X (Formerly Twitter) consultants

Q: What can I actually do with the X node in n8n?

You can create tweets (post text, attach media), search for recent tweets by keyword or hashtag, retrieve a user's timeline, like and retweet posts, send and read direct messages, and look up user profiles. These operations connect to the X API v2 endpoints.

Q: What X API access level do I need?

You need an X Developer account with at least Basic access (paid tier) for most automation use cases. The free tier has very limited tweet creation allowances. The Basic tier supports posting, searching, and reading timelines with reasonable rate limits for business automation. You configure the OAuth 2.0 credentials in n8n.

Q: Can I schedule tweets using n8n?

Yes. You set up a workflow with a Schedule Trigger that fires at your desired posting times, pulls content from a data source (Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, or a CMS), and uses the X node to create the tweet. This gives you a fully automated posting schedule without using a third-party scheduling tool.

Q: Can I monitor brand mentions and respond automatically?

You can use a scheduled search workflow that queries X for your brand name or relevant keywords. The results feed into your workflow where you can filter by sentiment, log mentions to a spreadsheet or CRM, and send notifications to your team. Fully automated replies are possible but should be used carefully to avoid coming across as a bot.

Q: How do I handle X API rate limits in n8n?

X enforces strict rate limits on every endpoint. In n8n, you can use Wait nodes to space out requests and Split In Batches to process results in chunks. If a rate limit error occurs, configure an error handler to wait and retry. Our team designs workflows that respect these limits to avoid account suspension.

Q: Does Osher build social media automation?

Yes. We build n8n workflows that automate posting, mention monitoring, engagement tracking, and lead capture from X. A typical project connects X to a client's CRM so that social interactions with potential customers are logged and assigned automatically. Our business automation team handles the API setup, credential configuration, and workflow design.

We can help you automate your business with X (Formerly Twitter) and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing X (Formerly Twitter).

About X (Formerly Twitter)

The X (formerly Twitter) node in n8n lets you post tweets, search for tweets, manage direct messages, and interact with the X API from inside your automation workflows. You can use it to automate social media posting, monitor brand mentions, track hashtags, and pull engagement data into your reporting systems.

For businesses, the biggest challenge with X is consistency. Posting regularly, responding to mentions promptly, and tracking what people say about your brand requires constant attention. The n8n X node automates the repetitive parts: schedule posts from a content calendar, route mentions to your support team, log engagement metrics in a spreadsheet, or trigger alerts when specific keywords appear.

The node supports the X API v2 and requires OAuth 2.0 authentication through a developer account. You can create tweets (with text, media, and polls), search recent tweets by keyword or hashtag, retrieve user timelines, and manage direct messages. Rate limits apply based on your X API access tier.

At Osher, we build X automation workflows for marketing teams and customer support operations. Our sales automation team connects X to CRMs so that leads generated from social interactions are captured automatically. Our AI agent development team builds sentiment analysis workflows that monitor brand mentions on X and categorise them for response prioritisation.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement X (Formerly Twitter)

As X (Formerly Twitter) consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate X (Formerly Twitter) with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Process Audit

We review your current X/Twitter usage: posting frequency, who manages the account, how mentions are monitored, and whether social data feeds into your CRM or reporting tools. This identifies the manual social media tasks that automation can handle.

Step 2

Identify Automation Opportunities

From the audit, we identify automatable tasks: scheduled posting from a content calendar, mention monitoring with team notifications, engagement metric logging, lead capture from DMs or mentions, and hashtag tracking for campaigns. Each is evaluated against X API rate limits and access tier constraints.

Step 3

Design Workflows

We design n8n workflows for each X automation: posting workflows with content sources and scheduling logic, monitoring workflows with search queries and notification routing, and reporting workflows that aggregate engagement data. We factor in rate limits and error handling for each design.

Step 4

Implementation

We set up the X Developer account credentials (OAuth 2.0) in n8n, build each workflow, configure the search queries and posting logic, and connect downstream systems (CRM, Slack, Google Sheets). We test with real API calls to verify posting, searching, and data retrieval work correctly.

Step 5

Quality Assurance Review

We test each workflow against X API responses, including edge cases like rate limit errors, empty search results, media upload failures, and authentication expiry. We verify that scheduled posts publish at the correct times and that monitoring workflows capture all relevant mentions.

Step 6

Support and Maintenance

We monitor workflows for API changes (X updates its API frequently), credential expiry, and rate limit issues. When X modifies its API endpoints or authentication requirements, we update the n8n configuration. We also adjust search queries and posting schedules as your social media strategy evolves.
