Bulk uploading

Updated

What is it?

Bulk Uploading allows you to create and schedule multiple posts at once by uploading a single CSV file. This is ideal for users managing a high volume of content and looking to save time by planning posts in advance.

 

How does it work?

You can access Bulk Uploading by clicking the New Post button in:

  • The Dashboard

  • The Calendar View

  • The List View

Once selected, you’ll upload a CSV file that matches the required format. The system will validate your file and:

  • Accept valid posts

  • Flag incompatible rows as drafts

  • Reject the upload entirely if critical errors are found

 

The process consists in three steps: upload the CSV file, convert the CSV file into posts, review your created posts.

 


Requirements:

  • You must have fewer than 250 scheduled posts in the calendar

  • CSV must be ≤ 60 rows

  • File size must be ≤ 200 KB

  • Posts must be scheduled at least 30 minutes after upload time

  • 30-minute intervals between each scheduled post

  • The time zone used is based on the calendar settings

  • Media URLs must come from your Loomly Media Library
     

File Format Notes:

  • File must be in CSV format

  • Column headers must match the official Loomly Bulk Upload template. You will be able to download the CSV file by following the instruction on screen


 

Upload may be rejected if:

  • Date is missing, invalid, in the past, or within 30 minutes of upload

  • Headers don’t match the template

  • File exceeds 60 rows or 200 KB

  • Labels entered don’t exist

  • More than 10 media files are added

  • Media URL doesn’t point to an item in the Loomly Media Library

  • You’ve hit your post, row, or file size limits
     

Rows may be saved as drafts (instead of scheduled) if:

  • Platform-specific issues occur (e.g., incompatible media for the selected platform)

  • Pinterest, YouTube, or Google My Business are selected, but user doesn’t have permission

  • You’re using a Contributor role without scheduling permissions

  • No connected social media accounts are present for the selected platforms

  • Publishing time is less than 30 minutes after upload
