Import from a Markdown file

Fill the caption, description and first comment from a .md file with a simple layout.

Who can use this: People with the Create posts permission.

Above the caption box press Import from .md and choose a .md file. Postalu reads headings and puts each section in the right field. It replaces what is in those fields.

1. The layout

HeadingBecomesNotes
# CaptionThe caption
# DescriptionThe descriptionFor YouTube and TikTok photo posts
# TagsHashtags added to the end of the caption (and of the description)Separated by spaces. Only the first 5 are used. Write them with the #
# First CommentThe first commentKept exactly as written

Headings are not case sensitive, and any heading level works (#, ##). A heading needs a space after the #, so a hashtag like #launch inside a line is never mistaken for a heading. If the file has no headings, the whole file becomes the caption.

2. Example file

A file with these lines, in this order, one per line:

  • # Caption
  • Three mistakes that kill your reach.
  • # Description
  • A short guide with examples for creators.
  • # Tags
  • #creator #growth #tips
  • # First Comment
  • Which one did you make? Tell me below.

gives the caption Three mistakes that kill your reach. followed by the three hashtags, the description with the hashtags added, and the first comment as written.

After importing, a green message says Imported caption, description (max 5 tags) and first comment from your-file.md. Edit anything before you continue.
