Auto Reposts

This page is for people configuring native same-network repost rules after publication.

Auto repost rules let a connected account use its network's native repost action after one of your posts publishes. OpenPost supports native reposts on X, Mastodon, Bluesky, and LinkedIn. The source and target must be on the same network. OpenPost does not copy the post to a different network.

Create a workspace rule

Open Settings → Workspace → Reposts, then select Add rule. A rule contains:

• source accounts whose published posts can trigger the rule; leaving the list on Any compatible source account covers every supported account in the workspace;
• one or more target accounts that should repost;
• a delay before the first evaluation;
• an evaluation window after which OpenPost stops waiting;
• optional minimum likes, comments, reposts, and views;
• Require all or Require any when more than one minimum is set;
• an optional stable-growth check that waits for the stored engagement totals to remain unchanged for several checks.

Save the page to activate the rules. Disabled rules remain saved but do not create candidates for newly published posts.

How engagement gates work

The worker reads the latest saved publication analytics. Opening Settings or the composer does not call a social network.

A minimum of 0 disables that metric. A provider-reported zero is a real value. A missing metric is not treated as zero and cannot pass an enabled gate. This distinction prevents a post from being reposted merely because its network does not report the selected number.

After the delay, OpenPost checks again on a durable job. If the gates have not passed, it keeps checking until the evaluation window ends. Restarting the server does not lose the candidate. A native repost write runs once; an ambiguous network timeout is recorded as failed instead of being retried and risking a duplicate action.

Each attempt counts toward the workspace's monthly provider-write limit. If that limit is reached, OpenPost skips the repost and records the reason without calling the network.

Override one post

Open Repost settings in the publication composer.

• Use workspace rules applies every matching enabled rule.
• Do not repost disables automation for that post.
• Custom replaces workspace rules with the target accounts, timing, and engagement gates selected in the composer.

The override is part of the saved publication, so it survives draft edits, scheduling, OpenPost Image Editor round trips, and restarts.

Use an account from another workspace

Workspace admins can select a target account from another workspace they also administer. Saving creates a scoped repost grant. The account token stays encrypted under its owning workspace and is never copied into the source workspace.

Admins of the target workspace can revoke the grant from Settings → Workspace → Reposts. Revocation stops future reposts through that account. It does not remove reposts already published on the network.
