Mastering the Bulk Upload Feature: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you are managing a full content calendar, uploading posts one by one is not always practical. The Bulk Upload feature in Eclincher lets you upload up to 100 posts at a time, giving you a much faster way to schedule content, fill your queues, send posts for approval, or save them as drafts.

What you can do with Bulk Upload:

• Schedule posts directly to your Calendar
• Save posts to your Drafts folder
• Send posts to the Approval List for review
• Load posts into an Auto Post Queue

Upload Methods at a Glance

Eclincher supports three different ways to bulk upload content:

From a CSV or XLSX file:

• Bulk Upload as Scheduled Posts
• Bulk Upload as Draft Posts
• Bulk Upload to the Approval List
• Bulk Upload to Approval List for Auto Post Queues

From a Folder:

• Bulk Upload to a Queue with a preview image (scraped from a URL)
• Bulk Upload to a Queue as text only
• Bulk Upload to the Approval List

From an RSS Feed:

• Bulk Upload to a Queue by entering a URL
• Bulk Upload via an RSS feed URL

How to Access Bulk Upload

How to Use the Bulk Upload Feature

Here’s how to use the Bulk Upload feature effectively:

1. Navigate to Upload Posts

• Go to New Post or Auto Post
• Click Upload Posts

Note: In the Auto Post Queue page, if you do a bulk upload while no queue exists, the uploaded files can only be saved to the Drafts folder, which can be found on the New Post page. It is recommended to create a queue first before doing a bulk upload so the uploaded files can be saved to an existing queue. Alternatively, you can do a bulk upload while creating a new Auto Post Queue.

2. Choose Your Upload Scenario

• Select the option that matches where you want your content to go: Scheduled Posts, Queue, Drafts, or Approval List

3. Prepare Your Image URLs

• If you are including image URLs in Column C, make sure each image is publicly accessible
• To get the correct URL, right-click the image, open it in a new tab, and copy the raw image URL from the browser address bar

4. Save Your File Correctly

• Save your CSV or XLSX file before uploading
• If your posts include special characters or emojis, double-check that the file is saved in a compatible format to avoid any display issues

5. Finalize and Save

• Once the upload is complete, assign your profiles, queues, or any additional settings as needed
• Review the posts and click Save to confirm everything

Uploading Images from a Folder

1. Prepare Your Image Folder

• Gather all the images you want to upload and save them in a single folder

2. Select the Upload Option

• Choose Upload Images from Folder, click Upload, and select the folder where your images are saved

3. Review the Upload Order

• Images are uploaded in alphabetical order based on their file names, so name your files accordingly if order matters

Attaching Images in Bulk to Existing Posts

If you have posts already uploaded that are missing images, you can attach images to them in bulk:

• Open the Bulk Actions dropdown
• Select Upload Images Will Only Apply to Posts Without Images
• Choose the folder containing your images
• Eclincher will automatically match and attach images to posts based on file names
• Posts that already have an image or link preview will be skipped

Bulk Uploading from an RSS Feed

• Navigate to Curated RSS in your dashboard
• Click Add Feed
• Search for or enter your RSS feed URL
• Click the Upload Posts to Queue(s) button to load the feed content into your selected queue

Quick FAQs

• How many posts can I upload at once? Up to 100 posts per bulk upload.
• Can I bulk upload to multiple profiles at the same time? You can assign profiles in Column F of your file, and additional profiles can be added after the upload is complete in the Post Destination section.
• What happens if my image URL is not loading? Make sure the image is set to public viewing. Private or restricted URLs will not load correctly. Open the image in a new browser tab to confirm the URL works before adding it to your file.
• Can I edit posts after uploading them? Yes. Once uploaded, you can edit any post before it is published.
