Overview

Scheduling hundreds of posts for multiple social media accounts at various times can be overwhelming. SocialBu simplifies this process by allowing you to add posts directly to your Queue using the Bulk Import feature. This makes managing your content calendar easier and more efficient.

How to Add Posts to a Queue via Bulk Import:

1. Prepare Your CSV File:

   Create or edit your CSV file for bulk import. Ensure it contains all necessary columns for your posts.

2. Add a Special Column:

   Add a new column with the heading “Add to Queue”.

3. Specify Queue Name:

• Under the “Add to Queue” column, write the exact name of the Queue where you want each post to be added. This directs SocialBu to place your posts in the specified Queue instead of scheduling them for a fixed time.

4. Upload Your CSV File:

• Go to the Bulk Import section under the Publish Feature in SocialBu and upload your CSV file.

5. Import Posts:

• Follow the prompt to import your posts. SocialBu will add them to the specified Queues accordingly.

Benefits:

• Easily manage large volumes of content across multiple accounts.
• Save time by automating the addition of posts to your Queue.
• Maintain consistent posting schedules without manually assigning times.

FAQs

• Can I include the “Publish At” column when adding posts to a Queue?

It is not necessary. The “Publish At” column is ignored when adding posts to Queues via bulk import. You can leave it blank or remove it.

• What happens if I don’t specify a Queue name in the “Add to Queue” column?

If the “Add to Queue” column is left empty or missing, your posts will not be added to any Queue. You must specify the exact Queue name to add posts there.

• Can I add posts to multiple Queues in one CSV file?

Yes! Simply specify different Queue names for each post in the “Add to Queue” column as needed.

• How many posts can I upload at once via bulk import?

SocialBu supports bulk importing up to 200 posts at a time.
