X / Twitter Feeds

ArkenBot can monitor X (Twitter) accounts and post a Discord notification whenever they publish a new tweet. The bot checks every 5 minutes.

Requirements

X/Twitter alerts require a Bearer Token in the bot's .env file:

TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN=your_bearer_token

A free X Developer account with a Basic app is sufficient. Sign up at developer.x.com and generate a Bearer Token from your app dashboard.

Setup

  1. Go to Dashboard → X / Twitter Feeds
  2. Click Add Alert
  3. Enter the username of the account to monitor (with or without @ — e.g. @shroud or shroud)
  4. Select the Discord channel to post in
  5. Customize the message template using the available variables
  6. Click Save

Message Variables

VariableReplaced with
{streamer}@handle of the account
{title}Text content of the tweet
{url}Direct link to the tweet

Example template:

New tweet from {streamer}: {url}

Tips

  • Replies and retweets may be included depending on your API plan
  • The bot only detects new tweets from the point it was configured — it does not backfill historical tweets
  • If you don't set a Bearer Token, Twitter alerts are silently skipped with a warning in the bot logs
