[Easy Setup] How to Automatically Notify Slack with Data from X (Twitter)

Let's Create an Automated Flow to Notify Slack with Data from X (Twitter)

Let's get started by creating a flow that automatically notifies Slack with data from X (Twitter)!
We'll be using Yoom to proceed with the setup without any coding.
If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please issue one from the registration form here.

[What is Yoom]

This time, we will create a flow bot that "posts on X (Twitter) at a specified schedule and notifies Slack"!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.

• Register My Apps for X (Twitter) and Slack
• Copy the template
• Set up the schedule trigger and configure actions for X (Twitter) and Slack
• Set the trigger to ON and complete the preparation for flow operation

Step 1: Register My Apps on X (Twitter) and Slack

As a preliminary step, let's link Yoom with the app.

Steps to Register My App on X (Twitter)

First, let's register X (Twitter) as my app.
After logging into Yoom, select My Apps and click on "+ Add".

‍

‍

Use the search box in the app list and click on X (Twitter).

‍

‍

Check the account information to be linked and click on App Approval.

‍

‍

Now, the registration of My App on X (Twitter) is complete.

Steps to Register My App on Slack

Next, let's register My App on Slack.
As before, click on My Apps → "+ Add".

‍

‍

Use the search box in the app list and select Slack.

‍

‍

Select the channel to post to from the dropdown and click "Allow".

‍

‍

Now, the registration of My App on Slack is complete.

Step 2: Copy the Template

Next, let's copy the template from the Yoom site!
Besides using templates, you can also create a flowbot from scratch.
Here, we will introduce how to use a template that can be set up more easily!

Please click "Try it".

Please select "OK".

‍

‍

Now you have copied the template.
The copied template is saved in My Projects.

‍

Step 3: Set the Schedule Trigger

Next, let's proceed to the Flowbot settings!
Click "When the specified schedule is reached" in the template you just copied.

‍

‍

Specify Execution Time

This is set when copied, but let's confirm the details.
You can change the title, schedule settings, and time, so modify the content as needed.
Using Cron settings allows for more precise date and time specifications!
For details, please refer to here.
Once set, save it.

‍

‍

Step 4: Set the X (Twitter) Action

Next, click "Post a Tweet".

‍

‍

Select Linked Account and Action

You can change the title.
Check the account information linked with Slack.
Ensure "Post a Tweet" is selected as the action, then click Next.

‍

‍

API Connection Settings

Set the text of the post to the content you want to publish.
Once set, click Test.

‍

‍

Set other items according to your operation.

‍

‍

If the test is successful and you can add the content of X (Twitter) to the retrieved values, save it.

‍

Step 5: Set the Slack Action

This is the final setup step.
Click "Send message to the channel".

‍

‍

Select Linked Account and Action

You can change the title.
Check the account information linked with Slack.
Ensure "Send a message to the channel" is selected as the action, then click Next.

‍

‍

API Connection Settings

Select the channel ID to post to from the candidates.

‍

‍

Set the message to the content you want to notify on Slack.
Select "Post Text" from the items of the values obtained from X (Twitter) and set it.
After setting, click Test.

‍

‍

If the test is successful and you can notify Slack, save it.

‍

‍

Finally, turn on the trigger and check the operation.

‍

‍

Now the Flowbot setup is complete!
