# CSV import: create posts in bulk

> Create draft or scheduled posts in bulk with a generated CSV template.

Use **Posts → Import CSV** to create many posts without entering them one at a time.

## CSV columns

The generated organization-specific template includes:

| Column          | Description                                           |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `content`       | Post text                                             |
| `channels`      | Target channel names from your organization           |
| `datetime`      | ISO date/time; an empty value uses queue scheduling   |
| `first_comment` | Optional first comment where the provider supports it |
| `thread`        | Optional thread content for supported providers       |

Download the template from the import page instead of inventing channel names. The template is generated for your organization and uses channels that actually exist there.

## Import modes

* **Scheduled** creates posts for the queue.
* **Draft** creates posts without scheduling them. If your organization uses the approval workflow, submit the imported drafts separately with **Send for approval** or the approval API/MCP tools.

The CSV upload is limited to 2 MB. Validate the file before import and review the result for row-level errors. Provider limits and required fields still apply after the CSV is parsed.
