Bulk Create

Canopy → Bulk Create turns any text into individual draft posts. The fastest way to get a week’s worth of content into Canopy in one go.

When to use it

• You exported a NotebookLM brief and want each section as its own post.
• ChatGPT gave you “10 ideas for next week” and you want them in drafts, not a doc.
• You have a single blog post that breaks naturally into LinkedIn- sized chunks.
• You’re migrating from another tool and have a backlog of drafts.

Step 1 — Paste

Drop the text into the textarea. Up to ~30 posts worth (~30,000 characters).

Recognized formats:

• Post 1: … / Post 2: … headers (most common ChatGPT/NotebookLM output).
• 1. / 2. / 1) / 2) numbered lists.
• --- (three or more hyphens) as separators.
• Plain double-newline-separated paragraphs (fallback).

Click Split into posts. Canopy detects the pattern and shows parsed results.

Step 2 — Review

Each detected post becomes a row with:

• Checkbox — deselect to exclude (e.g. an intro paragraph that shouldn’t be its own post).
• Title — first 60 chars, used internally only.
• Content — full post body. Click the pencil icon to edit inline.
• Char count — quick eyeball check (LinkedIn caps at 3,000 chars, ideal range is 800–2,000).
• Trash icon — remove the post entirely.

Make any edits, deselect bad parses, then click Create N Drafts.

Step 3 — Done

Every selected post is created in My Posts with status DRAFT. You’ll see a confirmation count and two next-step buttons:

• Go to My Posts — to schedule, edit, or publish them.
• Create More — back to step 1 with the textarea cleared.

Common gotchas

Symptom	Cause	Fix
”Could not detect individual posts”	No format pattern matches	Manually add Post 1: / Post 2: headers, or --- between posts
Single 5,000-char post when you expected 5	Patterns weren’t picked up; fell through to single-paragraph mode	Add explicit Post 1: / Post 2: headers
31 posts truncated to 30	Bulk Create caps at 30 per batch	Run a second batch with the rest
Posts contain leftover Post 1: headers	Custom formats Canopy didn’t strip	Edit the affected rows inline, then create

What Bulk Create doesn’t do

• No AI rewriting — Bulk Create is pure parsing. Each draft preserves your input verbatim. To AI-improve before saving, use Compose or run the drafts through Improve afterwards.
• No scheduling — drafts land as DRAFT, unscheduled. Use the Calendar / Queue to schedule them in batch.
• No carousel generation — Bulk-created posts are plain text. Add carousels in Compose afterwards.

Tips

• Polish in the source first. Bulk Create rewards good input — five well-edited posts in a doc beat 30 raw bullet points.
• Use NotebookLM for source-driven posts. Drop a few articles into NotebookLM, ask for “8 LinkedIn posts based on the most surprising insights, with Post 1: / Post 2: headers”, paste the result.
• One concept per post. Bulk Create’s parser is dumb on purpose — if you mix two ideas into one block, they stay one post. Split ideas in your source.
• Schedule in batch from My Posts. Once drafts land, select all, pick Add to queue to fill your weekly slots in one click.
