutes. Your Posting Plan publishes them from here. To see them, open Posts > Planned (see How do I manage my planned posts?).

NOTE: Want specific posts to publish at specific times? Put the date and time in the spreadsheet's POSTING TIME column and pick profiles (not a Bucket) in Step 1. Here's more on queueing vs. scheduling.

Did your upload come through wrong, or not at all? Don't worry. Almost every bulk problem has the same handful of causes:

A few things people ask for that the spreadsheet doesn't support today:

TIP: Bulk upload works best when the rest of your setup is ready. See How do I create and schedule posts?, How do I categorize my posts? (Buckets), How do I set up my Posting Plan?, and How do I upload content to my Library?
