X-Specific Features

🗣

Reply Controls

Control who can reply to your posts: everyone, people you follow, mentioned users, subscribers, or verified accounts only.

🧵

Thread Support

Create multi-tweet threads by passing multiple -c flags. Each flag becomes a separate tweet in the thread, posted in order.

🏘

Community Posting

Post directly to X Communities by providing a community URL. Reach targeted audiences with relevant content.

✍

Simple Text Posts

Quickly publish text-only tweets with hashtags, mentions, and links. No media upload required for basic posts.

📸

Media Attachments

Attach images or videos to your posts. Upload media through Postiz and include it seamlessly in your scheduled tweets.

📅

Scheduled Posting

Schedule posts with precise timestamps. Queue up a week of content in minutes and let Postiz handle the publishing.

How It Works

Find Your X Integration

List your connected accounts and grab your X integration ID. You can also fetch available settings to see what options are supported.

Discovery

# List all integrations
postiz integrations:list

# Filter for X
postiz integrations:list | jq \
  '.[] | select(.identifier=="x")'

# Get X settings schema
postiz integrations:settings <x-id>

Compose Your Content

Write your tweet or thread. Use multiple -c flags to create threads. Add media with the -m flag after uploading through Postiz.

Compose

# Simple tweet
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Just shipped a new feature!" \
  --settings '{"who_can_reply_post":"everyone"}' \
  -i "x-id"

# Thread with multiple tweets
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Big announcement incoming..." \
  -c "We just hit 10k users!" \
  -c "Here's what we learned along the way." \
  --settings '{"who_can_reply_post":"everyone"}' \
  -i "x-id"

Schedule & Publish

Schedule your post for a specific time or publish immediately. Set reply controls and optionally target an X Community.

Post Creation

postiz posts:create \
  -c "Check out our latest blog post!" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "who_can_reply_post": "everyone",
    "community": "https://x.com/i/communities/123"
  }' \
  -i "x-id"

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your X integration, composes your tweet or thread, applies reply settings, and schedules the post.

Claude Code

> Post a thread about our product launch
  on X, schedule for tomorrow, everyone
  can reply

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Big news! We just launched..." \
    -c "Here's what makes it special..." \
    -c "Try it out today at..." \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"who_can_reply_post":
      "everyone"}' \
    -i "x-id"

X + Other Platforms

Schedule the same content to X and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Post to X and LinkedIn simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Excited to announce our new feature! #buildinpublic" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{"who_can_reply_post":"everyone"}' \
  -i "x-id,linkedin-id"

# Batch schedule a week of X content
for day in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Day $day tip! #dailytips" \
    -s "2025-03-0${day}T10:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"who_can_reply_post":"everyone"}' \
