Social media management can often be a time-consuming and laborious task, especially when you’re juggling multiple platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Whether promoting your business, engaging with your audience, or updating your daily posts, the process of manually drafting, scheduling, and publishing content can rapidly consume your day.
Picture this: you’re striving to maintain continuity of posts across time zones, but due to other tasks, you miss an important tweet. This is where automation becomes your best ally.
By harnessing the power of AITable.ai and Make, you can effortlessly schedule and auto-publish your tweets on X, allowing you to focus on amplifying your impact, rather than spending time managing posts.
The Power of AITable.ai and Make
AITable.ai simplifies workflow automation with a visual database and extends its capabilities by connecting to over 6000+ apps via Albato, Zapier, Make, Pabbly, and Activepieces.
The automation we’re going to explore in this article involves automating the posting of specific record information from AITable.ai to X (formerly Twitter) and writing back the published link to AITable.ai.
A Step-By-Step Guide to Automating X Posts
Setting Up Your AITable.ai Datasheet
Firstly, you need to create a datasheet within AITable.ai. This datasheet should include a ‘select’ field, which can be named ‘status.’ This field indicates the status of the post, with an option for ‘sent.’ There should also be a text field filled with the post content and a URL field to record the published link.
Building Automation within AITable.ai
Next, build a ‘send web request’ automation within AITable.ai. This step ensures that the relevant information can be received by Make. You should set the trigger to ‘Record Matches Conditions.’ This will activate when the status changes to ‘sent.’
Then, set the action to ‘send web request.’ Fill in the required information based on the configuration. The data variables that need to be received are ‘content’ and ‘record ID.’
Creating a Scenario in Make
Subsequently, create a new Scenario in Make. Choose ‘webhook’ as the first module, select ‘custom webhook,’ and generate a URL. This URL should be pasted back into the automation settings within AITable.ai.
Once you’ve successfully tested the data capture, the next module to select is X (formerly Twitter). Set the action to ‘Create a Post.’ You will need to connect your X account for this step. To do this, you will need to obtain the necessary Keys and Tokens from the X Developer website. (You can find specific methods for obtaining these in the ‘Online Help’ section under ‘connection.’)
Then insert the content variable captured in the first step into the configuration panel, which will be sent as the content of the post.
Updating AITable.ai Records
The final module is AITable.ai, with the action set to ‘update a record.’ Connect your AITable.ai account, and input the URL from X, along with the post ID obtained from the previous step, into the corresponding AITable URL column. Then, save your settings.
Once the test is successful, your workflow is complete.
