Description

This N8N workflow automates the process of posting content to X (formerly Twitter) and tracking tweet performance. The workflow handles different types of content through conditional logic, automatically posts to X, and logs all tweet data and metrics into Google Sheets for comprehensive social media analytics.

Overview

The X (Twitter) Automation & Tracking workflow operates through the following process:

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow is initiated by incoming webhook requests containing content to be posted
2. Code Processing: Initial content processing and formatting occurs through custom code nodes
3. Conditional Routing: A switch node determines the appropriate posting strategy based on content type:
   • Reply Path: Handles reply tweets and threaded content
   • Approve Edit Path: Manages approved content edits before posting
   • Approve Edit + Quote Path: Processes approved content with quote tweets
4. Content Transformation: Each path includes specific formatting and optimization:
   • Custom code transformations (Code, Code2, Code3, Code4)
   • Content filtering and validation (X, X1, X2, X3)
   • Character limit optimization and hashtag processing
5. X API Integration: Automated posting to X platform with proper formatting
6. Performance Tracking: Real-time capture of tweet metrics and engagement data
7. Google Sheets Logging: Comprehensive data storage across multiple spreadsheets for analytics
8. Slack Notifications: Team notifications about posting status and performance updates
