Connect an X (Twitter) account

Connect an X (Twitter) account to your calendar so you can schedule and publish posts to it from CoSchedule. Available on Starter, Professional and Suite, not on the free plan.

Before you start

Connecting X needs an X profile on your plan. X profiles are separate from the social profiles your plan includes and don't count toward that limit.

If your plan has no X profile available, selecting Twitter in the connect window opens a window titled "Twitter Profiles Are Billed Separately" instead of connecting. If you already have X profiles, it's titled "You've Reached Your Twitter Profile Limit", and when you reconnect an X account it's titled "Twitter Profiles Are Now Billed Separately". Click Go to my Billing Page to add an X profile. Only the Owner and Managers can open billing. On Suite, the window has no button and asks you to talk to your Customer Success Manager.

Connect an X account

1. In CoSchedule, open Settings, then click the Social Profiles tab.
2. Click Connect Social Profile.
3. Select Twitter (X is still listed under its old name), then click Let's Connect.

4. In the pop-up window, sign in to X with the account you want to connect, then authorize the CoSchedule app.

5. Check that the account now appears on the Social Profiles tab.

Post longer messages with X Premium

If your X account has X Premium, you can post up to 25,000 characters once you verify the profile in CoSchedule. After you subscribe to X Premium on X:

1. Open Settings, then click the Social Profiles tab.
2. From the left-side menu, click your X profile.
3. Click Update Twitter Verification, the blue button in the profile's details.

CoSchedule shows one of these messages: "Twitter [Type] profile confirmed.", "Twitter verification removed." or "Twitter profile does not have a Blue subscription. Please purchase a subscription and try again." The last one means CoSchedule couldn't find an X Premium subscription on the account.

If the connection doesn't work

Check these in order:

1. Make sure you're signed in to X with the account you want to connect, not another account.
2. Try again in a private or incognito browser window, or in another browser.
3. Remove CoSchedule from the connected apps in your X settings, then connect the account again.

If the account still won't connect, contact support.

Reconnect an X account

If posts to X stop publishing, reconnect the account, then reschedule the posts that failed. For the steps, see Reconnect a social profile.
