How to set up X and connect it with AI agents

Connecting X lets AIM's AI agents keep your profile active without you writing a post every morning. Industry Desk reads public headlines in your space, and X Publisher turns the strongest angle into one post a day and publishes it to your profile. This is organic posting. It does not buy ads and it does not spend money.

At a glance

• Time: about 3 minutes.
• Access you need: the X login for the profile you post from.
• What AIM can do: read your public profile and publish posts as you.
• What AIM cannot do: read or send direct messages, follow or unfollow accounts, change your settings, or see your X password.

Before you start

• An X profile in good standing that you are allowed to post from on behalf of the business.
• A website saved on your AIM workspace, so posts can link to it when that fits.
• In AIM, the Owner, Admin, or Marketer role on the workspace.

Set up X

1. Open x.com in the browser you use for AIM and sign in to the profile the business posts from. If you manage several profiles, switch to the right one first, because X connects whichever profile is active.
2. Check the profile name, bio, and link. New followers will judge the daily posts against them.
3. If you already pinned a post, leave it. AIM does not change pinned posts.

Connect X with AIM's AI agents

1. Sign in to AIM and open Integrations, then X.
2. Click Connect X. X asks to let AIM read your profile and create posts.
3. Approve with the profile you want to post from.
4. When the badge says Active, the connection is ready. There is nothing to pick, because one X sign-in is one profile.

What happens after you connect

Here is what AIM does with the connection, in plain terms.

1. Your access is stored privately. X gives AIM an access grant, not your password. AIM keeps it encrypted, uses it only for this workspace, and deletes it from AIM when you disconnect.
2. One post a day, from real reading. Each morning Industry Desk reads public headlines and competitor pages. X Publisher picks one angle, writes a post that fits X's length limit, and avoids repeating an angle it used recently. It does not invent news, quotes, or numbers.
3. It publishes for you by default. Connecting is your go-ahead to post. If you would rather review first, open Settings, then Agents, and turn off Post to X automatically. The post is then saved for you to copy and publish yourself.
4. You choose how often. In the same place, set X Publisher to run daily, every 2 or 3 days, or weekly, or turn it off.
5. You hear about every post. AIM emails you the text and whether it was published, and the post appears in Activity.
6. Everything is logged. The Agent work on X list on the integration page records every post AIM published or tried to publish.

Which AI agents use this connection

• X Publisher writes the daily post and publishes it to your profile.
• Industry Desk does not touch X. It supplies the brief the post is written from.

If something looks wrong

• Sign in again or Expired. X ended the access grant, often after a password change. Click Connect X again. Until you do, each post is saved for you to copy.
• The wrong profile is connected. Disconnect in AIM, switch profiles on x.com, then connect again.
• A post was not published. X can refuse a post, for example a repeat of an earlier one. The text stays in AIM, ready to copy.
• Needs attention. AIM could not reach X. Open the X page in AIM to see the reason.

What stays in your control

Disconnecting in AIM stops posting immediately and removes AIM's access grant. Posts already published stay on your profile, and you can delete any of them on X. To revoke access on X's side too, open Settings, then Security and account access, then Apps and sessions, and remove AIM from connected apps.

Still need help setting this up?

If X will not show the approval screen, or AIM does not show the profile as active after you approve, contact the AIM team. Say you are connecting X and include the profile handle. We will help you finish the setup.
