## What she can post to X

X is the network she paces herself on. One post goes out at a time, because X allows 300 posts per three hours, and a thread is simply the first post followed by replies she chains onto it.

  <Card title="Character limit" icon="text-width">
    280 characters, or 4,000 on a channel marked Verified
  </Card>

  <Card title="Media" icon="photo-film">
    Optional. Up to 4 pictures, or one video
  </Card>

  <Card title="Post types" icon="layer-group">
    Post, reply, thread, community post
  </Card>

  <Card title="Analytics" icon="chart-line">
    Yes, unless you set `DISABLE_X_ANALYTICS`
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

The Verified flag is read from your X profile when the channel connects, and it lives on the channel as a checkbox you can correct later. Account numbers come back as impressions, likes and retweets, plus replies, quotes and bookmarks. Per post she reads the same six.

| **Post settings** | `who_can_reply_post`, `community`, `made_with_ai`, `paid_partnership`. Full schema in the [X settings reference](/public-api/providers/x)                                                            |
| **Connect flow**  | One step. She logs in as whichever account is signed in on X, so switch accounts there first if you want a different one                                                                             |
| **Automations**   | Auto Repost Posts, Auto plug post, and Add Re-posters, which pulls in your other connected X channels to repost for you. The first two read like counts, so they turn off with `DISABLE_X_ANALYTICS` |

<Warning>
  What X sends back when a post will not fly:

  * **There must be a maximum of 4 items per post.**
  * **There can be maximum of one cashtag (\$SYMBOL) per post.**
  * **You are not allowed to create a post with duplicate content.** Reword it and try again.
  * **The video you are trying to post is longer than 2 minutes, which is not allowed for this account.**
</Warning>

## Post Settings

When creating a post for X, you can configure the following options:

* **Who can reply**: Control who can reply to your post. The options are everyone, accounts you follow, mentioned accounts, subscribers, or verified accounts.
* **Post to a community**: Optionally share your post to an X community by providing the community URL.
* **Made with AI**: Mark your post as containing AI-generated content. When enabled, the post will be labeled accordingly on X.
* **Paid partnership**: Mark your post as a paid promotion. When enabled, the post will be labeled as a paid partnership on X.
