The problem it solves

You want to track tweets on a topic or from an account over time, but copying them into a spreadsheet by hand is tedious and easy to duplicate or fall behind on.

Who it fits

A social media manager or researcher tracking tweets over time.

How it works

  1. The workflow is started to run a collection batch
  2. It pulls a set number of recent tweets
  3. Each tweet is checked against what's already saved to avoid duplicates
  4. New tweets are added to Airtable
What you get

Tweets logged without re-entering them

You get fresh tweets saved to Airtable automatically, with duplicates already filtered out.

What you get

An Airtable base with tweets logged over time, with no duplicate entries.

What you need

A Twitter (X) developer account and an Airtable account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
