Every tweet arrives with its character count already calculated, so nothing needs re-checking before it goes out.\n3. **One item per thread** splits the result so each thread becomes its own item \u2014 ready to loop over, filter, or send onward.\n\n### Setup\n\n1. Create a SocialSwarm API key on the [developer portal](https://social-swarm-main-aa77a19.zuplo.site). There is a free plan and it does not ask for a card.\n2. On **Generate thread variants**, add a **SocialSwarm API** credential and paste the key.\n3. Replace the feed URL on **On new blog post** with your own.\n4. Execute once to check the output, then activate.\n\n### Customization tips\n\n- Switch **Number of Variants** to 5 for more angles per post.\n- Set **Source Type** to `Text` to repurpose newsletters or release notes instead of a feed.\n- Add your own node after **One item per thread** to send drafts to Slack, Google Sheets, Buffer, or X.\n- A manual run processes every recent feed item \u2014 add a **Limit** node after the trigger to handle only the newest."

About this workflow

This workflow monitors a blog’s RSS feed and uses SocialSwarm to generate multiple X/Twitter thread variants for each new post, then splits the variants into individual items so you can route them to your publishing or review tools. Triggers when a new item appears in the…
