Scheduling social media posts in bulk with the help of a CSV file can be the optimal time-saving technique for scheduling the social journey in advance. CSV is a “comma-separated values” file that allows you to save your information in a structured way.  Social Planner supports both format .csv and .xlxs.

Social Planner provides two different types of CSV Upload options for bulk scheduling

1. Basic CSV - Basic CSV supports Date, Content, OG Meta URL, Image(s) Link, Video(s) Link, GIF
