X (Twitter)
Mentions, posts, and engagement on X (Twitter)
X (formerly Twitter) is the platform where most distributed work conversations, breaking news, and brand discovery still happen. Three triggers cover the listen side: New Mention (your handle is tagged), New Post from a Specific User (track a competitor or thought leader), New Post from Search (any query, including hashtags). Ten actions cover the act side: Create Tweet (with text, media, polls, replies), Delete Tweet, Like Tweet, Retweet, Follow User, plus the read endpoints for tweets, users, and your own profile. The integration uses X's OAuth 2.0 flow with PKCE. Note that X's API tier matters: triggers requiring streaming or search are Basic tier or higher (the free tier is read/post only for your own account). Common patterns: a New Mention with a question fires a workflow that classifies it with AI and DMs the support team in Slack if it's a support issue; or a New Post from Search on competitor mentions logs the post to a Notion competitive intel database with a sentiment score.
Workflows start when X (Twitter) does.
3 real-time triggers, each backed by a webhook subscription. Events arrive within seconds and you don't have to set up polling.
Fires when the authenticated user is mentioned in a tweet. Polls X every 15 minutes for new mentions (X no longer offers true realtime webhooks on the standard tiers).
Fires when a new tweet matches your X search query. Supports keywords, hashtags, and advanced search operators. Standard for brand monitoring or campaign tracking.
Fires when a specific user publishes a new tweet on X/Twitter. Use to mirror a public account into Slack, RSS, or your CMS.
Do anything X (Twitter) can do, from a workflow.
Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Post Tweet | Posts a new tweet to X/Twitter with up to 280 characters (more for X Premium). Supports reply, quote-tweet, polls, and media. Free API tier is heavily rate-limited. |
| Delete Tweet | Deletes a tweet by its ID on X/Twitter. The connected account must own the tweet. |
| Follow User | Follows a user on X/Twitter from the authenticated account. Subject to X's daily follow limits to prevent spam-like behavior. |
| Get My Profile | Returns the authenticated user's own Twitter/X profile (id, username, name, public metrics). Standard connection-check action. |
| Get Tweet | Gets a single tweet by its ID with full details (text, author, timestamps, public metrics, attachments). The standard read after a trigger fires with an ID. |
| Get User Profile | Returns an X/Twitter user profile by username with public metrics (followers, following, tweet count). Requires Basic API tier or higher. |
| Like Tweet | Likes a tweet on behalf of the authenticated X user. Subject to X's daily like limits. |
| Retweet | Retweets a tweet on behalf of the authenticated X user. Subject to X's daily retweet limits. |
| Search Tweets | Searches recent tweets matching a query, returning results from the last 7 days on standard tiers. Use for social listening, hashtag monitoring, or competitive intel. |
| Send Direct Message | Sends a direct message to an X/Twitter user. Recipient must either follow the sender or have DMs open to everyone. |

Three things worth knowing.
Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Every X (Twitter) field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
