Configuring Evergreen Queue Settings in OpenTweet

Evergreen Queue settings let you fine-tune how aggressively OpenTweet recycles your content. The right settings depend on your pool size, posting frequency, and audience overlap between recycling cycles.

What settings are available for the Evergreen Queue?

The Settings tab in Evergreen Queue offers: Enable/Disable toggle — pause the entire queue without losing your pool. Posts per day — how many evergreen posts to publish daily (1-10 depending on plan). Posting times — specific times of day for evergreen publications (e.g., 8 AM and 5 PM). Default cooldown days — minimum days before the same post recycles. Per-post cooldown overrides are set on individual posts in the Pool tab.

How do I choose the right posts-per-day setting?

For small pools (under 15 posts): 1-2 per day prevents content from repeating too visibly. For medium pools (15-50 posts): 3-5 per day with a 14-day cooldown works well. For large pools (50+ posts): up to 10 per day (plan limit permitting) maintains variety. The goal is to never have the same tweet appear twice within any rolling 30-day window your average follower sees.

How do I choose the right cooldown period?

A 14-day cooldown is a good starting point — most followers won't notice a tweet recycled every two weeks. For highly engaged or growing audiences, extend to 21-30 days. For niche, evergreen content that ages well (tips, frameworks, lessons), 7-10 days can be acceptable with large enough pools. Test by checking your engagement on recycled posts versus first publications.

Can individual posts have different cooldowns?

Yes. In the Evergreen Queue Pool tab, click any post to open its settings. Set a custom cooldown that overrides the global default for that post. Use shorter cooldowns for your absolute best-performing tweets and longer cooldowns for niche content. Seasonal tweets (e.g., "Happy New Year") should have very long cooldowns so they only recycle annually.
