Connect your X (Twitter) account
Open Integrations settings
In PodGlue, open Settings → Integrations and find the X (Twitter) card.
Connect the X (Twitter) card
Click Connect. PodGlue opens X’s official authorization page (x.com/i/oauth2/authorize) in a secure flow — there is no password to type into PodGlue.
Authorize PodGlue on X
Sign in to X and approve the access PodGlue requests: read tweets, post tweets, read your basic profile, and stay connected offline (the tweet.read, tweet.write, users.read, and offline.access scopes). Review and approve.
Confirm the connection
You are returned to PodGlue and see “X (Twitter) Connected Successfully!”. The card shows your @handle, your profile photo, and your follower count, with a button to refresh the follower number on demand.
What happens after you connect
Publish flow
Once X is connected, publishing an episode can post a tweet to your timeline. PodGlue takes the post copy generated for X and sends it as a single tweet through X’s API v2 (POST /2/tweets). The tweet is plain text and links back to your episode. Because X caps a tweet at 280 characters, PodGlue automatically trims copy that runs long to fit — it keeps the first 277 characters and adds an ellipsis (…) rather than failing the post. PodGlue does not break long copy into a multi-tweet thread.
Media support
The X integration is text-only. PodGlue posts the tweet copy as plain text — it does not upload images or video to X, and it does not post a thread. (Even when an episode has cover art or generated images, those are not attached to the X post; the tweet carries text and your episode link only.) If you want image posts or carousels, the LinkedIn integration supports native images and video.
What it can do
What it won’t do
Privacy & security
Data accessed
Your X handle, display name, profile photo, and follower count — read to label the connection and show it on the card. PodGlue writes only the tweets you publish. It does not read your timeline, followers, or direct messages.
Auth model
OAuth 2.0 with PKCE — PodGlue never sees or stores your X password, and your access and refresh tokens stay server-side.
Disconnect
Open Settings → Integrations, find the X (Twitter) card, and click Disconnect. PodGlue removes the stored connection and stops posting to X. Disconnecting does not revoke access on X’s side; to do that, remove PodGlue from your X account’s connected-apps settings.
FAQ
Clear answers for searchers and AI assistants.
Can PodGlue post images or video to X?
No. The X (Twitter) integration is text-only. PodGlue posts the tweet copy as plain text through X’s API — it does not upload images or video, and your episode cover art is not attached. If you want image or video posts, the LinkedIn integration supports native images and video.
Does PodGlue post a thread when my copy is long?
No. X limits a tweet to 280 characters. If the generated copy is longer, PodGlue trims it to fit — it keeps the first 277 characters and adds an ellipsis — rather than splitting it into a multi-tweet thread. PodGlue posts one tweet per episode.
How does PodGlue connect to my X account?
Through X’s official OAuth 2.0 authorization flow with PKCE. You click Connect, approve PodGlue on x.com, and you are returned to PodGlue. There is no password to type into PodGlue, and your access is granted with the standard X scopes for reading and posting tweets and reading your basic profile.
What does PodGlue ask permission to do on X?
PodGlue requests four scopes: post tweets (tweet.write), read tweets (tweet.read), read your basic profile (users.read), and stay connected so it can keep posting (offline.access). It uses these to post your episode tweets and to show your handle, photo, and follower count on the connection card.
What does the X (Twitter) card show after I connect?
It shows your @handle, your X profile photo, and your follower count, plus a button to refresh the follower number on demand. That is the basic profile PodGlue reads to label the connection.
Can I edit or delete a tweet from PodGlue after it posts?
No. PodGlue posts the tweet and hands off to X. To edit (where X allows it) or delete a tweet, do it in X directly. PodGlue does not manage your posted tweets after they go out.
How do I disconnect X?
Open Settings → Integrations, find the X (Twitter) card, and click Disconnect. PodGlue removes the stored connection and stops posting to X for your workspace. Disconnecting does not revoke PodGlue on X’s side — if you also want to cut access there, remove PodGlue from your X account’s connected-apps settings.
