X rewards brevity, so AutoPost validates every caption against the 280-character limit before it is queued — you find out while editing the template, not after a post is silently cut in half.
The post type follows the media on your product, so you do not have to choose per post.
| Type | Built from | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Post with image | A product image and short copy | Fast, frequent catalog updates |
| Post with video | A product video and short copy | Launches and demonstrations |
| Text and link | Template copy plus {PRODUCT_URL} | Driving clicks to the product page |
These are the scopes the authorisation screen will show you. AutoPost asks for nothing beyond them.
| Scope | What it allows | Why AutoPost needs it |
|---|---|---|
tweet.write | Publish posts from the authorised account. | The core function: publishing the scheduled post with its media. |
tweet.read | Read posts on the authorised account. | To confirm a post was created and show its state in the app. |
users.read | Read the basic profile of the authorised account. | To show which account is connected, so posts do not go to the wrong profile. |
offline.access | Keep the authorisation valid without you being present. | So scheduled posts can be published later — the point of a scheduler — without asking you to log in again each day. |
| Account type | Any X account able to post |
|---|---|
| Caption | Up to 280 characters, validated before queueing |
| Media | One product image or video per post |
| Links | A link consumes characters — leave room for it |
| Templates | Keep a dedicated short template for this network |
offline.access is what allows posting on a schedule while you are awayGo to Accounts and find the X (Twitter) card.
Log in on X's own screen and approve the scopes listed above.
280 characters including the link. One sentence, one link, at most one hashtag is a reliable pattern.
Tick X (Twitter) as a publishing target and set the schedule.
Any caption that exceeds the limit is flagged before it is queued, so the fix happens in the template rather than in production.
Because posts are published on a schedule, often when nobody is logged in. Without that permission the authorisation would expire and scheduled posts would fail.
It is rejected at editing time with the character count shown, so you can shorten the template. Nothing is published truncated.
Each post carries one product image or video. For multi-image storytelling, Instagram carousels and TikTok photo carousels are the better fit.
No. It reads your basic profile and the state of its own posts. Timeline, followers and direct messages are neither requested nor accessed.
AutoPost stores the encrypted authorisation tokens, the account identifier and the profile details shown in the app, plus the posts you scheduled and their results. Disconnect the account in AutoPost, or revoke access on the platform, and the tokens are deleted. See the Privacy Policy and data deletion pages.
Fixed brand copy, product variables and AI blocks — and which caption patterns suit each network.
