Twitter (X) Connection

In this discussion, we'll go through how to set it up Twitter (X) with viaSocket.

1. Create a Twitter(X) Developer account:

• If you don't already have a Twitter Developer account, you need to set one up.

• It only takes a few minutes.

• Go to this page and sign up for a free account: https://developer.x.com

Once you signup, you will be asked to briefly describe your use case of Twitter's API.

You can use the below mentioned use cases for reference:

1. As a viaSocket user, I can automate my Twitter marketing using the Twitter Data API. With viaSocket, I can easily post tweets with media, search for users, and send direct messages without leaving the platform.

2. viaSocket’s "Create a Tweet with Media" action allows me to upload media files and attach them to tweets directly within the viaSocket interface.

3. The "Search Twitter Users" action in viaSocket helps me find users based on location, interests, or hashtags. Additionally, I can use the "Send Direct Message" action to contact users directly.

4. By integrating with the Twitter Data API, viaSocket simplifies social media marketing. I can schedule tweets, track engagement, and communicate with users to grow my presence on Twitter—all from within the viaSocket platform.

• Click Submit.

• Now you can access your twitter developer's portal.
