What Blaze does here

Blaze makes and schedules image and video posts to X. Videos run 1 to 140 seconds. When you post the same thing to several networks, the caption has to fit X's 280 characters.

To track replies and mentions, see X monitoring tools.

How to schedule with Blaze

  1. Start a 7-day free trial (no credit card) and connect your account.
  2. Ask Blaze for posts, or upload your own. It writes and designs them in your brand.
  3. Pick dates on the calendar, or drag posts to new days. Each post shows draft, scheduled or posted.
  4. Check how they did in the Insights tab (7-day and 30-day highlights, history up to a year).

You can also do all of this from Claude, ChatGPT or Codex with the Blaze MCP server. For every tool side by side, see the social media scheduler comparison.
