A) Import posts via the Zapier integration
In SocialBee you can import CSVs, add links in bulks, or add videos and images in bulk.
Additionally, you can also import posts in SocialBee via Zapier.
- In order to start using it, you first need to create a free Zapier account.
- See here all Zapier's integrations.
Building your Zap requires:
- Set up your trigger (any app in Zapier)

- Add your social media post details
1. Set up your trigger (any app in Zapier)
The first step in setting up a zap is
picking an app as a trigger (this stars the automation).
- Make sure you're logged in the app you wish to use a trigger.
- Select the account from which you want to pull data and test your trigger.
2. Set up your action (SocialBee)
The second step in setting up a zap is picking an app as an action.
- Make sure you're logged into your SocialBee account.
- Select the account from which you want to pull data and test your trigger.
👉 See Zapier's documentation on how to set up an action.
When SocialBee is chosen as the “Action” of the Zap, the only action available is: Create Post.
a. Setting up the details of your social media post
When SocialBee is set as Action, you'll need to specify
how and where you want your post to be imported.
In Zapier → Action (SocialBee) you'll need to select (This may vary depending on the app set as Trigger):
