Fun fact: X (formerly Twitter) still doesn’t let you schedule threads natively.
So how do you schedule Twitter threads in advance?
You need a social media scheduling tool that supports threads.
And the best thread scheduling tool? Publer. (No modesty here.)
With Publer, you can create and schedule threads for:
- X (Twitter)
- Threads App
- Mastodon
- Bluesky
…all at the same time, in a single view, in a composer that looks just like the X threads composer.
If you’ve been around for a while, you already know Publer has supported Twitter threads for years. But with our latest revamp, creating and scheduling threads across multiple platforms at once is now stupidly fast, simple, and efficient.
We like making things stupidly simple around here.
Think of creating and scheduling threads as a one-minute task.
Because… it pretty much is now.
Below, you can find a step-by-step guide.
How to schedule Twitter threads with Publer (step-by-step)
And schedule threads for Threads App, Mastodon, and Bluesky too.
Step 1: Sign up with Publer and connect your social accounts
(X/Twitter, Threads App, Mastodon, Bluesky, and more.)
Step 2: Go to the Create tab and select the accounts you want to post your thread to.
Step 3: Write the first post of your thread
Start strong. Craft an opening post that grabs attention and sets the tone. Add stylized text, links, images, or videos to hook readers instantly. Prefer a head start? Let Publer AI write it for you. For Bluesky and Mastodon, you can also select the language.
Step 4: Tap “Add to thread” to add more posts.
Develop your thread with additional posts. Add photos, videos, and links to provide context and depth. Drag and drop media to speed up creation, and easily reorder posts by moving them up or down without the need to rebuild anything. The interface automatically minimizes posts you’re not editing at the moment, so you can stay focused and distraction-free.
Optional: Use automatic split
Too lazy to create a thread? Let Publer automatically turn your text into a thread. You can split it naturally based on each platform’s character limits, or use Publer AI for a smart, optimized thread structure. It’s a quick way to repurpose content you’ve already shared elsewhere, while staying fully in control. You can review and refine everything before publishing.
Step 5: Customize per account if needed.
Need to adjust your thread for a specific account? Select the part of the thread you want to edit and customize it for that social account without affecting the others.
Step 6: Add conditions
Add time delays between the segments of the thread, or for the rest of the thread to go live based on the first post’s engagement or reach thresholds.
Step 7: Wrap the last post of the thread.
End with a strong conclusion. Wrap up your thread with a final post that reinforces your key message and leaves a lasting impression.
Step 8: Preview everything in real time for each account.
See exactly how your thread will look on each account before publishing. Make adjustments confidently with real-time previews.
Step 9: Schedule your thread.
Set the time and the date you want your thread to be published.
And you’re done. Truly.
You can follow the same steps to schedule your threads via mobile too, using the Publer app.
Quick timeline: How Publer became THE thread scheduling tool
Publer is a social media management platform that supports more than 13 social media channels and all of their features and post types. Thread scheduling is just one branch of that, but it’s one we’ve specialized in for years.
- 2018: Publer adds support for X/Twitter
- 2020: Thread scheduling for Twitter becomes available
- 2023: Publer supports Mastodon
- 2023: Threads App becomes fully supported
- 2024: Bluesky becomes part of the integration
- 2025: A brand new composer for threads (web & mobile)
- 2026: We make more improvements
Different platforms, different ecosystems, one shared format: threads.
Publer handled each of these individually, but the goal was always to unify the experience into something that actually makes sense for users.
Threads composer before vs now
Before this revamp, Publer’s thread scheduling worked reliably, but there were too many steps involved. Users had to manually enable thread creation for each platform, recreate threads multiple times, and switch screens to preview what they were building. It worked, but it wasn’t as smooth, simple, or “Publer-fast” as we like things to be around here.
Now, the composer has been redesigned from scratch to deliver a true cross-platform thread scheduling experience. Everything happens in a single view, instantly updated, with no repeating work.
The result is a threads composer that is faster, cleaner, easier to use, and just genuinely more enjoyable to work with.
Plus, we’ve added some very cool upgrades.
Smarter automations for your threads
Automatic split
One of the most powerful additions to Publer Threads is the Automatic Split. Write or paste your long-form content and instantly turn it into a structured thread.
You can split posts based on character limits for each social channel, or use Publer AI to intelligently break and optimize the content for better flow and readability.
It’s the fastest way to repurpose content into engaging threads, without rewriting everything from scratch.
Engagement-based triggers
One of the best additions in this update is the ability to automate how your thread unfolds. Before, you could only use time delays between parts of a thread. Now, you can do something way more strategic:
- Schedule the next part of your thread to publish only when your initial post engagement passes a certain threshold
- Or only when your reach hits a specific number
- Or combine triggers with time-based conditions
It’s a game-changer for maximizing visibility, encouraging conversation, and turning passive threads into dynamic storytelling sequences.
Customize per account if needed
If you want to tailor a post for a specific account, just tap that social account and make your edits. Want to reuse the same version elsewhere? Tap Copy (text, media, or/and conditions) and paste it into another account’s post. It brings over the text, links, and any media.
And if you make a change on one account that you want reflected across all of them, simply use Apply to All. Quick, clean, and consistent.
Wrap the thread
No longer just for X. You can now wrap your threads on Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky too.
When enabled, the final post automatically becomes your wrap-up, resurfacing the full thread at the top with a polished conclusion.
Perfect for highlighting your key takeaway, adding a link, or ending with a strong final note that drives more visibility.
Beyond threads: follow-up comments
Threads don’t exist on every platform, but follow-up comments do, and Publer has supported them for a while. What’s new is that you can now create up to five follow-up comments once and apply them across multiple platforms at the same time, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Telegram.
If you’re creating posts in bulk, you can apply the same comment to all the different posts too.
Everything happens in the same composer. No extra screens, no repeated typing, no copy-paste.
Just: select platforms, create post, add comment, done.
That’s it. It’s truly that easy.
Mobile threads & comments scheduling
You’re always on the move, we get it. If you ever need to schedule something last-minute, Publer has you covered on mobile too. Multi-platform threads? Check. Trigger-based automations? Check. Comments? Check. Download Publer app and keep creating from anywhere.
Why this revamp was overdue
Thread scheduling has become one of the main ways creators publish across platforms… yet our old composer wasn’t fully keeping up. You want to create once, see everything in one place, tweak only when needed, and publish everywhere. The jumping between screens and repeating steps had to go.
And the other big reason this revamp happened? You asked for it. A lot. Loudly. Repeatedly.
So we thought: early Christmas gift? Absolutely.
We sprinkled some magic (okay fine, our developers did), and here it is.
Only… it wasn’t that easy.
Behind the scenes: A “simple” UI built on very complicated chaos
The new threads composer may look clean, obvious, and effortless… but building it was anything but. This update went through sketches, rewrites, redesigns, and plenty of “okay, nope, back to the drawing board” moments. Just look at all the versions we tried before landing on the final one.
Two of the team led the whole thing: Sabri (UI/UX) and Ornaldo (developer).
From the design side, Sabri had one mission:
“Threads and follow-up comments should feel like a natural continuation of the post, not a separate tool. If it looks logical and feels natural, users will adopt it instantly.”
That’s why the new composer follows a clean, linear flow that follows the structure of creating threads in X, familiar enough that your brain goes, “Ah, yes, this makes sense.”
But simplicity is deceiving, and as Sabri perfectly put it:
“The UI had to stay extremely simple while the logic behind it was extremely complicated.”
Meanwhile, Ornaldo was busy making sure the entire thing actually worked across multiple platforms without collapsing into chaos. His biggest challenge was turning that simplicity into real functionality:
“The top priority was keeping everything simple so users never feel confused, while still giving them every functionality they need. The hardest part was handling multiple social accounts at once, with threads and follow-up comments, without repeating elements or losing context.”
After all the back-and-forth, we launched the new composer in beta for our top ambassadors, the group that always gets early access and never hesitates to give us brutally honest feedback. Their input shaped the final version you see today. What feels seamless on the surface is the result of a lot of hidden complexity and even more determination.
If you still have ideas (and we know you do), send them our way on the feedback page. We’re already planning Q1 2026, so the timing couldn’t be better.
We hope this revamp makes your publishing workflow smoother, calmer, and far more enjoyable, which is exactly the Publer mission. And yes, we have three more feature updates coming this month. Are we a little crazy? Probably. But we love it.
