Monitors

Monitors watch X accounts on a schedule and record new tweets as hits. They are a core product alongside the API — not billed against API quota.

Concepts

• Monitor task — one @username (optional keyword filter)
• Baseline — first successful poll stores lastTweetId without creating hits
• Hit — a tweet newer than the baseline, stored in Dashboard and optionally sent via webhook
• Check interval — minimum seconds between polls (plan-dependent)

Dashboard usage

1. Go to Dashboard → Monitors
2. Enter @username and optional keywords (comma-separated)
3. Click Check now to establish baseline
4. New tweets appear under Recent hits; Dashboard shows cross-monitor activity

Keyword filter

If keywords are set (e.g. bitcoin, eth), only tweets containing at least one keyword (case-insensitive) become hits. Leave empty to capture all new tweets.

Check intervals by plan

How polling works

XFlux checks your monitors automatically on your plan's schedule (see intervals below). You can also click Check now on any monitor to poll immediately — useful right after creating a monitor or when testing.
