How to create and schedule Twitter/X threads

A Twitter/X thread is a series of connected tweets posted as a chain. OpenTweet's thread editor lets you compose, preview, and schedule entire threads from a single interface.

Creating a thread

  1. In the dashboard composer, click the "Thread" toggle or the thread icon.
  2. Write your first tweet in the composer.
  3. Click "Add tweet" to add the next tweet in the thread.
  4. Continue adding tweets. Each tweet shows a character counter. You can add up to 15 tweets per thread.
  5. Reorder tweets by dragging them, or remove any tweet from the chain.

Scheduling a thread

Threads are scheduled as a single unit. Pick a date and time, and all tweets in the thread will be posted in sequence when the scheduled time arrives. The first tweet posts, then each subsequent tweet is posted as a reply to the previous one.

AI thread generation

In AI Studio, ask the AI to "write a thread about [topic]" and it will generate a complete multi-tweet thread. You can edit individual tweets, reorder them, or remove some before saving as a draft.

Thread best practices

  • Make the first tweet a strong hook — it determines whether people click to read the rest.
  • Keep each tweet self-contained enough to make sense on its own.
  • End with a call to action: "Follow for more," "Retweet to share," or a link.
  • Threads with 3–7 tweets tend to perform best for engagement.
