ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign comes with a Social Marketing module which lets you interact with your customers and prospects via X (formerly known as Twitter).

Once the integration is configured, you can:

  • Send direct messages to your followers
  • Post on your X account
  • Collect new contacts by recovering the profile data, which enables you to carry out targeting campaigns and, when possible, to implement cross-channel strategies. This action requires user consent.

Configuration steps to integrate your X account with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign are described in this page.

Create and publish a X post publish-on-tw

Follow the steps below to post a message on your X account:

  1. Create a X delivery

    Create a new delivery based on the Tweet (twitter) delivery template.

  2. Select the main target

    Select the account(s) which you want to send posts to.

    1. Click the To link.
    2. Click the Add button.
    3. Select A Twitter account.
    4. In the Folder field, select the service folder which contains the X account. Then select the X account which you want to send your tweet to.

  3. Select the proof target

    The Target of the proofs tab lets you define the X account to use for test deliveries before the final delivery.

    As detailed in the configuration steps, you must create a private test X account dedicated to sending proofs.

    note note
    NOTE
    If you are using the same X test account for all your deliveries, you can save the proof target in the Tweet delivery template, accessed via the Resources > Templates > Delivery templates node. The proof target will then be entered by default for each new delivery.

  4. Define the content of your post

    Enter the content of your post in the Content tab.

    note caution
    CAUTION
    When posting on X, the limitations apply:
