Import CSV

What is Import CSV?

The Import CSV feature in Multi-Location Social allows you to upload and manage multiple social media posts in bulk. You can schedule posts across various social networks and locations using a single CSV file. With AI-powered localization, you can now personalize these posts for each location.

Why is Import CSV important?

Previously, you could only schedule one social post at a time. This feature removes that limitation, making it faster to plan and publish content across multiple locations and networks. AI-powered localization enhances this further by tailoring each post to reflect local context, improving relevance without extra manual effort.

What's Included with Import CSV?

  • CSV template for post formatting
  • Bulk upload of text, images, and videos
  • Multi-network selection (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile)
  • Scheduling options for each post
  • Optional draft mode for saving posts
  • In-line editing and deletion after upload
  • AI-powered localization for personalized posts by location
