Add X (Twitter) as a source

Add Twitter a source and collect content to your Flows

Updated over 3 weeks ago

X source types

Once you've connected your X account to Flowbox, you can start collecting content in three ways:

  • Mentions: collect public X media (images and videos) that @mentioned your connected X account.

  • Hashtag: collect public X media (images and videos) that include a specified hashtag.

  • Add a post feature: Collect one specific post by parsing the URL.

Adding X as a source

In order to avoid duplicates in the system, we recommend only connecting a source to your Collection Flow, commonly named "Master Flow", and then distributing the posts to other Flows.

  1. Go to 'Visual Marketing' > 'Flows'.

  2. Click on ‘Sources’ directly from the Flows page or use the top-right button within your Collection Flow.

  3. A popup box will open.

  4. Click "Add Source".

  5. Select "X/Twitter" and your source type (Hashtag or Mentions).

  6. Add the value for that type of source.

  7. Optional: Toggle on 'Require approval' to collect directly on the "Approved" tab all the content from this source.

  8. Click "Add".

From now on, all new X content related to this source will appear in the Inbox of this Collection Flow and can easily be approved and used for your Flows.

Want to fully explore the potential of X? You can add a specific X/Twitter post to your Flow or publish a post directly on X.
