Account monitor → webhook
Monitor a Twitter account and fire a webhook
The search intent is simple: watch an @account, get a webhook. XFlux is built for that — schedule, optional keywords, Dashboard history, live POST on Starter+.
One monitor per @handle
Free: 1 monitor. Starter: 3. Higher tiers add more. Pause/resume anytime.
Webhook when it matters
Live delivery on paid plans. Test button works on Free so you can wire Discord/Slack/Make first.
Keyword filters
Ignore unrelated tweets — useful for trading, crypto KOLs, and brand mention watches.

FAQ
- How fast is detection?
- Depends on plan interval (paid can be as frequent as 1s). Not marketed as sub-second streaming.
- Can Free users receive live webhooks?
- No — Free is Test + Dashboard. That gating is intentional so Starter is the clear upgrade for push alerts.
