X (Twitter)
Connect X to Social9, check your monthly X post allowance per plan, use threads, polls, quotes and first comments, and avoid X's 24-hour duplicate text rule.
Social9 posts to your X account.
Where to find it#
Tools → Channels → Connect Channel → X (Twitter). You can also press the X icon under Connect more channels in the left menu.
X is not on the Free plan. X charges per post, so each paid plan has its own monthly allowance of X posts.
| Plan | X posts a month |
|---|---|
| Free | Not available |
| Individual | 50 |
| Team | 150 |
| Agency | 300 |
| Enterprise | Unlimited |
The allowance shows on Account menu → Usage as X posts this month.
Connecting#
- On the Channels page, press Connect Channel and pick the X tile.
- Sign in to X and allow Social9 to post.
What a post can include#
| Limit | |
|---|---|
| Text | 280 characters |
| Images | Up to 4 |
| Video | 1 |
| Mix photos and video | No |
| Needs media | No |
Options#
In the Create Post window, press Customize for each network and open the X tab (or press Options for X (Twitter) when it is the only network). Under Options for X (Twitter):
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Post as a thread | Splits long text into numbered posts of up to 280 characters |
| Who can reply | Everyone, Accounts you follow, or Only people you mention |
| Add a poll | 2 to 4 choices, from 5 minutes to 7 days. A poll cannot have photos or video |
| Quote a post (link or ID) | Quotes another post |
| First comment | A reply to your own post, right after it goes live. Single posts only. Counts as one more X post |
The duplicate rule#
X does not allow the same text twice within 24 hours on one account. Social9 checks this when you schedule. Change the wording a little, or post it a day later.
