Importing audio in bulk

Using the Import button in the header of Media Manager, audio can be uploaded in bulk from rows in a spreadsheet.

Note

If an account is attached to multiple teams, uploaded videos will belong to the team active in the team selector dropdown.

Creating the spreadsheet

The first row of the spreadsheet should contain column headings. Whilst column names do not need to match one from the table below, columns that are recognised will be pre-filled in the import form.

Available video fields

Field	Notes
title	Required field. Audio title.
url	Required field. Audio file URL, Include http(s)://
description	Audio description.
tags	Comma separated text, each tag may contain spaces.
previewable	0 = Not previewable, 1 = Previewable. Default 0.
published	0 = Not published, 1 = Published. Default 0.

Custom fields

To add custom fields to a audio from a spreadsheet import, add a column into the spreadsheet per custom field. The column name will become the field key/name with any spaces replaced by underscores. On the field mapping screen, add each custom field using the dropdown, click add once selected for each item (see screenshot).

Sample spreadsheet

The table below illustrates the format for importing videos using public facing video file URLs.

title	description	url	tags
Annual General Meeting Highlights	Jane Doe reports from the Annual General Meeting in London.	https://example.com/path/to/video.mp3	AGM,London
Information video for industry experts		https://example.com/path/to/video2.wav

Tip

Media Manager supports all modern audio file formats.

Deleting imports

Imports can be deleted from the imports list accessible from the left hand menu. Deleting an import will not remove the videos that were created as part of the import, you have to do this on the video grid. If all imports for a team are deleted the link in the left hand menu will be hidden from view.
