Schedule Retweets, Quoted Tweets, Or Reply Tweets

Quoting or retweeting a tweet allows you to re-share someone else's tweet (or even your tweet) to your own X followers. You can retweet a tweet as-is or quote the tweet to embed the original post in your tweet before sending.

Quoting or retweeting your own tweets from Planner is also useful when you want to resurface earlier tweets or quickly reuse already-approved content.

You can schedule:

  • Quoted Tweets: Embed the original tweet in your tweet. You may add your own comments to the quoted tweet. Because the quote is a link, it reserves 23 characters of your post.

  • Reply Tweets: Add your own content in the caption box while referencing the original tweet. The reply is part of a threaded conversation on the X platform. Just like with regular tweets, you can include text, media, hashtags, and a poll. Once published, the reply will show under the original tweet on X. Unlike quotes, replies don’t reserve any characters from your post limit, allowing you the full character count (280 characters) to engage meaningfully.

  • Retweet: Retweet the tweet from your X account. The name of your X account is shown above the tweet as the reposter.
