Auto repost and recycle your best social media posts

Example: a thread that sells quietly

A founder posts a thread on X about lessons from her first year. She sets auto plug to 100 likes with the reply "I write about this every week, join here" and a link. The thread does well overnight. When it passes 100 likes, the reply appears under it on its own, while people are still reading.

How an auto action runs

An auto action watches each new post on its channel. A few hours after the post goes live, Postozo checks its likes or reactions. If the number you set is reached, the action runs once: it reposts the post, or replies or comments with your message. If not, Postozo checks again later, a set number of times, and then stops. The table on this page lists the timing for each network, read from the code that runs it.

Auto repost and auto plug

Auto repost shares the post again from the same account once it does well, which shows it to people who missed it. Auto plug adds a reply or comment with your message, for example a link to your shop, under a post that is getting attention. Both run only once per post.

When an action cannot run

If the channel lost its connection, the action is marked with the reason and tries again at the next check. The Plugs page lists every post an action is watching, with waiting, done, not reached or the error. Reconnect the channel to fix connection errors.

Timing per network

When each auto action checks a post, and how many times. Read from the same code that runs them.

Limits and rules

Choosing the goal

Look at your last 20 posts on the channel and note the likes or reactions of a normal post. Set the goal a little above that, for example 1.5 times your normal. Then the action runs only on posts that did better than usual, which are the ones worth showing again. If it never runs, lower the goal; if it runs on every post, raise it.

2 examples

A software company on X: auto repost when a post reaches 40 likes, so its best tips reach people in other time zones. A shop on Bluesky: auto plug when a post reaches 25 likes, with the reply "The scarf in this photo is in our shop: example.com/scarf". Both run once per post, on their own, while the team works on next week.

Tips to get more from it

• Set the like goal a little above what your normal posts get, so the action runs only on posts that did well.
• Keep the auto plug reply short and useful, with 1 link. It reads as spam if it is longer than the post.
• Use auto repost on evergreen posts, not on news that will be old by the time the goal is reached.

Mistakes to avoid

• Setting the goal too low, so every post triggers it.
• Writing a long plug. 1 line with 1 link reads as help, not spam.
• Auto reposting time-bound news. Use it on evergreen posts.

Who it is for

• Creators add a link to their offer only on posts that already have attention. See Creators.
• Marketing teams give their best company posts a second life with auto repost. See Marketing teams.
• Founders promote a newsletter or product under posts that took off. See Small business.
