# Bulk import posts

Turn a list of product links or a CSV spreadsheet into draft posts in one go.

Source: https://qkap.app/docs/bulk-import-posts

Bulk import creates many posts at once, either from pasted product links or from a CSV file. Every imported post starts as a draft, so nothing goes live until you publish it.

> Bulk import is a Premium feature. On the Free plan the Import menu shows a lock and links to [pricing](https://qkap.app/pricing).

## Where to find it

Go to **Dashboard → Posts** and open the **Import** menu. You'll see two options:

- **Paste links**: turn up to 50 product links into drafts.
- **CSV import**: bring posts from a spreadsheet or an export.

## Paste links

1. Choose **Import → Paste links**.
2. Paste your links into **Product links**, one per line, then tap **Preview links**.
3. QKAP reads each link's title, photo and price. Fix any title, or add a cover where no photo was found.
4. Choose **One draft post per link** (each link becomes its own draft, with the product photo as the cover) or **One draft post with all products** (all links go into one draft, like a "products from this reel" post).
5. Tap **Create**. Your drafts appear in your posts list.

## CSV import

1. Choose **Import → CSV import**.
2. **Choose a CSV file**, or use **Paste CSV instead**. Include the header row.
3. Tap **Preview import**, check each post, and add covers where needed.
4. Import. Each post gets a new number and stays hidden until you publish it.

### CSV rules

- Only `product_url` is required. Other columns are optional.
- Rows with the same `post_number` become one post. Rows without one are a post each.
- Write `product_deal_ends_at` as `2026-10-05 18:30` (your time zone), or keep the export's dates. Rows with other date formats are skipped.
- Up to 50 posts and 500 rows per import, and files up to 2 MB.

Recognised columns include `post_caption`, `post_category`, `post_source_url`, `post_image_url`, `product_title`, `product_url`, `product_image_url`, `product_price`, `product_original_price`, `product_coupon_code`, `product_store`, `product_deal_ends_at` and `product_deal_label`.

> Tip: Use **Download your posts as a template** to get a CSV in the right shape. The same file comes from the export button on **Dashboard → Posts**.

## After importing

Open each draft, check it, and publish or schedule it. On the Free plan, limits on live posts still apply. See [Numbered posts](https://qkap.app/docs/numbered-posts).

## Common questions

### Do imported posts keep their old numbers?

No. Every imported post gets a new number, so numbers are never reused.

### Will imported posts go live straight away?

No. They're created as drafts. Nothing goes live until you publish.

### My file is too big. What now?

Import a smaller part at a time. Each import takes up to 2 MB, 50 posts and 500 rows.
