How to connect Slack to Twitter account alerts
Official X does not give you a simple “Slack when @handle tweets” switch. XFlux watches public accounts and POSTs into Slack Incoming Webhooks — free to test, live on Starter. Product overview: /twitter-slack-alerts.
No custom Slack bot required
Incoming Webhooks are enough for channel text alerts. Use a bot only if you need Block Kit or threads.
Keyword filters
Alert only when posts mention tickers, product names, or macro phrases.
Same stack as Discord / HTTPS
One monitor model — swap the webhook URL for Discord or your server.
Connect Slack in three steps
- 1
Create a Slack Incoming Webhook
Slack → Apps → Incoming Webhooks → add to channel → copy URL.
- 2
Create an XFlux monitor
Register free → Dashboard → Monitors → add @username + optional keywords.
- 3
Paste URL → Test → upgrade for live
Free can send test pings. Starter ($19/mo) delivers when new matching tweets appear.
FAQ
- Does this post to Twitter from Slack?
- No — this path is Twitter/X → Slack alerts (read + notify). XFlux is a read API + monitors, not a posting bot.
- Slack vs Make.com?
- Direct Slack webhook is simplest. Make.com if you need Sheets/filters — see /docs/integrations/make.
- Related Twitter webhook hub?
- See /twitter-webhook and /twitter-slack-alerts.
