Here's what we'll cover

How a Taskade project is set up and used together with the automation.
Create the Automation
Create the Automation
Create a trigger and click on Task Due, select a Taskade project where the content for each post is.
Add the actions Create Post X(Twitter) and Update Custom Fields.
In the Create Post X(Twitter) action, connect your X(Twitter) account and reference the Task Content from the Task Due trigger by using the @ symbol.
In the Update Custom Fields action, reference the Task ID variable from the Task Due trigger using the @ symbol.
Click on Add Fields and add the Status field, set it to Posted. This is so that we can keep track of when something has already been posted to X(Twitter).
Finally activate the automation by toggling it on the top right.
Using the Automation
Using the Automation
To see the automation in action, navigate to the Taskade project where your post content is in.
The example project provided is using the Table View and has a Custom Field added called Status. The content of each task is the content of the post. The Due Date of the task will be the desired time and date you want to schedule the post.
Set a Due Date and time to any of the tasks in the project and it will automatically post it when it is due.
