Posting
What Crosspost sends to X, when it sends it, and how to stay in control of the result.
The cycle
- Crosspost checks the watched tweet.app account on a regular schedule.
- Anything published after you connected, and not seen before, becomes an item.
- With automatic posting on, the item goes straight to X. With it off, the item waits in Waiting until you approve or dismiss it.
- Every attempt lands in History with its result.
Each post is remembered, so a post is never sent to X twice — even if a check runs again or a connection is repaired later.
Automatic or review first
Review-first is the default and the safer starting point: nothing reaches X until you press approve. Switch on Post to X automatically once a few approvals have looked right. You can turn it back off at any moment; items already sent are not recalled.
What gets skipped
- Replies — skipped by default. A reply usually makes no sense outside the thread it belongs to.
- Quotes — sent by default. Turn them off if the quoted post will not exist on X.
- Long posts — tweet.app allows more characters than X. Choose Shorten them to fit to trim the text, or Leave them out to skip anything too long rather than publish a cut-off version.
Waiting and History
Waiting shows every item held for approval, with the text exactly as it would be published. History keeps the record: what was sent, what was skipped and why, and what failed. If posting stops unexpectedly, History is the first place to look, then the troubleshooting guide.
Your responsibilities
Posts published through Crosspost are published by you, with your own X app. Automated posting is subject to the X Developer Terms, the X Terms of Service and the tweet.app Terms of Service, including their rules on duplicate and automated content.
