# Use X with Nock

Connect your X account in **Settings → Apps → X**. Nock can post, reply, read a post, check your mentions, look up a profile, and search recent posts. Reading actions do not require a confirmation. Posting and replying require your explicit request and a **Post to X** confirmation card.

## Posting and replies

Say or type exactly what you want posted. Nock shows the text and destination in a card; review it and confirm before anything is sent. Nock removes web addresses and links from the outgoing X text, so they will not appear in the post or reply. If you want to include a link or media, open X and add it there.

Nock will not post because you made a remark, asked a question, or agreed to Nock's suggestion. Your own request must ask it to post or reply, and the card must still be confirmed. Routines can post only when the routine's saved instructions explicitly ask for posting.

## Plan and usage

X write actions are included on Nock Pro and higher. Nock Own does not include X writes; Free and Nock do not include them. X use is subject to Nock's fair-use protections, with more room available on higher plans. Check **Settings → Usage** for your account's current service status. Posts and other changes to your X account still require your explicit request and confirmation card.

Nock removes link text before sending an X action. See [Connected apps](/nock/app-connections), [Media and connected apps](/nock/connected-app-media), and [Usage and limits](/nock/usage-limits).
