X (formerly Twitter)

Introduction

This guide takes you through obtaining authentication details from X and installing an X Connector.

To authenticate the X connector you will need an X developer account and to have created a developer app. If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for an X developer account here.

Please refer to the official X documentation for a comprehensive guide on setting up API access.


Setup & Authentication

Remote Setup

Login to your X account and go to your Projects and Apps dashboard.

Click "Create an App" or use an existing App if you have already created one.

The Callback URL to use for the App can be found here and will be similar to this:
https://YourCompany-h.cyclr.com/connector/callback

The permissions for the App should be "Read, Write, and Direct Messages"

Make a note of the API Key and Secret (also known as Consumer Key and Secret) as these are what you will need to authenticate the connector

Cyclr Partner Console Setup

Having created an OAuth app within X to obtain a Client ID and a Client Secret, go into your Cyclr Partner Console:

  1. Go to Connectors > Application Connector Library.

  2. Use the search box to locate the X Connector.

  3. Select the Padlock button.

  4. Enter the below values:

If you leave these values blank, they must be provided each time the Connector is installed.

Cyclr Connector Installation

When installing the X Connector, enter the following values…

You will be presented with an X login modal. Log in to authorize the connector's access.

You will then be redirected to Cyclr where the connector is now authenticated and ready to use.
