Switch from Hootsuite

• Every row of the file, as one scheduled post each, up to 5,000 rows.
• Dates in the 24-hour MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm or DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm form. Any date that starts with a day above 12 makes the whole file read day first.
• Links, added to the end of the post text.

FoPost reads these columns from your Hootsuite Bulk Composer CSV:

Date

The first column. Month first or day first, as long as the whole file uses one.

Message

The second column: the post text.

Link

The third column, optional. Added to the end of the post text.

1. Step 1

   Find your Hootsuite file

   Use the CSV you made for the Bulk Composer: date, message and an optional link per row, with or without a header row.

2. Step 2

   Upload the file

   In FoPost, open Posts, choose Import Post, and drop the file in as it is. No renaming columns, no reformatting dates.

3. Step 3

   Pick the accounts

   The file has no accounts column, so choose the accounts the posts go to. They apply to every row.

4. Step 4

   Check the preview, then import

   Every row is checked before anything is created: dates in the past, text over a network limit, an image a network will not take. Fix the file if a row fails, then import. A whole import can be rolled back until a post from it goes out.

Stop exporting numbers from every app

Every network's results land in one place, so you can tell what to make more of.

• Posts already scheduled in Hootsuite. The Planner export uses a different layout, which is not read yet.
• Images. The Bulk Composer file has no media column, so add images in the composer after the import.
• Connected accounts. Each network has to be connected again through its own login.
• Analytics history. Numbers start from the day an account is connected.
