Available templates
X offers three Flow templates. Each template pairs a trigger with the automatic action Metricool performs.
Template | Trigger | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Give your posts a second life (Auto Repost + Unpost) | Your own post | Reposts your post after a delay, then removes the repost after another delay |
Reply to DMs instantly (Auto DM) | Someone sends you a DM | Sends an automatic reply to the DM, with an optional delay |
Turn replies into leads (Comment to DM) | Someone replies to your post with a keyword | They automatically get your link by DM |
Give your posts a second life (Auto Repost + Unpost)
The Flow works on your own posts. It reposts a post after a delay you choose, then deletes the repost after another delay.
Reply to DMs instantly (Auto DM)
When a DM arrives, Metricool sends an automatic response, with an optional delay.
Turn replies into leads (Comment to DM)
When someone replies to your post with a keyword, they automatically get your link by DM.
When you pick an already published post for the trigger, the preview card leads with the post's text.
