X (Twitter) – Connection and settings

Estimated reading time: 6 min
X twitter banner

X, formerly Twitter, is one of the largest social media platforms where users can share short messages, images, and videos known as “tweets” (officially called “posts”) to interact with their followers.

X integration with Wiresk allows businesses to manage their content directly through the platform, enhancing engagement and communication. With this integration, users can create and publish tweets, delete tweets, and even retrieve information about your own X account.

A connection to your X account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

This guide explains how to set up a connection in “My apps” section, which is essentially the same process as creating one on-the-go.

  • Register to X developer Portal.
  • Access to your dashboard and click on the “+ Add App” button. (or select your project app auto generated).

The main section shows a "Projects" area with a default project title. A prominent black "+ Add App" button is outlined in red, allowing users to create a new app within the project.
  • On the App creation page, name your app.

The layout is minimalistic with a sidebar on the left labeled “My Apps” and a “+ Create” button.

Voila! Your X app connection is ready. You can now use it to build your Flows.

Now that your X is linked to Wiresk, you’re ready to start building Flows. 

Simple steps to create a Flow ↓
  • Select your Group, then on the Flow management screen click on “Create Flow”.

Select the Trigger

It’s important to note that X integration does not currently include any Triggers.
Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • On the new screen, name the Flow that you want to create.
  • Add your Triggers by clicking on the Wiresk 2025 05 02 at 15.00.40 X (Twitter) - Connection and settings next to “All Triggers”.
  • On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

  • Select your preferred Trigger on the next screen and customize its settings.

As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.

Add a Method to your Flow

The Method will perform a specific task on a particular app or service you’ve connected to Wiresk like get info or send emails.

You can add at least 1 or multiple Methods for complex Flows (a maximum of 255 Methods).
  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) next to the Trigger icon.

  • Search or scroll down to select your apps Methods, then configure it settings. For X, refer to the Methods list and settings below.

Add Wiresk Tools to your Flow

If you want to build a complex Flow, Wiresk offers a selection of tools at your disposal. Refer to Wiresk’s Tools

To add Tools in your Flow, Follow the same step as adding the Methods.

  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) then just click on the “Tool” tab and select the Tool that you want to add.
You can refer to “How to Create a Flow” tutorial for more detailed instructions, including step-by-step guidance on mapping and configuration.

Place ID: Place being attached to the Tweet for geo location.

How to Get a Place ID for Geo Localization:

  1. Use Twitter’s GET /2/tweets/search/recent or GET /2/tweets/search/all (Paid plan). Search tweets with a location filter, then extract the place_id from the matching tweet’s geo object.
  2. Use Twitter’s Deprecated v1.1 geo/search endpoint (Still works, but limited). This endpoint lets you search for places and returns their place_id.

Poll:

Duration of the poll in minutes*: If you post a poll, specify how long in minutes it will accept votes. Required range: 5 <= x <= 10080

Options*: Choices for the poll. Option limit to 2 - 4 elements.

  • Value*: What the options contain.

⚠️ Wiresk’s current  “Create Tweet” Method (API v2) does not yet support direct media upload. To get a media ID, you must first upload the media to Twitter using the Media Upload API, which returns the media_id. This process requires using Twitter API v1.1, which is only available with a paid plan.

Once your Flow is configured, you can test or automate it using the Run panel or by managing Triggers from the Flow Management screen.

  • Run Flow: Manually runs the Flow once using sample data. Ideal for testing logic and field mapping. See How to Run a Flow.
  • Run Scheduler: Force-runs the Trigger immediately using live input. This bypasses the recurrence rule and is useful for verifying real data mapping. Learn more in Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

From the Trigger management panel (clock icon), you can:

  • Activate or deactivate Triggers
  • Force-run the scheduler
  • Copy Routing Keys (for HTTP Triggers)

If your Flow uses a Webhook Trigger, it runs automatically on each incoming webhook—no scheduler required. It remains active until you manually deactivate it.
