After connecting your Twitter account, enter the username of the Twitter account you wish to track. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the most recent tweet from that user. Once the test is successful, you will see the tweet data captured in Pabbly Connect.

3. Adding the Action Step to Send Tweets to Mattermost

Now that the trigger is configured, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Click on the action section and select ‘Mattermost’ as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Create a Post’ to send the tweet as a message in your Mattermost channel.

• Select Mattermost as the action application.

4. Mapping the Data from Twitter to Mattermost

With the connections established, the next step is to map the data from Twitter to Mattermost using Pabbly Connect. In the Mattermost action setup, you will select the team and channel where you want to send the tweets. You can map the tweet text to the message field in Mattermost.

Select the team and channel in Mattermost. Map the tweet text from the Twitter trigger to the message field. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

Once you click the save button, the mapped tweet will be sent to your selected Mattermost channel as a new message. This automation allows your team to receive updates in real-time without manual intervention.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

The final step in this process is to test your integration in Pabbly Connect. Make sure your Twitter account is set to tweet new content. When you post a new tweet, the same tweet should automatically appear in your Mattermost channel.

After testing, you can check your Mattermost channel to see if the message was successfully posted. If everything works as expected, your automation is set up successfully, and you won’t need to do anything manually in the future.

Remember, this integration uses polling, which means it may take a few minutes for the tweets to appear in Mattermost. Ensure that your Twitter account is active and tweeting regularly to keep your team updated.
