Unfortunately that doesn't work in the latest version. They explain why here: http://sequelize.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/model/#bulkcreaterecords-options-promisearrayinstance

note that the description specifically mentions mysql. You'll have to query for them. (example includes var _ = require('lodash');

var cat = rm.models.category;
cat.bulkCreate(data)
 .then(function (instances) {
    var names = _.map(instances, function (inst) {
      return inst.cat_name;
    });
    return cat.findAll({where: {cat_name: {$in: names}}); 
 })
 .then(function(response){
    res.json(response);
 })
 .catch(function(error){
    res.json(error);
 });
