Connect your X account to Raysly

Connect your X account to Raysly and publish posts to it from the Social Studio. The X connection is in beta.

Before you start

• You need a Raysly account. If you do not have one yet, create a Raysly account first.
• Sign in to Raysly as the account owner or an admin. Only owners and admins can connect or disconnect an integration.
• The Social channels section in Integrations and the Social menu must be visible in your Raysly account. If you do not see them, the Social Studio is not switched on for your account.
• Have the X account you want to publish from, and be able to sign in to it.

Connect

1. Open the X (Twitter) tile. In Raysly open Settings → Integrations. Find the X (Twitter) tile with the search box or the Social channels filter, and click Connect on the tile. A details panel opens. Click Connect in the panel to go to X.
2. Approve Raysly on X. Sign in to X and approve. Raysly asks for permission to read your account details and posts, to write posts for you, to upload images for your posts, and to stay connected without asking again.
3. Check the connection. Raysly brings you back to Integrations. A green banner confirms the connection and points you to Settings → Social accounts. The tile says Connected and shows your name and @handle.
4. Publish to X. Open Social in the Raysly menu and click Design. Build your post. In the Publish to strip of the editor, keep X switched on and click Publish. The strip shows Connected as and the account name for each connected channel.
5. Follow your posts. Open Social and then History to see each post as Scheduled, Published or Failed.

What X posts need

• Text, an image, or both. A post can be up to 280 characters.
• X has no Stories, so only feed posts are published.

Your public social page

The first time you connect any social channel, Raysly turns on a public /social page on your site that lists your connected channels. Manage it under Settings → Social accounts: switch the page on or off, and hide a single channel from the /social page, the site footer and your email signatures.

Use your own X app (optional)

By default Connect uses Raysly's shared X app. Owners and admins can instead use their own X developer app: open the tile's details panel and click Use your own X app, then enter its client ID and client secret. Your app must be reviewed by X separately.

Disconnect

In Settings → Integrations open the X (Twitter) tile and click Disconnect. Raysly removes the X channel from your account and deletes the access token it stored. Posts already published stay on X.

Raysly's authorisation can stay listed in your X account settings. To cancel it there as well, remove the Raysly app from the apps you have connected.
