Post Queued Google Sheets Rows to X

Post queued sheet rows to X every six hours and remove the posted rows.

Setup

Create a Google spreadsheet with a sheet named Tweets and a header named tweet. Add one post per row. Set the spreadsheet ID and sheet name in Choose the queue sheet, connect Google Sheets with edit access to the spreadsheet and connect X with permission to post. In n8n, edit the spreadsheet ID and sheet name in Choose the queue sheet, and connect the Google Sheets OAuth2 and X credentials. Enable one format.

Behavior

Every six hours at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 UTC, the workflow reads all populated rows and posts their tweet text to X in order. It posts the entire batch before deleting any rows. Empty rows are skipped; a populated row without tweet text stops the batch before posting. After all posts are confirmed, it rechecks the sheet and deletes the posted rows from bottom to top. A changed sheet stops before deletion. Avoid editing the queue or running overlapping copies while it runs; the recheck and deletions are not atomic. Deleting a row removes all of its columns.

An X failure leaves every row in place, although earlier posts may already exist. A deletion failure leaves earlier deletions in place. If a write outcome is uncertain, inspect X and the sheet before restarting; reruns may duplicate posts. Open Flow requires the collected sheet to fit its run limits. The n8n schedule uses a fixed second within the selected minute; Open Flow starts at the minute boundary. n8n OAuth2 may refresh credentials and retry a request once after an HTTP 401.

Changes to the source

Configure the private spreadsheet and credentials, and use UTC. The source’s no-filter read returns all populated rows despite its first-match option.
Check the full sheet after posting and delete the corresponding rows bottom-up; the source repeatedly deletes row 2 and can remove the wrong rows when the queue has gaps.
