#### What happens next:

### Good to know:

* You must select an active brand. You cannot create a thread task for an archived brand.
* The subreddit URL must be valid.
* Tags can't be changed or assigned once the task has been submitted.
* The subreddit must allow direct posting. Some subreddits are restricted, inactive, or require moderator approval.
* Some subreddits only allow link posts. If so, you must add a link URL.
* Some subreddits only allow text posts. If so, image uploads are not allowed.
* You can add text, an image, or a link, but you cannot use both an image and a link in the same task.
* CrowdReply blocks duplicate thread tasks with the same title in the same subreddit.
* Scheduled tasks must be set for a future date and time.

#### Content rules:

* Use plain text or markdown.
