How to bulk compose posts for multiple locations on SocioConnect:

  1. Upload a CSV file to our bulk composer tab on the posts screen.
    The CSV file should include the following columns. File names from the content pool are optional. You can review posts and fix any errors in the next step.


    All file names must relate to the file name stored in the Content Pool on SocioConnect. If a file does not live on SocioConnect, it will not be recognised by our Bulk Composer.

  2. Once the file is uploaded, select 'next' in the top right corner to continue bulk composing your posts.

  3. Select channels for your posts.
    If the majority of posts are being scheduled to the same group, you can select all and choose the associated group on the right-hand side.
    To choose different groups/channels for individual posts, choose your post by highlighting the box to the left of the chosen post and then choose the associated group/channel on the right-hand side. Once chosen, click 'apply' in the top right corner to save your choice and move on to the next post.

    Once a channel has been selected for all posts, select 'next' in the top right corner to continue bulk composing your posts.

  4. Fix any post errors.
    This screen will go through any errors you have in your posts (for example - you may have too many images added to a post, your file size may be too large or your post copy may be too long for a specific platform.)
    You can view all File Formats & Rules here.

  5. You can also edit your posts in this section. Scroll down on the right-hand side of the screen to update any section of the post, just as you would on the Create a Post screen.

  6. Bulk schedule your posts now.
