# Import Post Ideas

### Overview

The **Import Post Ideas** feature allows admins to quickly bring multiple post ideas into the system using a CSV file. This saves time and helps communication teams plan content at scale.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Only **Domain Admins** and **Intranet Admins** can import post ideas in bulk.
{% endhint %}

To Import post ideas, navigate to **Posts Module > Post Tools** and select **Import Post Ideas** from the dropdown menu.

When preparing your file for upload, make sure it includes the required fields:

* **Title** – The title of the post idea (mandatory).
* **Audience** – Choose from the same audience options available for regular posts (Everyone, Teams, User Criteria, or Specific Users).

Optional fields you can include:

* **Description** – Add supporting details for the idea.
* **Planned Publish Date** – If provided, the idea will appear in the Planning Calendar. If not, it will go into the **Unplanned list**.

{% hint style="danger" %}

* The title should be under 200 characters, and the description should not exceed 1000 characters.
* Enter “Everyone” as the audience for **company-wide posts**, or a comma-separated list of team names for team-specific posts.
* Planned publish date **must be** in MM/DD/YYYY format (e.g., 08/15/2025).
* Planned publish time **must be** in HH:MM AM/PM format (e.g., 10:30 AM or 03:45 PM) and will be interpreted based on user’s time zone.
  {% endhint %}

### Importing Steps

1. Click **Import Post Ideas**.
2. Upload your CSV file.
3. The system will process the file and create post ideas automatically.
4. A success message will confirm the number of ideas imported.

***

### After Import

* **Planned Post Ideas** (with dates) appear directly in the **Planning Calendar** under the correct date and time.
* **Unplanned Post Ideas** (without dates) appear in the **Unplanned list** until you assign a date.

Each imported idea is marked with the **blue “Idea” tag** for easy identification.
