Team engagements

Team engagements let your team like, comment, and repost a scheduled post from their connected accounts right after it publishes. Configure the engagements on the post once, and Ordinal fires them from each teammate’s connected profile at the delay you set.

​

Engagement types

​

Platform support

Not all platforms support every engagement type due to API limitations: For platform-specific details, see each channel’s documentation.

​

X (Twitter) eligibility

Because of X API restrictions, only certain accounts can comment or repost on a tweet:

• The posting account is always eligible.
• Any other connected X account must be @mentioned in the text of the first tweet to be eligible.

If a connected X account isn’t @mentioned, it’s disabled in the Team Comment and Team Repost profile pickers. Add the account’s @handle to the first tweet to unlock it. This rule is enforced everywhere engagements are configured, including the post editor, the public API, and MCP tools.

​

Setting up team engagements

1. Open a post and scroll to the Team Engagements section.
2. Select the engagement type(s) you want to add (Like, Comment, or Repost).
3. Select which connected account(s) should perform the action.
4. For comments and reposts, write the content.
5. Set a delay for each engagement using the delay input (see Timing).
6. Engagements fire from each connected profile when the post publishes.

​

Timing

Every engagement uses a delay you set in the numeric delay input. Enter a number, then choose mins or hr for the unit. The input also suggests common presets and a Recently used list of delays you’ve recently saved in this workspace.

• Team Likes — the value sets the window over which likes trickle in after the post publishes. The first like fires near the start of that window; the rest randomize across it. Minimum is 10 minutes.
• Team Comment and Team Repost — the value sets how long after publish the comment or repost fires. Minimum is 0 (immediate).

The maximum delay for any engagement is 24 hours. Values outside the allowed range are rejected when you save the post.

​

Best practices

• Use responsibly - A few strategic engagements complement genuine activity. Don’t overdo it.
• Vary your patterns - Avoid identical timing or comments on every post.
• Add value with comments - Generic “Great post!” comments don’t help. Add context, a question, or a useful link.
