I’m trying to set up an alternative RSS to Twitter service now that Twitter/X.com is turning off the API to Zapier.
Does anyone have any easy/cheap workarounds?

Hey folks, just popping in here with a quick update: X (Twitter) is back on Zapier! 🎉 So for anyone who comes here in search of a workaround, you won't need one 😅
To get Zapier connected to X, you’ll need to make your own X Developer App and use its Client ID and Client Secret when connecting. Our How to get started with X (Twitter) on Zapier guide walks you through how to do that.

Yeah thanks for repeating what was in the email we were all sent earlier today.
I have Zapier because I don’t want to pay buffer or Hootsuite. If that’s the only workaround, I’ll cancel my account and move to them

The issue with the Twitter app being removed from Zapier is due to the Twitter API price hikes.
You may still need to use Zapier to connect RSS to another social media posting app.
