Post automations

schedule_post, publish_now, edit_queued_post and the other posting actions take an optional automation object. Leave it out to use the account’s default automations (read them with scheduler.get_settings). When you send it, send the whole object: every block below, with enabled: false for the ones you don’t want.

{
  "autoRepost": {
    "enabled": true,
    "repostDelaysMinutes": [
      240
    ],
    "removeAfterMinutes": null
  },
  "autoPlug": {
    "enabled": true,
    "likesThreshold": 100,
    "templateId": null,
    "templateName": "Newsletter plug",
    "templateText": "If this was useful, I write about this every week.",
    "monitoringWindowMinutes": 4320
  },
  "autoDm": {
    "enabled": false,
    "replyKeyword": "guide",
    "requireRepost": false,
    "maxRecipients": 50,
    "batchMode": false,
    "messageTemplate": ""
  },
  "autoDelete": {
    "enabled": false,
    "afterMinutes": 1440,
    "viewsThreshold": 1000
  },
  "audience": "EVERYONE",
  "replySettings": "EVERYONE",
  "madeWithAi": false
}

This example reposts the post after 4 hours and adds a plug reply once it passes 100 likes within 3 days.
