How to Connect Twitter / X
Connect your Twitter/X account to ACS via OAuth to automate tweet publishing and pull engagement analytics.
Updated April 8, 2026
Connecting Twitter/X lets ACS publish tweets and threads automatically and pulls engagement analytics directly into your dashboards. The connection uses OAuth — no passwords stored, and access can be revoked at any time.

- Automated publishing of tweets and multi-part threads to your Twitter/X account
- Weekly analytics sync: impressions, engagements, likes, reposts, and link clicks
- Performance data integrated into your ACS Analytics dashboard for cross-platform comparison
Prerequisites
- An active Twitter/X account
- An ACS subscription with Twitter/X enabled as a publishing channel
Connecting Twitter / X
Step 1: Open Integrations
Go to Settings → Integrations. Under Connected Accounts, find the Twitter / X card.
Step 2: Click Connect
Click Connect to open the connection modal.
Step 3: Authorize via OAuth
Select Connect with Twitter/X (OAuth). You will be redirected to Twitter/X's authorization page. Review and accept the requested permissions:

Click Authorize app to return to ACS.
Step 4: Confirm the Connection
The Twitter/X card will show Connected with your @handle displayed. ACS can now publish and retrieve analytics on your behalf.
Thread Publishing
ACS supports publishing long-form content as Twitter threads. When a campaign generates thread-format content, ACS posts each segment as a sequential reply, creating a properly chained thread on your profile automatically.
Publishing Behavior
Configure Twitter/X publishing under Settings → Platforms → Twitter/X:
- Posts per week
- Preferred publishing days
- Post types (single tweet, thread)
- Approval required before posting
Disconnecting Twitter / X
From ACS: Go to Settings → Integrations → Twitter/X → Disconnect.
From Twitter/X: Go to Settings → Security and account access → Apps and sessions and revoke Adaptive Content System.
Troubleshooting
Authorization failed Confirm you are logged into the correct Twitter/X account. Developer accounts with restricted API access may have limited functionality.
Rate limit errors Twitter/X enforces posting limits. ACS respects these limits automatically and will queue or retry posts as needed.
Analytics not syncing Analytics are pulled on a weekly cycle. Ensure the connection is still active under Settings → Integrations.
