Step 1: Set Up Your X Developer Account

  1. Sign Up for a Developer Account:
  • Go to the X Developer Portal and click "Sign Up."
  • Log in with your X account credentials and verify your email address if prompted.
  • Answer the questions about your intended use case (e.g., posting tweets, automating workflows) and agree to the terms of service.
  1. Create a Project and App:
  • After signing up, create a new Project in the Developer Portal. Projects are used to organize your apps and manage API access.
  • Add an App to your project. This app will generate the credentials needed to authenticate API requests.
  • During setup, select Read and Write permissions to allow posting tweets.
  1. Generate API Keys and Tokens:
  • Once your app is created, navigate to the "Keys and Tokens" tab to generate the following credentials:
  • API Key
  • API Key Secret
  • Access Token
  • Access Token Secret
  • Save these credentials securely (e.g., in a password manager). They will only be displayed once in the portal.
  1. Set Up Redirect URLs (Optional):
  • If your app requires OAuth 2.0 authentication, configure the Callback URL and Website URL in your app settings. Use https://www.make.com as the callback URL if prompted.

Step 2: Connect X.com to Make.com

  1. Log in to Make.com:
  • Go to Make.com and log in to your account.
  1. Create a New Scenario:
  • Click "Create a new scenario" and choose a trigger module (e.g., Google Sheets, RSS feed, or manual trigger) to start your automation.
  1. Add the X (Twitter) Module:
  • Search for the Twitter module in the app list and select it.
  • Choose the action Post a Tweet.
  1. Connect Your X Account:
  • Click "Add" to connect your X account.
  • Enter the following credentials from your X Developer Portal:
  • API Key
  • API Key Secret
  • Access Token
  • Access Token Secret
  • Click "Continue" to authorize the connection.

Step 3: Configure the Tweet Action

  1. Set Up the Tweet Content:
  • In the "Post a Tweet" module, configure the content of your tweet:
  • Text: Add the text you want to tweet. You can use dynamic data from previous modules (e.g., data from a Google Sheet or RSS feed).
  • Media (Optional): If you want to attach an image or video, upload it or provide a URL.
  1. Test the Scenario:
  • Run the scenario once to ensure it works as expected.
  • Check your X account to confirm that the tweet was posted successfully.

Step 4: Publish and Schedule Your Scenario

  1. Set the Scenario to Run Automatically:
  • Configure the trigger module to run at specific intervals (e.g., every hour, daily) or based on specific events (e.g., new data in a Google Sheet).
  1. Activate the Scenario:

  • Turn on the scenario to start posting tweets automatically.

Step 5: Monitor and Troubleshoot

  1. Monitor the Scenario:
  • Regularly check the scenario’s execution history in Make.com to ensure it’s running smoothly.
  • Look for any errors or failed executions.
  1. Troubleshoot Issues:
  • If the scenario fails, check the error message in Make.com.
  • Common issues include:
  • Incorrect API keys or tokens.
  • Exceeding X’s API rate limits.
  • Invalid tweet content (e.g., exceeding the character limit).

Additional Notes:

  • API Rate Limits: Be aware of X’s API rate limits to avoid getting blocked. You can check your usage in the X Developer Portal.
  • Security: Keep your API keys and tokens secure. Do not share them publicly.
  • Advanced Features: If you need more advanced features (e.g., posting threads, scheduling tweets), you may need to use additional modules or custom code.
