How Discord and Twitter Integration Can Benefit You

Linking Twitter and Discord is an excellent way to inform your channel members about important tweets. You can receive real-time updates in Discord or via email notifications.

Even if your Discord members don’t have Twitter, they can still see the latest tweets from followed profiles directly in the Discord app. There's no need to open Twitter or its client apps.

This setup is ideal for fan clubs of celebrities or for growing followers for your own account.

Integrating Twitter with Discord Bots for Seamless Tweet Sharing

There are many ways to get tweets from Twitter, such as using a Twitter bot, a Discord bot, or other third-party apps. We will talk about some popular options to keep your Discord channel updated with the latest tweets.

IFTTT

IFTTT

IFTTT (short for “If This Then That”) is an online service that lets you automate actions for specific events. You can link Twitter to Discord and create applets that perform actions when a trigger occurs.

Create an account on the IFTTT website or log in using Google, Apple, or Facebook credentials. On the IFTTT home page, click the “Create” button in the top right corner to start an applet.

Click the “Add” button next to “If This.” Search and select Twitter as the service. Choose an event to trigger an action, like “New tweet by a specific user.” Connect and authorize IFTTT to access your Twitter account. Enter the username you want to track and click “Create trigger.”

Back on the Create applet page, click the “Add” button next to “Then That.” Search and select Webhooks as the service. Choose the “Make a web request” option.

Open Discord and click the Settings gear icon next to the channel name where you want the tweets sent. Click “Integrations” from the menu, then choose “Webhooks.” Click “New Webhook” and then “Copy Webhook URL.”

Go back to the IFTTT page and paste the copied link into the URL box. Choose “POST” from the “Method” drop-down menu. Select “application/json” from the “Content Type” options. Paste this code in the “Body” textbox, replacing @username with the desired account handle.

QuikTweet

QTweet is a bot that fetches only the latest tweets from a Twitter account, unlike other bots that get every tweet in real-time.

Add QTweet to your Discord channel and give it permissions.

In your Discord channel, use the command “!!tweet <username>” to get the latest tweet from that account.

This helps keep your channel uncluttered and free from spam.

TweetFlow

TweetShift can be managed in two ways: directly within Discord or through TweetShift’s dashboard.

If you choose the Discord method, it is easier to set up using slash commands. Here’s how to connect your Twitter to your Discord channel:

  • Open Discord and type a slash “/” in the text box. You should see the available slash commands. If not, update your Discord app.
  • Type “/follow” and then the Twitter handle (@username) you want to add.
  • Select the Discord channel where you want the tweets to appear.
  • Decide if the bot can post links by choosing True or False.
  • Choose if you want retweets to appear by selecting True or False.
  • If slash commands don't work, open the TweetShift dashboard in a web browser. Here's how to set it up:
  • Click “Invite to server” or “Dashboard” to go to the Discord webpage. Log in to your Discord account if needed.
  • Select the server to add the TweetShift bot from the dropdown menu. Click “Continue” after selecting.
  • Click “Authorize” to allow the bot to work. You will see a “Server added!” message.
  • Click the “Dashboard” button in the upper right corner.
  • Give the required permissions for TweetShift to access your Discord server.
  • In the left menu, select “Auto-posting” and enter the Twitter account you want to follow. Also, enter the Discord channel where you want the tweets to appear.

Mee6

Mee6

This is a paid service costing $11.95 per month. You can also get a yearly subscription for $49.99 or a transferable lifetime plan for $89.99.

For this price, they offer more services. You can also earn income from your Discord channel, which is helpful for moderators and people using Discord for work.

For our needs, it works the same as TweetShift. Use the Mee6 dashboard to link Twitter to a Discord account. Then, all Tweets from that Twitter account will show up on the Discord channel.

Conclusion

Using bots and third-party services to link Twitter and Discord is a convenient way to connect and update your community.
