How to Export to Craigslist
Craigslist doesn't offer an automated tool to export content from one website or application into a classified posting. Craigslist also doesn't permit automated user scripts to interact with its classifieds website. However, you can transfer your content from an external source to your Craigslist ad listing by copying and pasting the text from its source into the Craigslist post editor.
