About CSV/Spreadsheet Upload

PostQuickAI currently doesn't support CSV or spreadsheet import. Posts are created through the app interface. However, the tools below help you efficiently batch-create content without needing file imports.

How to Efficiently Schedule Multiple Posts

  • AI Caption Generator

    Generate 3 caption variations at once with tone and length controls. Instead of writing from scratch, start with AI-generated options and edit as needed.

  • AI Hashtag Generator

    Generate 5-50 relevant hashtags in seconds. Skip the manual hashtag research for each post.

  • Queue-Based Scheduling

    Set up time slots once, then add posts to the queue without picking individual dates. Posts auto-fill into the next available slots.

  • Calendar Planning

    See your entire week or month at a glance. Plan content strategically and fill gaps efficiently.

  • Cross-Platform Publishing

    Create once, publish to multiple platforms. Schedule to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and more in one action.

Recommended Bulk Scheduling Workflow

1

Prepare Your Content Batch

Gather your images/videos and caption ideas. If you have them in a spreadsheet, keep it open to copy-paste into PostQuickAI.

2

Set Up Queue Time Slots

Define your posting schedule (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri at 10am). This lets you add posts to a queue instead of scheduling each individually.

3

Batch-Create Posts

Create posts one after another. Upload media, paste or generate captions (AI helps speed this up), and add hashtags.

4

Add to Queue

For each post, click "Add to Queue" instead of picking a specific date. Posts fill into your defined time slots automatically.

5

Review Calendar

Check your calendar to see all queued posts. Rearrange or edit before they publish. Done!

Updated product verification (critical for compliant copy)

Instagram scheduling is supported (confirmed in code + existing pages)

  • src/app/utils/publishing.ts includes case "instagram"publishToInstagram(...) and supports:
  • Single-image feed posts (media_type: IMAGE)
  • Carousels (media_type: CAROUSEL using image_urls)
  • Video feed posts handled as VIDEO inside publishToInstagram (text/image/video pipeline)
  • src/app/utils/videoPublishing.ts includes case "instagram"publishToInstagramReel(...) (Reels publishing via a Google Cloud Function URL)

Server-side scheduled publishing is supported

  • src/app/api/cron/publish-scheduled/route.ts publishes:
  • scheduled text/image/carousel posts from generated_posts
  • scheduled videos from video_posts
  • This means “publishes even when you’re offline” is valid.

CSV upload / spreadsheet import for bulk scheduling is NOT implemented

Repo search results: - No CSV parsing libs (Papaparse / csv-parse / xlsx / SheetJS) found. - No UI strings like “CSV upload”, “Download CSV template”, “Import spreadsheet”. - “Bulk” in the app refers to bulk actions (multi-select delete/post) in DashboardClient.tsx, not bulk scheduling via CSV.

Implication: We cannot honestly publish a product landing page claiming “schedule Instagram posts in bulk via CSV upload/spreadsheet import” as a feature. If we target that keyword, the page must be positioned as an educational guide (with an alternative workflow in PostQuickAI) and must clearly state PostQuickAI does not currently offer CSV import.


SERP/competitor insights (CSV bulk scheduling intent)

What’s ranking + content depth (from competitor page analyses)

Word counts (approx): - Metricool CSV import guide: 2,273 - Publer bulk scheduling feature page: 2,628 - Publer CSV bulk scheduler blog: 2,676 (highest) - Buffer bulk upload help article: 1,550 - HubSpot bulk schedule article: 1,190 - SocialPilot bulk CSV help: 839 - SocialPilot bulk scheduling feature page: 1,215 - Hopper HQ bulk upload IG feature page: 641 - Simplified bulk scheduling help: 540 - Hootsuite help page was not fully readable by the analyzer (returned thin content)

Competitor average (excluding the unreadable Hootsuite result): ~1,395 words
Content-to-beat target (top competitor + 500): ~3,176+ words (Publer blog 2,676 + 500)

Common “must-have” expectations for this keyword

Across the SERP, users expect: - A downloadable CSV template - Clear required columns/headers (caption/text, date/time, media URL, etc.) - Rules for date/time formatting (24-hour time is common) - Requirement that media URLs be publicly accessible / direct links - Upload limits (often marketed: 100 / 300 / 350 / 500 posts per upload)

Concrete CSV column patterns surfaced in search results

  • Buffer snippet explicitly mentions required columns: Text, Image URL, Tags, Posting Time.
  • Publer snippet: CSV needs 11 columns, starting with Date, Text, Link, Media URL (and more).
  • Multiple guides mention selecting the same date/time format at import time (Metricool help snippet).

Decision point: how we should proceed for this keyword (without overclaiming)

Goal: Rank for “schedule instagram posts in bulk (csv upload or spreadsheet)” by teaching the workflow, while positioning PostQuickAI as the execution tool for scheduling (without CSV import).

Page angle: - “How to bulk schedule Instagram posts with a spreadsheet (CSV template included)” - Include: - A sample spreadsheet layout (template table in the article) - Step-by-step CSV prep guidance (date/time formats, media URL rules) - Then a section: “How to batch schedule the same plan in PostQuickAI (no CSV import)” with an honest alternative workflow: - Create posts in batches - Upload/select media per post - Set scheduled time in the calendar - Use Content Groups for multi-brand/client separation - Use AI Caption Generator / Hashtag Generator / Proofread / Tone tools to speed caption production - Use Instagram Feed Planner for grid preview (if relevant)

This satisfies search intent while staying compliant.

Option B: Pivot the landing page to a keyword we can fully satisfy

Given the constraints, the “pure landing page” we can confidently build is around: - instagram scheduler - schedule instagram posts - instagram scheduling tool …and emphasize calendar scheduling + server-side publishing + carousels + Reels + Content Groups + AI tools.


Notes to carry into writing (conversion + compliance)

  • Strong CTAs we can truthfully use: “Start 7-Day Free Trial”, “Plans start at $8/month”.
  • Avoid “free plan” language.
  • Avoid claiming: CSV upload, spreadsheet import, downloadable CSV template as a product feature.
  • We can still include a CSV template inside the article as an educational resource (that’s not the same as “our product supports CSV import”).

If you want, I can next produce: 1) a recommended outline for the educational page (H1/H2s + FAQs aimed at featured snippets), and
2) a shortlist of secondary keywords/PAA questions to map into sections for the bulk CSV intent.
