# Update post auto plug

> Enable or disable automatic replies when engagement thresholds (likes, reposts, replies, views) are met.

## Update post auto plug

Configures **auto plug** on an existing post: when enabled, replies automatically after configured engagement is reached. Disabled posts return `auto_plug: null` on [get](/api-reference/posts/get) / [list](/api-reference/posts/list).

Repeat scheduling is **not** handled here; use [`repeatable` fields on create/update](/api-reference/posts/create) or [update post](/api-reference/posts/update).

Requires bearer token with the **`posts`** ability. Returns the full post object (same shape as `GET /posts/{post}`).
