Twitter (uh, X?) integration support

Embed tweets in your emails

Saw an interesting tweet you want to share with your subscribers? With Buttondown, you can embed tweets into your emails. All you need is the link!

Buttondown's integration tool allows you to add content like a cool tweet to your newsletters. The best part is that the embedding tool only requires a link. You don't have to learn code or do any research with Buttondown's integration tool.

To embed a tweet:

1. Create your email as normal.
2. Paste the link into the body of the email.
3. Share with your subscribers.

Want to see how the embedded tweet will look in the email? In the top right corner, we have added an "email preview" and a "web preview" button to show how the tweet will look. Toggle back and forth to ensure the embedded tweet shows as desired.

Share your newsletters automatically

Buttondown lets you connect your Twitter account to your newsletter. This lets you automatically share your newsletters as tweets. This integration relies on Buttondown's automations feature.

Setting up your Twitter integration

To get started,

1. Navigate to Settings, and then the Integrations and find the Twitter integration option.
2. Click Connect. A new tab opens, prompting you to log in to your Twitter account.
3. Click Authorize app to authorize Buttondown to tweet on your behalf.

After you connect your Twitter account to Buttondown, a confirmation message appears on the Integrations page.

Sharing your newsletters to Twitter

To share your newsletters to Twitter, you can create an automation that posts your newsletters to Twitter whenever you send them. To do this, use the template below:

You can also set it up by hand:

1. Navigate to the Automations page and click New. The "New automation" panel opens.
2. (Optional) Give your automation a human-readable "Name."
3. Set the Trigger to when an email starts sending.
4. Set the Action to Create a Twitter post.
5. (Optional) Configure any other fields to customize the automation. If you leave these fields blank, the automation will post to your Twitter account as soon as you send a new newsletter email.
6. Click Save changes.

To enable the new automation, either click Unpause in the automation panel, or click to enable the automation's toggle in the Automations page.
