Schedule X (Twitter) posts with Eden
Connect X, then schedule tweets and threads with media, set up first comments and auto-retweet, and learn the character and media limits to know.
Eden schedules and publishes to X (Twitter) alongside the rest of your networks — from Eden's servers, so it posts whether or not your computer is on. This guide covers connecting your account, composing single posts and native threads with media, and the X-specific automations and limits to know.
Connect your account
- 01
Open Connected accounts
In Eden, go to Settings → Scheduling → Connected accounts and click Connect accounts. X links in the same one-step flow as LinkedIn, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
- 02
Approve on X's own login
On X's official login, sign in to the account you want to publish from and approve every permission. Eden never sees your X password — the connection happens entirely on X's side.
- 03
Close the window — Eden syncs
When the window closes, X appears with a green Connected badge. If it doesn't show right away, click the refresh icon next to “Connect accounts.”
What you can post
In the Schedule composer, select X as a target (it appears once your account is connected) and compose as usual. X supports:
- Text posts — standard posts cap at 280 characters.
- Native threads — each segment in the composer becomes its own tweet, published as a connected thread.
- Media — up to 4 images, or exactly 1 video, or 1 GIF per post. These never mix in a single post.
- First comment — auto-post a comment right after your post goes live (great for a link or CTA), immediately, after a delay, or once it hits a like threshold.
- Auto-retweet — repost your own post to your timeline a few hours later, up to twice, with an optional auto-remove to keep your timeline clean. This one is X-only.
Media: a couple of rules
- Never mix media types. A post can carry multiple images OR a single video OR one GIF — not a combination. If you attach both an image and a video, split them across separate posts.
- Use an X-compatible video format. Video should be H.264 / AAC MP4, the standard format X accepts. Other codecs can fail when X processes the post even if the upload looked fine.
What to expect
- Posts from Eden's servers, on time. Unlike Substack, X publishes server-side — your computer doesn't need to be on.
- Honest failures. If a post can't publish (for example, a disconnected account, mixed media, or long-form text on a non-Premium account), it lands in the “Attention needed” section at the top of your Queue with a plain-language reason and one-click Publish now / Reschedule actions.
- One credit per post. Publishing costs 1 credit when it goes out, no matter how many platforms it targets — posting to X, LinkedIn, and Facebook together is still 1 credit.
If an X post won't behave, the Scheduling troubleshooting guide covers the common snags. For setting up X alongside your other networks, see Connecting your accounts.
