# X Post

> Post text of up to 280 characters to your connected X account, with an optional image or video attached, as the last step of a Nodaro workflow.

Source: https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/publish/x-post

The **X Post** node posts text to your connected X account, formerly Twitter, with an optional image or video attached. Use it at the end of a workflow to share a generated result with a short caption.

- Found in: Publish › Platforms
- Output: none
- API type: `x-post`

## When to use it
- Share a generated image or a short video on X.
- Post on a schedule, with a [Schedule Trigger](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/automate/schedule-trigger) at the start of the workflow.
- Send the same result to several networks at once, next to [LinkedIn Post](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/publish/linkedin-post) or [Facebook Post](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/publish/facebook-post).

## Quick start
### Connect X

Open the **Integrations** page and connect your X account.

### Add the node

Press Tab on the canvas and choose **Publish › Platforms › X Post**.

### Connect the media and write the text

Connect an image or a video to the node's input, if you want one. In the settings panel, choose the **Account** and type the post in **Caption**.

### Run it

Click **Run** to post.

Workflow: An image and a short text from a Prompt node are posted together to X.

- Generate Image → X Post
- Prompt → X Post

## Inputs
The node has one input on its left edge. It accepts text, an image or a video. Connected text becomes the text of the post.

## Settings
| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Account** | The connected X account to post to. |
| **Caption** | The text of the post, up to 280 characters. A counter shows how many you have used. |

X Post has one kind of post, text with optional media, so the node shows no **Action** menu.

## Sizes and limits

| Format | Size in pixels | Longest video |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Image, landscape | 1200 × 675 | Not a video |
| Image, square | 1080 × 1080 | Not a video |
| Video | 1920 × 1080 | 140 seconds |

The 280-character limit applies to the text only. Images and videos do not count.

## Credits
Each post costs 10 credits. The node that made the image or video charges for it separately.

## Tips
- **Write short on purpose.** Use a [Prompt](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/automate/prompt) node to shorten a longer text so that it fits the limit.
- **Use high-contrast images.** Images in the X feed are small, so choose pictures that stay readable at small sizes.
- **Keep videos short.** Stay under 140 seconds for the best playback.

## Frequently asked questions

### How long can an X post be?

The text can have up to 280 characters. Attached images and videos do not count toward the limit.

### Can I attach a video to an X post?

Yes. Connect a video to the node's input. Keep videos under 140 seconds, at 1920 × 1080 for landscape.

### How do I keep the text under 280 characters?

Connect a Prompt node that writes a short version of your text, and ask it for fewer than 280 characters. The Caption field also counts the characters as you type.

### How much does an X post cost?

Each post costs 10 credits. The attached image or video is paid for by the node that made it.
