Add an X (formerly Twitter) account

X (formerly known as Twitter) can be important to many social media marketing efforts. Learn how to add your X profile to Sendible so that you can begin to schedule and publish your content.

Important: X does not allow posting the same or similar content to multiple profiles, and this will also be blocked within Sendible. For example, you will only be able to select one X account from the Compose Box and one X profile when creating a Profile List. Please see the Twitter posting rules for more information.

Add an X (FKA Twitter) social profile

Select the Profile tab and, in the drop-down menu, select Add profiles.
Select the Add button where Twitter is displayed.

Add the first X account

Enter the credentials for the relevant X account you want to add.
Caution: You will need the login credentials for the X account you are trying to connect.
Confirm the relevant X account is logged in by checking the top right corner of the window, then click Authorize app.

Add additional X accounts

If you’ve previously connected an X account to Sendible, you may see that when trying to add a new account, you continue to be logged into the old one. Due to this, it is recommended that you log out of all X accounts natively before adding an additional X profile to Sendible. Alternatively, you may open Sendible in an incognito/private browser window before adding an additional X account as a profile.

X account profile settings

'How link previews should be posted': This drop-down allows you to select how you want the images from the link handled.
- Ignore images: The post will have a large image that, when clicked, will take the user to the linked webpage. The link will not appear in the text of the post.
- Post with images: The post will have a large image that, when clicked, will expand the image. The link will appear in the text of the post and can be click on there.
  Note: Even if the option for 'Post with images' is set, there are instances where an image will not be included in the post. For example, if including an image with a link preview causes the caption limit to be exceeded or the images cannot be uploaded, the post would still be published, but without the image.
Once you’re happy with the settings you’ve applied, click Save Settings.

The newly added profile will be available in the Compose Box and can be added to Profile Lists. You will also be able to view reports for the profile 24-48 hours after connecting.
