Now, you will see two boxes representing the trigger and action. The trigger is set to Twitter, which means whenever you tweet something new, it will trigger the action to save that tweet in Airtable. Click on the Twitter box to connect your Twitter account to Pabbly Connect.

Upon clicking the Twitter box, you will be prompted to connect your Twitter account. This is crucial for Pabbly Connect to fetch your tweets.
