Channels with Auto-Plugs
Other networks have no Automations section. Auto Repost Posts reposts the post from the same account; on a LinkedIn Page, the page reshares it. Auto plug post publishes your text as a reply under the post, or as a comment on a LinkedIn Page.
Set up a plug
1
Open the channel
In Channels, pick a channel from the table above. Automations has one row per action, marked Active or Off.
2
Open the plug
Choose Set up plug on the row of the action you want. A window titled with the action’s name opens.
3
Fill in the fields
The amount of likes to trigger the repost takes a whole number. Auto plug post also asks for Message content to plug: the text of your follow-up, at least three characters.
4
Turn it on
Choose Activate. “Plug updated” confirms it. The plug is on, and every post this channel publishes from now on is watched.
What happens after a post goes out
PostQueen reads the post’s like count up to three times: about 6, 18 and 36 hours after it publishes. The plugs on one channel share a single queue of checks. With two plugs on, the six checks fall about 6, 12, 24, 36, 54 and 72 hours after the post goes out, so each plug’s three checks are further apart than they would be on its own.- The first check that finds enough likes runs the action once. The checks left for that post are dropped.
- If no check finds enough likes, nothing happens, and the post is not checked again.
- The post itself still goes out at the time you scheduled. A plug only acts afterward.
Turn a plug off or change it
- The toggle on a row switches a plug off or back on and keeps its fields. Switching it off affects posts published after that; a post that is already being watched keeps its remaining checks.
- Edit in the channel’s Automations section reopens the window. On the Auto-Plugs page the button reads Edit plug while the plug is on.
- Activate saves new values but does not switch a plug back on. Use the toggle for that.
Good to know
- A plug belongs to the channel, not to one post. Posts published before you set it up are not checked.
- A channel that shows Needs reconnecting cannot run its plugs. Reconnect it on the Channels page.
- For X, the post composer also offers Add Re-posters in the channel’s settings: other X channels you connected repost the post. See Create a post.
- On X, plugs use credits, because X charges PostQueen for reading and posting. The plug’s window says what it takes: each like check reads the post, at most once a day for the same post, and the action is charged when it runs. A reply with a link costs more than one without. A plug starts a check only when the balance can pay for the check and the action. When it cannot, the plug stops for that post and the bell shows “A plug stopped: not enough credits”. Bluesky, Threads and LinkedIn Page plugs take no credits.
