X as a source
An X source can copy images, videos, text and quote posts
- Replies aren’t copied. Untick Quote posts to skip quotes and reposts.
- PostOnce checks X for new posts every 25 minutes.
- Short links are expanded to the original link.
Publishing to X
Images and video can’t be mixed. Longer text is cut at the limit.
Daily limits that protect your account
New X accounts that post a lot through apps often get restricted by X. To prevent this, PostOnce applies two limits across all the X accounts in your PostOnce account:- 12 posts in any 24 hours. Further posts fail with “twitter publishing limit reached” and can be retried once the window allows.
- One clickable link in any 24 hours. Later posts still publish, but their links are written with a lookalike dot so they aren’t clickable.
If X restricts your account
When X restricts an account, posts fail with “Your account is not permitted to access this feature. (Forbidden)”. This comes from X, not PostOnce. It usually happens after a new account publishes many posts in a short time.- Open x.com on the account and clear any notice or verification X shows.
- Wait 24 hours before posting again.
- Post less often, or turn on Set time between posts for X in the workflow’s Destinations settings.
