Twitter Brand Notifications in Discord
This app automatically sends you a notification in Discord when a new tweet
matching specified keywords or user accounts is created. As an example, installing
the app with a specified keyword of autocode and a specified account name of
@AutocodeHQ will send Discord notifications on new tweets containing either
the keyword autocode or tweets from the
Autocode Twitter account. Thus, a tweet like this:
Will result in a message in Discord like this:
It's great for keeping an eye on trends and mentions — we even use it
internally at Autocode! All you need to install it are Twitter account,
a Discord guild that you're an admin of, and your Autocode account.
How It Works
Immediately upon installation, if you linked your Discord bot correctly, you
will see a message like this in your chosen channel:
Once a minute, the Autocode scheduler
triggers the functions/events/scheduler/minutely.js endpoint and searches for
tweets matching the specified keywords and accounts using the search.tweets.list endpoint of the
twitter.tweets API.
This means that notifications may take up to a minute to appear.
To avoid duplicate alerts, the app uses the
utils.kv API to store the last tweet it
sent a notification for.
If you would like to change the search items after installing, open your
project's env.json file and change the BRAND_TWITTER_ACCOUNTS or BRAND_TWITTER_KEYWORDS environment variables.
Extending This App
If you want notifications on more complex queries, feel free to edit the code for this app after
installation by updating the q parameter to the twitter.tweets
API call. For more details on Twitter's query language, see
this page from their docs.
Thank You!
