Run X from a chat message
OpenClaw executes the postqueen CLI on your own machine, so a single message can create, schedule or reschedule X posts with no dashboard open.
XAutomate X with OpenClaw
Message your agent from the chat apps you already use and it drafts, schedules and publishes X posts through postqueen while you get on with your day.
Quick start
Install the postqueen CLI on the machine OpenClaw runs on, then drive X from any chat thread.
Terminal
# Give OpenClaw the postqueen CLInpm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # Then message your agent:# "Draft three X posts about our# launch and schedule them for this week"What OpenClaw can run on X
Windows that fit X
Tell OpenClaw when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on X, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so X posts arrive with their media in place instead of a bare link.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask OpenClaw for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your followers on X until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover X
OpenClaw calls postqueen to list your connected accounts and sees what X supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with OpenClaw
Give it the brief. The agent writes X-shaped posts and proposes publish times that match when your followers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and OpenClaw can pull the results after.
What X allows
OpenClaw reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.
- Post length
- 280 characters on a standard account, up to 25,000 characters with X Premium
- Media per post
- Up to 4 images, or 1 GIF, or 1 video (images and GIFs cannot be mixed)
- Video length
- Up to 2 minutes 20 seconds on a standard account, longer for Premium subscribers
- Threads
- Chain any number of posts, published in order as native replies
- Alt text
- Up to 1,000 characters of image description per attachment
- API access
- Publishing runs on the official X API, so self-hosted installs connect with their own X developer app

Scheduling, AI drafts, analytics and team roles, in one guide.
F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does OpenClaw connect X to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where OpenClaw runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list X posts reliably.
Can OpenClaw schedule X posts at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the posts it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.
Will OpenClaw publish to X on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the posts wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover X and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so OpenClaw can turn the same brief into X posts plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does OpenClaw access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
Which X formats can postqueen schedule?
Single posts, threads, images, GIFs and native video. You compose once, preview how the post will look, and postqueen publishes it in X's native format at the scheduled time.
Can postqueen publish X threads?
Yes. Write the parts in order and postqueen posts them as a native thread, each part replying to the one before it. There is no reminder telling you to come back and paste part two by hand.
