Configuration Steps

Node 1: Schedule Trigger Configuration

Purpose: Determines how frequently your agent checks for new tweets.

Configuration:

• Interval Type: Select minutes or hours
• Interval Value: Enter 15 (checks every 15 minutes—adjust based on your needs)
• Recommended Settings:
  • High-volume accounts: 5-10 minutes
  • Standard accounts: 15-30 minutes
  • Low-volume accounts: 60 minutes

Example: Setting interval to 15 means the agent wakes up every 15 minutes to search for new tweets.

Node 2: Search Tweets Configuration

Purpose: Finds tweets matching your criteria that need responses.

Configuration Parameters:

• Search Query: Enter your search criteria

  • Example: @yourhandle -is:retweet (finds mentions excluding retweets)
  • Example: #YourHashtag lang:en (finds English tweets with your hashtag)
  • Example: from:@competitor_account (monitors specific accounts)

• Result Type: Select recent (most recent tweets first)

• Max Results: Set to 10-25 (balance between coverage and processing time)

• Tweet Fields: Enable:

  • author_id (who tweeted)
  • created_at (when it was posted)
  • public_metrics (engagement data)

Data Output: This node outputs a list of matching tweets with metadata.

Node 3: Get Latest Tweet Per Account

Purpose: Filters results to get only the most recent tweet from each account, preventing response spam.

Configuration:

• Input: Receives tweet list from Search Tweets node
• Processing Logic: Groups tweets by author and selects the newest one
• Output: Deduplicated list of tweets (one per account)

Why it matters: Prevents your agent from replying to multiple tweets from the same user in a single cycle.

Node 4: Check Success (First Condition)

Purpose: Verifies that the search operation completed successfully.

Configuration:

• Condition: Search operation status == "success"
• True Path: Proceeds to prepare replies (Node 5)
• False Path: Routes to error handling (Node 10)

Node 5: Prepare Reply

Purpose: Generates personalized reply text using templates and tweet data.

Configuration:

• Template Variables: Use these placeholders:

  • {{author_name}} - Replier's Twitter handle
  • {{tweet_text}} - Original tweet content
  • {{timestamp}} - When tweet was posted

• Example Template:

  Thanks for reaching out, {{author_name}}! 
  We appreciate your feedback on "{{tweet_text}}". 
  Our team will look into this shortly.
  

• Output: Formatted reply text ready for posting

Node 6: Send Reply

Purpose: Posts your prepared reply to Twitter.

Configuration:

• Tweet Content: Uses output from Prepare Reply node
• Reply Settings:
  • Enable reply_settings to restrict who can reply
  • Set in_reply_to_tweet_id to original tweet ID
  • Character limit: 280 characters (Twitter standard)

Important: Verify your reply text doesn't exceed character limits before posting.

Node 7: Check If Duplicate

Purpose: Prevents posting duplicate replies to the same tweet.

Configuration:

• Condition: Check if reply already exists for this tweet
• True Path: Skip to "Already Replied" (Node 9)
• False Path: Continue to "Reply Success" (Node 8)

How it works: Queries your recent replies to detect if you've already responded to this specific tweet.

Node 8: Reply Success

Purpose: Logs successful reply posting.

Configuration:

• Data to Record:
  • Tweet ID
  • Reply ID
  • Timestamp
  • Author handle
  • Reply text

Output: Success record for your audit trail.

Node 9: Already Replied (Skip)

Purpose: Logs when a duplicate reply is detected.

Configuration:

• Data to Record:
  • Original tweet ID
  • Previous reply ID
  • Skip reason: "Duplicate reply detected"

Output: Skip record preventing redundant responses.

Node 10: Check Rate Limit

Purpose: Monitors Twitter API rate limits to prevent service interruptions.

Configuration:

• Condition: Check remaining API calls
• True Path: Continue processing (Node 11)
• False Path: Route to rate limit error (Node 12)

Rate Limits: Twitter allows approximately 300 requests per 15-minute window. The agent automatically respects these limits.

Node 11: Rate Limit Error

Purpose: Logs when rate limits are exceeded.

Configuration:

• Data to Record:

Node 13: No Tweets Found

Purpose: Logs when search returns no results.

Configuration:

• Data to Record:
  • Search query used
  • Timestamp
  • Reason: "No matching tweets found"

Output: Informational log (not an error).

Node 14: Other Error

Purpose: Catches unexpected errors not covered by other conditions.
