Twitter/𝕏 - New user tweet alert

SocialData Monitoring API provides an easy way to get nearly real-time notifications when any Twitter user posts a new tweet. Use this Val template to deliver notifications to Discord or Telegram.

• SocialData account

To use this template, fork this Val in the top right corner of this page.

You don't need to change any code - this template works as-is, and only requires a few environment variables in order to deliver your notifications to Discord or Telegram.

Open Val.town environment variables page and create the following variables:

• DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL - required when using Discord for notifications
• TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN - required when using Telegram for notifications
• TELEGRAM_USER_ID - required when using Telegram for notifications

You don't have to set up both Discord and Telegram at the same time. Either is required for this Val to work, but you may set up both at the same time.
