Automation Rules and Best Practices
Automating Your Tweets Based on an Action You've Completed
Maybe you want to post to your Twitter timeline whenever you upload a video to YouTube, create a new photo album, or beat a high score in your favorite game? Sounds great! It’s generally fine to update your Twitter account when you complete a particular action. Just be careful—if you post similar updates too frequently, your followers might get a little bored!Automating Your Tweets by Streaming External Information
If you want to automate your account with a feed from your personal blog or updates from your RSS feed, please consider the following:- Feeds of your own blog: It’s generally fine to automate your account with updates of your own content; just be sure to review the Twitter Rules before setting up your automation.
- Feeds that go through redirects or ad pages: If you're posting automated links that redirect through landing or ad pages before the final content, your account may be suspended for posting misleading links, a violation of the Twitter Rules.
- Feeds for community benefit: We welcome feeds that are used for community benefit or provide non-commercial information to a niche group of users, such as local weather feeds or transit information.
