Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow.

Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Mattermost and X (Formerly Twitter) nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Mattermost and X (Formerly Twitter)
A connection establishes a link between Mattermost and X (Formerly Twitter) (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your Mattermost and X (Formerly Twitter) integration

Connect Mattermost and X (Formerly Twitter) with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Mattermost and X (Formerly Twitter) workflow

Send tweets every minute to Mattermost
This workflow executes every minute and fetches the recent tweets from Twitter with the search query n8n_io. The workflow is built on the concept of polling.
Cron node: The Cron node triggers the workflow every minute. Based on your use-case you can configure the time. You can even use the Interval node to trigger the workflow at a certain time interval.
Twitter node: The Twitter node searches for the tweets that contain n8n_io and returns the most recent tweets. You can specify a different search query based on your use-case.
Set node: The Set node sets the data that we pass on to the next nodes in the workflow. You can set only the values that you require in your workflow.
Function node: All the magic happens in this node. The Twitter node returns all the recent tweets, including the ones which were returned earlier. The Function node, using the getWorkflowStaticData() method, only returns the tweets that are new, i.e., the tweets that were not returned in the previous workflow.
Mattermost node: The Mattermost node sends the tweets from the Function node to the Twitter notifications channel. If you don't use Mattermost and want to share this data on a different platform, replace this node with the appropriate node.
