How to schedule from CSV

With Metricool, you can batch schedule your content through a CSV file by accessing the planning . Import the CSV from the calendar for one or several brands at a time or from the autolists section.

From the Calendar

Download the template. You can find it by clicking on "Import CSV" within the calendar options menu.

💡 You can also fill it from Google Sheets by downloading our Social Media Marketing Template. In this video tutorial, we explain all the details.



A new window will pop up where you will find the option "Download template".



Fill in the template as shown in the example and don't delete or add columns. To check all the fields available click here.

The languages accepted to complete the template are English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese.

Fill "TRUE" in the fields you want to add and "FALSE" in the fields that should not be included. For example, if we want to publish only on Instagram, we will fill true in the Instagram column and false in the rest of the networks.

If the "Brand Name" column is left empty, the post will be added to the brand you are in. If you want the same post for several different brands you must create one row per brand.

Attach Multimedia Files

To add multimedia content, it must be through a publicly configured link that directly points to an image or video:

Dropbox: The URL must not only be public but also end with ?dl=0.
Google Drive: The URL must be public and configured with Editor permissions. The Drive URL must end with .jpg or .png, or .mp4 for videos.

Remember to set the link to public. For Google Drive, Editor permission is required on the URL.

As an example, to generate a public link in Google Drive you must share the image or video with the option "anyone with the link".



Once you have the CSV file with your posts ready, just follow the same steps: click again on "Import CSV" and click on "CSV File" to add it.

A new window will appear where you can check errors, preview the posts and import them.

⚠️ A common error is the format of the date and time. Select from the drop-down the same format you used when creating the file as shown in this example.

From Autolists

For autolists there is no template available because the CSV file must only contain two columns: One for the text and another for the link to the image or video. If you need to add more images, you can add a column for each image, up to a maximum of 10. Check the number of images allowed by social network here.

You can also download the scheduled posts from the Calendar or Autolists in a CSV file.

The links to the videos or photos in the CSV file, must end in .jpg, .png, or .mp4 and must be public.
