- Up to 4 images, or 1 video. A video can't be combined with images.
- Threads: extra parts are published as replies, each one replying to the part before it. Each part can be up to 280 characters.
- Per-post setting: Who can reply (Everyone, Accounts you follow, or Only accounts you mention). The default is Everyone.
Connect your account
- In the sidebar, click + Add next to Channels. Only workspace owners and admins can add channels.
- Choose X.
- Click Continue to X.
- Sign in on X and allow access. You come back to Postline, and the account appears under Channels.

Analytics and plugs
Postline collects, per post: likes, replies (shown as comments), reposts plus quotes (shown as shares), impressions and bookmarks (shown as saves). It also tracks your follower count.
Plugs:
- Auto-repost: supported. Postline reposts your post once it reaches the number of likes you set.
- Follow-up: supported. Postline replies to your post with a follow-up once it reaches the number of likes you set.
Known issues
- Posting needs a paid X API tier on the server's X app.
- X allows one video per post, without other images. Postline shows "X allows one video per post, without other images." if you add more.
- If X can't process a video, the post fails with "X could not process the video".
- Postline refreshes the X access token automatically. If the refresh fails, you need to reconnect the channel.
