Given the high number of social media posts that marketers are expected to create on a daily basis, sometimes it's easier to write them out in a spreadsheet, and then upload them.
With the Advanced Social Media Module, you can upload messages from a CSV file, and all of them will be saved in Message Assets, which can later be accessed for scheduling.
How to Use the Bulk Uploader
- Go to the Campaigns tab, select a Campaign go to the Message Assets tab.
- Click on the Import button, and download the CSV template
- Fill out the template according to the legend below; save it as a CSV file. Once the file is ready, navigate back to Message Assets, click on the Import Messages button again, and upload your file.
| Field | Networks | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Network | All |
Mandatory. Type it exactly as written below, keep in mind capitalization: |
| Message | All | Mandatory. This is the body of the post itself. If you are tweeting, make sure to include any links in this section. Please note they will be shortened upon publication. A link in a tweet counts as 23 characters. |
| LinkUrl | Facebook, LinkedIn | Optional. Facebook and LinkedIn posts all support link attachments. This is why you don't need to include the link in the message itself. The link attachment is constructed using four fields; LinkUrl, LinkTitle, ImageUrl and Description. At the bottom of this article you can find the anatomy of a link attachment. |
| LinkTitle | Facebook, LinkedIn | Optional. Used to create headline shown in the link attachment. |
| ImageUrl | Facebook, LinkedIn | Optional. Used to create the image (thumbnail) shown in the link attachment. |
| Description | Facebook, LinkedIn | Optional. Used to create the description of the link attachment. |
| Picture | Facebook, Twitter | Optional. Used to upload an image to your post. The image must be in URL format. Important: On Facebook you can either have a link attachment or upload an image, but not both. This is irrelevant for Twitter, since Twitter doesn't have a link attachment and the link is just a part of the Tweet itself. If you still would like to have a link in your Facebook post, just include the link in the message itself, and don't use the link attachment option. |
