<div data-accordion="">
<h4>Team Check-in</h4>
Team Check-in is a type of scheduled post with fixed content, including a thread subject and a post. 
This post is handy if you need to post the same thread at regular intervals, such as if you want your team to share their goals every Monday, or if you want to collect feedback from your team on a specific date every month.

<h2>Action buttons</h2>
You also have the option to create and add an action button to one of your scheduled posts. 
Action buttons perform a specific action set by you, such as adding a template, a link, or a piece of text to your post.
You have two options when creating an action button:
<div data-accordion="">
<h4>Prefill reply</h4>
This option enables you to create a button with a set piece of text. This means that when you click the button, the associated text will automatically get added in the Twist composer.
When choosing this option you need to provide the following:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
Button text: A title for the button.</li>
<li aria-level="1">
Reply to prefill: The text that will populate the composer when the button is clicked.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Open URL</h4>
This option enables you to create a button that will open a specific link in a new browser window.
When choosing this option you need to provide the following:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
Button text: A title for the button.</li>
<li aria-level="1">
URL to open: The URL that will open when the button is clicked.</li>
</ul>
<div class="box-tip">

<h4 id="h_01FYY2B3M37C39ZY318VMKX6DY">What are content URL reports?</h4>
URL Content Reports are a way for integrations like Scheduled Threads to retrieve real content from an external source via a POST request and send it into Twist.
During the integration setup, the user provides a Content URL, which will be called based on the configuration of the integration (e.g., every week). The data the remote URL returns will then be posted into Twist.
When combined with the Schedule Threads feature, it can automatically post updates from external sources into Twist.
The URL endpoints the user defines can return two types of content:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">JSON</li>
<li aria-level="1">Plain text</li>
</ul>
JSON
If the remote endpoint response contains the Content-type: application/JSON header, Twist will interpret the response as JSON. Two fields are supported:
title - Twist will use this field for the title of the newly created thread.
content - Twist will use this field for the content of the newly created thread. The content field supports Markdown.
<div class="box-note">Note that if you can use &lt;date&gt; in the title, and this will be converted it to the current date.</div>
Plain Text
If the remote endpoint response doesn't contain the Content-type: application/JSON header, Twist will interpret it as plaintext content for a new thread. In this scenario, Markdown is also supported.
