Question

How can I post Slack messages for new Twitter mentions?

I’m looking for a simple way to post a message in Slack each time we get a new mention on Twitter. Have the Twitter API changes affected the functioning of zaps like this? 

So far I’ve tried Black Magic - even got a subscription for testing - and the New Mention trigger is non-functioning. Any other integrations or ideas to try for this very simple automation?

I saw that :( Does that mean there are no other apps that could take the place of a direct Twitter integration for a simple mentions automation?

Dear @hmarnold,

        I believe Slack already has the solution to your situation, simply go to the left nav-bar, click on "more ...", in the ": Apps" you will
    find a large list of options for Slack integrations and plug-ins.. search for SocialPilot, then "Add-To-Slack".
    After the initial Authorizations and package selection, you will be able to automate a variety of Social Media Platforms to suite you business requirements. 


If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to reach out for more targeted support.
