This workflow is designed for professionals who want to consistently interact with targeted topics in a scalable and compliant way.\n\n---\n\n## How It Works\n\n**This workflow runs on a customizable schedule and follows these four main steps:**\n\n1. **Topic Selection:**\n Every cycle, the workflow picks a new search term from your custom list of topics, using a rotating index. This ensures balanced coverage of all your key interests over time.\n\n2. **Tweet Search & Extraction:**\n The workflow uses the selected topic to search X (Twitter) for recent tweets. It then extracts only the essential tweet information (`id` and `text`) for further processing.\n\n3. **GPT-Based Filtering:**\n Using your OpenAI API key, the workflow leverages GPT to filter tweets, keeping only those that match your professional criteria (for example: English, relevant content, no spam or memes, and excluding entry-level opportunities or AI-generated posts).\n\n4. **Engage: Like, Generate & Post Replies:**\n For each approved tweet, the workflow automatically:\n\n * Likes the post,\n * Generates a tailored, professional reply using GPT based on the tweet\u2019s content and your defined role,\n * Posts the reply directly on X (Twitter).\n\n Wait nodes are included to respect Twitter\u2019s API rate limits. You can shorten these if you use a paid API tier.\n\n---\n\n## Requirements\n\n* **X (Twitter) API credentials:** Required for searching tweets, liking, and posting replies.\n* **OpenAI API key:** Needed to run all GPT-powered steps.\n\n---\n\n## Customization\n\n* **Topics:** Edit your list of search terms and roles to match your industry or personal interests.\n* **Frequency:** Adjust the schedule to run daily, weekly, or at any interval you prefer.\n* **Filtering logic:** Tweak the GPT prompt or filtering instructions to better match your brand or professional standards.\n\n---\n\n**This workflow helps you engage with relevant conversations on X (Twitter) efficiently and professionally, automating the process end-to-end while maintaining quality and compliance.**\n\n---\n" }, "typeVersion": 1 } ], "active": false, "settings": { "executionOrder": "v1" }, "versionId": "ccf9c3dd-623b-495d-90f7-5d5a3f3536e8", "connections": { "Wait": { "main": [ [ { "node": "X (Formerly Twitter) Like Tweet", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Wait1": { "main": [ [ { "node": "X (Formerly Twitter) Post Reply", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Loop Over Items": { "main": [ [], [ { "node": "Wait", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Schedule Trigger": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Set search Terms", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Set search Terms": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Rotating Slot Index Generator", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "GPT Topic Selector": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Extract Tweets from JSON", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "GPT Tweet Response": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Wait1", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Extract Tweets from JSON": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Loop Over Items", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Rotating Slot Index Generator": { "main": [ [ { "node": "X (Formerly Twitter) Search terms", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "X (Formerly Twitter) Like Tweet": { "main": [ [ { "node": "GPT Tweet Response", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "X (Formerly Twitter) Post Reply": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Loop Over Items", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Group Tweets into a Single Array": { "main": [ [ { "node": "GPT Topic Selector", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "X (Formerly Twitter) Search terms": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Group Tweets into a Single Array", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "When clicking \u2018Execute workflow\u2019": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Set search Terms", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] } } }
