🤖 Building an automated Twitter bot to create an archive of information

Tamilore Lawal shares her journey with no-code, and her experience using Softr, Zapier, and Airtable to turn Twitter into a library of helpful information.

"I’m a Product Manager, entrepreneur, and no-coder. I’ve been exploring the big, bad world of no-code for about 4 years now.

My latest project is called 'My Bookmark Bot'.

Introducing My Bookmark Bot

One of the things I like to do on Twitter is curate tweets that I think are cool. It could be something funny, or helpful, a job opportunity, or an idea I find interesting.

I’m able to do that thanks to Twitter’s bookmark feature, but I probably have thousands of tweets bookmarked!

When I remember something I want to refer to, I find myself scrolling endlessly through my bookmarks and most of the time I don’t find what I was looking for.

I decided to create a tool to help with all that."

Introducing My Bookmark Bot

"Using My Bookmark Bot I can organize bookmarked tweets into categories, and search by words I remember in the tweet or the username on the tweet.

To use the bot, I simply reply to the tweet I want bookmarked by tagging @mybookmarkbot_ and stating the category I want that tweet in.

Paste your embed code and place this below it. <style> .calendly-overlay .calendly-popup { max-height: 800px; } </style> January 23rd 2022 0 Retweets 0 Likes

The bot then exports that tweet to a simple webpage interface where I can filter by categories, search and link back to Twitter.

I’m also able to use it on both the Twitter mobile app and web app so no need for extensions."

Building a bot without code

"My Bookmark Bot relies heavily on automations. Everything happening at the backend is controlled by about 15 Zapier steps.

I needed API keys from Twitter for some steps to run properly, but I got a bit confused at some point with all of Twitter’s documentation.

I decided to use Nocodeapi as an easier solution. It worked!

I needed a database to store all the tweets that would get exported and categorized. For me, there’s no better option for that than Airtable — it’s super easy and fun to use.

Using Airtable made Softr an obvious choice for the front-end part of the tool. It already had a list component made specifically for showcasing tweets and that just went perfectly with what I had in mind."
