In n8n, add a Twitter/X node (or a workflow from Flowpast that already includes it). Click “Create new credential,” then sign in to your Twitter account and approve access. If your workflow uses a webhook, keep that URL handy for testing. Run the workflow once to confirm the connection, then switch it to active. Honestly, most issues come from using the wrong account or missing API access, so double-check that first.

A lot, and it’s mostly about speed and consistency. You can schedule tweets and threads from a content sheet, auto-share new blog posts, and alert your team when you’re mentioned. Many teams also route DMs into a shared queue, turn tweets into Notion tasks, or log engagement to Google Sheets for weekly reporting. Pair Twitter with OpenAI to draft replies or summarize threads, then send approvals to Slack before posting.

Yes. To post, read mentions, or access DMs through workflows, you’ll need a Twitter/X account connected in n8n, and some actions may require API access depending on your plan.

Common wins include monitoring brand mentions, auto-posting from a content calendar, and capturing leads when someone replies with “info” or “pricing.” Limitations usually come from API rules, rate limits, and permissions, especially around DMs and search. Some workflows may need retries or delays to avoid hitting limits, and not every data point is available on every API tier. Frankly, if you need heavy listening or historical search at scale, you may want to combine Twitter with a data provider or a scraping tool where allowed.
