X (Twitter) Connection
Connect to X (formerly Twitter) using API credentials to post tweets from your workflows.
Configuration
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Consumer Key | Your X app's Consumer Key (found under OAuth 1.0 Keys) | Yes |
| Consumer Secret | Your X app's Consumer Secret (found under OAuth 1.0 Keys) | Yes |
| Access Token | OAuth 1.0a Access Token for your account | Yes |
| Access Token Secret | OAuth 1.0a Access Token Secret for your account | Yes |
Getting Your API Credentials
- Go to the X Developer Portal
- Sign up for a Free developer account if you don't have one
- Create a new Project and App
- In your app settings, go to Keys and tokens
- Under OAuth 1.0 Keys, copy the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret
- Before generating access tokens, go to your app's Settings tab and under User authentication settings click Set up — enable Read and Write permissions
- Back in Keys and tokens, under the Access Token section, click Generate to create an Access Token and Secret with read and write permissions
- Copy all four values into your connection configuration
WARNING
The Bearer Token (under App-Only Authentication) is not used for this connection. You need the OAuth 1.0 credentials listed above.
Free Tier Limits
The X free tier includes:
- Post tweets only (no reading timelines or searching)
- 1,500 tweets per month per app
- 1 app per developer account
Usage
Once created, this connection becomes available in:
- X Post Tweet — post tweets to your X account
TIP
Make sure your app has Read and Write permissions enabled in the X Developer Portal before generating your Access Token. If you generated the token with Read-only permissions, you'll need to regenerate it after updating permissions.
