# How to schedule a thread on X in advance > Write a thread of 2 to 25 posts, pick a time, & DunSocial publishes it as one connected reply chain on X. Flat $20/mo, 14-day trial. - Published: 2026-10-01 - Last updated: 2026-10-01 - Author: Sanju (Founder & CEO @ DunSocial) - Topics: x, how-to --- To schedule a thread on X, write every post in a thread composer, pick a date & time, & let a scheduler publish them as one chain. DunSocial supports threads of 2 to 25 posts & sends them as a single connected reply chain at the time you choose. The point of scheduling a thread is that it lands whole. No half-published chain, no replies posted out of order, & no need to be online at the moment it goes out. ## How a scheduled thread works in DunSocial You connect your X account, write the posts in order, & set one scheduled time for the whole thread. DunSocial creates the first post, then replies to each previous post in sequence, so readers see one thread, not separate posts. - **2 to 25 posts per thread.** A single post is not a thread, & 25 is the upper limit. - **Each post carries its own media.** Attach images or video to the posts that need them. X accepts up to 4 media items per post. - **One scheduled job for the whole chain.** The thread is published together at your chosen time. - **X only.** Threads are an X feature in DunSocial. Bluesky, Threads, & the other networks take single posts. For those, see [how to cross-post to X, Threads & Bluesky](/blog/cross-post-to-x-threads-and-bluesky). ## Write the thread Each post still follows X's per-post limit: 280 characters, or up to 25,000 with X Premium. DunSocial checks the count as you type, so a post that would be rejected is flagged before you schedule it. A shape that holds together: - **Post 1:** the whole promise in one line. It is the only post most people see in the feed. - **Middle posts:** one point each, in the order a reader needs them. - **Last post:** the takeaway & one clear next step. If you want the draft to sound like you, DunSocial's AI Memory & Voice Presets feed your own facts & tone into the draft. A human still confirms before anything publishes. Nothing the AI writes goes out on its own.

DunSocial checks this when you schedule: a 10-post thread needs 10 posts of headroom. If you are short, the scheduler tells you how many remain & when the count resets, instead of failing at publish time. Plan around it. Long threads are worth the budget when the topic earns them. ## Pick the time Schedule when your audience is active, not when you finished writing. The calendar shows everything queued for the week, so you can space a thread away from your other posts. For timing data, see [best time to post on social media](/blog/best-time-to-post-on-social-media). ## Schedule from the terminal or an AI assistant The web app is the simplest route. If you work in a terminal or an AI assistant, the same workspace & calendar are reachable through the DunSocial CLI, API, & MCP, with the same human confirmation before go-live. See [post & schedule from the terminal with the DunSocial CLI](/blog/post-and-schedule-from-the-terminal-with-the-dunsocial-cli). ## Schedule your next thread $20/mo flat, or $192/yr, with a 14-day trial & every feature unlocked from day one. Write the thread once, pick a time, & it lands whole. [Start the trial](https://app.dunsocial.com/login). ## FAQ ### How many posts can a scheduled X thread have? DunSocial threads run from 2 to 25 posts. A single post is scheduled as a normal post instead. All posts are published as one connected reply chain at your chosen time. ### Can I add images to individual posts in a thread? Yes. Each post in the thread can carry its own media, & X accepts up to 4 items per post. Attach them to the posts that need a visual. ### Do thread posts count toward my monthly X post allowance? Yes. Every post in the thread counts, so a 10-post thread uses 10. DunSocial checks your remaining count when you schedule & tells you when it resets. ### Can I schedule threads on Bluesky or Threads too? Thread scheduling in DunSocial is for X. The other networks take single posts, which you can still schedule together from the same composer. ### Can I review before go-live? Yes. Every AI draft needs your confirmation before it publishes, & you can review the full thread before you schedule it. --- ## About this document This is the Markdown representation of https://www.dunsocial.com/blog/how-to-schedule-a-thread-on-x.
