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"

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the open-source personal AI agent with 145k+ GitHub stars. It runs locally on your machine, connects through apps you already use, and takes real actions on your behalf.

💬

Works Where You Are

Message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, or 10+ other platforms. No new app to learn.

🧩

Skill-Based Architecture

OpenClaw extends its abilities through Skills — lightweight plugins defined in Markdown files. Postiz is available as a skill on ClawHub.

⏰

Proactive Automation

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. OpenClaw can post your X content on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

How Postiz Becomes an OpenClaw Skill

When you install Postiz Agent globally, OpenClaw automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells OpenClaw what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose X posts with the right settings.

✓Install from ClawHub with one command: clawhub install nevo-david/postiz
✓OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Eligibility is checked automatically — POSTIZ_API_KEY must be set
✓Skills are loaded on-demand, keeping the agent context clean
✓Works with any LLM backend: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and more

Install from ClawHub

# Install the Postiz skill
clawhub install nevo-david/postiz

# Or install the CLI globally
npm install -g postiz

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Verify OpenClaw sees it
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Output:
# - postiz: Social media automation
#   CLI for scheduling posts
#   across 30+ platforms

X Posting with OpenClaw

Message OpenClaw from any platform — it reads the Postiz skill, discovers your X integration, and handles the entire posting workflow autonomously.

🦀

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord...

Send a message to OpenClaw from your favorite chat app. It runs as a persistent daemon on your machine, so it picks up your message, discovers your X account via Postiz, composes your tweet, and schedules the post — all while you go about your day.

WhatsApp / Telegram

You: Post a thread on X about our new
  feature launch, schedule for tomorrow
  at 9am, let everyone reply

OpenClaw: Got it! Here's what I'll do:
  1. Create a 3-tweet thread
  2. Schedule for 2025-03-02T09:00:00Z
  3. Settings: everyone can reply

  Done! Your X thread is scheduled.
  Post ID: abc-123

Scheduled & Proactive

Cron jobs for recurring content

OpenClaw supports cron-based heartbeat tasks. Set up a recurring job that drafts and posts tweets on a schedule automatically — no manual trigger needed.

openclaw.json (heartbeat)

{
  "heartbeat": [
    {
      "cron": "0 9 * * 1-5",
      "prompt": "Check ~/content/tweets
  for new .txt files. For each one,
  read the content and schedule an
  X post for today at noon.
  Use everyone reply settings.
  Move posted files
  to ~/content/posted."
    }
  ]
}

Why OpenClaw + Postiz for X

OpenClaw's skill system makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for X workflows.

✓Message from WhatsApp to post a tweet — no terminal needed
✓Cron jobs for hands-free daily posting schedules
✓Structured JSON output lets OpenClaw verify each step succeeded
✓Thread creation handled automatically with multiple content flags
✓Cross-post to X + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or open-source LLMs

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"}' \
    -i "x-id"
done
