Problems logging in with Twitter

[mark5]

Hi, I’d like to set up an automation for a restaurant to be able to post photos or videos to Twitter, but I’m having a problem connecting Make and Twitter, and I am quite sure my login and password for Twitter are correct—the same ones I use to log in to Twitter. And my Twitter account was open at the time I tried to connect Make. I currently have Instagram and Facebook setups working smoothly.

And I’m guessing there’s nothing yet for tick-tock posts or YouTube shorts.?

Thanks for all your help,
mark

This post may help you, as it outlines the current situation with Twitter’s new authentication:

Make / Twitter authorization is down

Hi, everyone! I’m Bruno, one of the team leaders for our Care team. First of all, we’d like to say that we’re sorry that your recent experience with Make has not been satisfactory and that you that you’ve been having trouble with the Twitter connection. While we can only imagine how frustrating this has been, we’d like to try and explain our side of things. TL;DR version: The core of the matter is that all modules continue to work and you don’t have to pay anything more for now if you follo…

You’ll need to create your own Twitter custom app in the Twitter developer dashboard following this documentation, first “Create Custom App and Client Credentials in Twitter”, then “Connect Twitter to Make” (using the custom app credentials).

You CANNOT connect using your personal Twitter account – this is a restriction imposed by Twitter, and is no way Make’s fault.
