How to schedule Twitter threads

To create and schedule Twitter Threads with Publer:


  • Go to the Create page.
  • Select a Twitter account and start composing a new tweet.


You can add up to 4 photos, format the text as bold or italic, generate hashtag suggestions, or add media files. You can also prepare bulk content quickly by using the built in Spintax Generator which creates new content based on the keywords you provide.


  • Click +Add Thread to start building your thread.



  • If you want to add a delay for the first follow up tweet, click the three dots on the left and select Add Conditions.
  • You can add conditions to each thread the same way.



  • In the pop up, use the Is older than condition to set the delay for the next tweet. This is the updated name for the former Delay option.



  • (OPTIONAL) You can set follow up tweets to post automatically based on the performance of the previous tweet. For example, a follow up tweet can trigger when the previous tweet reaches the engagement or reach values you set.


NOTE: Follow up tweets can be triggered by a specific delay or by performance. Conditions can be based on Time (Is older than), Reach, and Engagements.



  • You can also choose to Copy, Wrap, or Delete a thread.
  • When wrapping it, you can preview how it will appear in the Live Post preview.



  • If you don’t like the wrapped view, you can unwrap it anytime.



  • To keep adding tweets to your thread, click +Add thread under the previous tweet.



  • The second follow up tweet can be scheduled based on the previous tweet if the chosen condition is enabled.
  • To add media, click Click to upload media and choose the files you want to attach.



NOTE: You can set conditions for additional follow up tweets. Performance based conditions apply only to the first follow up tweet.


  • Once you are done creating the follow up tweets and your thread is ready, proceed with scheduling the post.


NOTE: Threads and follow up tweets do not carry over automatically when reusing posts from drafts, scheduled content, or previously published posts. You will need to add them manually each time.


TIP: You can set default follow up comments or threads for all your posts by following this guide.


Keep in mind:


  • You can create up to 25 tweets per thread.
  • Each follow up tweet supports text formatting tools, emojis, hashtag suggestions, and media files.
  • Each follow up tweet has a 280 character limit. Publer will highlight any text that exceeds this limit.
  • Each follow up tweet will always post after the previous one. For example, you cannot schedule the third tweet of a thread before the second one.
