Hello,
I’m wroking on a Google Sheet to Twitter workflow.
When my sheet updates it should send a tweet.
The tweet should be formatted.
@name1, @name2 said {message}
It is sending the tweet but removing the mention (@name1) and tweeting it as:
name1, name2 said {message}
Why is this happening? Is there a work around?
Dominic

A Zap that auto-responds to search mentions is a violation of Twitter's policies for automation.
Twitter’s policy doesn’t allow replies or mentions in response to search mentions.
If your Zap has a Search Mention trigger and an action that sends a Tweet to that user’s @username, the Tweet will be posted but the @ will be removed.
Twitter’s policies for automation don't allow @replies in response to search mentions.
