Getting started with Twitter

To use any of the above modules, you need to connect your Twitter account to Integromat. If you do not have a Twitter account yet, you can create one at Twitter.com.

Connecting the Twitter service to Integromat

To connect your Twitter account to Integromat, follow the general instructions for Connecting to services. After you click the Continue button, Integromat will redirect you to the Twitter.com website where you will be prompted to grant Integromat access to your account:

Here, allow access by clicking the Authorize App button. Afterwards, you will be redirected back to the Integromat administration page. Now, you can continue creating your scenario.

Access to earlier tweets and messages

The Twitter triggers can only process a limited number of the most recent tweets and messages.

• The Watch tweets and Watch retweets triggers can process up to 3,200 of the most recent tweets.
• The Watch messages and Watch favorite tweets triggers can process up to 200 of the most recent tweets.
• The trigger Watch mentions can process up to 800 of the most recent tweets.
• The search module Search tweets allows to search for tweets that are up to one week old.

Earlier tweets and messages are ignored.

Search for specific Tweets

The Search Tweets action allows you to search for Tweets that match given criteria. For detailed information on Search possibilities, click on the Operators link in the Twitter Help. You can get a maximum of the last 100 tweets. The search results are limited to Tweets from the past 7 days.

Common problems

Processing is terminated with a 429: Rate limit exceeded error

Twitter allows every user to send a limited number of requests per 15- minute interval from his/her account. If a user exceeds this limit, Twitter returns a 429 Rate limit exceeded error. If this happens, wait until the quota is renewed and run your scenario again.

The number of requests made when executing a scenario differs depending on the trigger used and the number of Tweets Integromat has to go through.
