Option	How a run begins	Good at	Keep in mind
Letaido AI agent	A set time, such as every morning or every hour, a check mark on a Slack draft, or a request in chat	Picking the notable posts from a search or your mentions, weekly results with what to repeat, posting drafts your team approved, and asking the team to share new posts	X jobs run on a schedule, not the moment a post appears. You connect your own X developer app, and X bills reads and posts to your credits
Slack's Twitter app	Nothing: retired in 2023	Links to X posts still unfold in Slack if your settings allow	Slack removed it in 2023, citing upstream API limitations, and paused new setups
IFTTT	A polling X trigger, such as a new search match, mention or post by you	Forwarding each matching post or mention to a Slack channel	It checks X every hour on its entry plan and every 5 minutes on Pro. Slack has no triggers on IFTTT, so nothing starts from Slack
n8n	A workflow you build: a schedule, a Slack event such as a reaction, or a webhook	Custom workflows with the X node (search, create, like, repost, DM) and Slack's trigger and actions	You build and maintain each workflow yourself, such as a Slack reaction trigger feeding the X create-post action, and the X node needs your own X developer account
RSS.app Slack bot	Its feed refresh: every 60 minutes on Basic, every 15 minutes on higher plans	Posting new posts from an X profile, hashtag, list or search into Slack channels, with keyword filters	It forwards posts as they are found, with no summary or grouping, and doesn't post to X

Slack and X: the old way vs. Letaido

1Search X for each competitor
2Search again for each topic
3Scroll past reposts and noise
4Copy the posts worth sharing
5Paste them into Slack

Every morning at 8am, search X for posts from the last 24 hours that mention RivalCRM, @rivalcrm, "crm for agencies" or "pipeline tool", leaving out reposts and our own @acmehq posts. Post the notable ones to #market-intel, grouped as Competitor, Category questions and Pain points: posts with 20 or more likes, from accounts with over 5,000 followers, or asking for a recommendation. Give each one the author, follower count, a one line summary and a link. Read at most 100 posts a day.

Frequently asked

Does Slack still have a Twitter integration? +

Not its own. Slack retired its Twitter app in 2023, citing upstream API limitations, though links to X posts still unfold in Slack. With Letaido, Leta reads X on a schedule and posts the notable posts, your mentions and weekly results to the Slack channels you pick.

How do I connect Slack and X to Letaido? +

Create the Slack app from Letaido's manifest and invite the Letaido bot to the channels it should use. Then connect X with your own X developer app, and describe the job in chat or paste a prompt from a job on this page.

Do new X mentions show up in Slack right away? +

No. The X jobs here run on a schedule, such as every morning, every hour or every Monday. A new mention shows up in the next morning's digest. Only the draft job starts from an event: a check mark reaction in Slack.

Can I post to X from Slack? +

Yes. When someone reacts with a check mark to a draft in your drafts channel, Leta posts it to X exactly as written and replies in the thread with the link. A check mark from the draft's own author doesn't count, and a draft already marked Posted on X isn't posted again.

Is there a cost for X API reads and posts? +

Yes. X bills each read and post to your own X developer credits, and a post with a link costs more. The weekly results and team share jobs read only your own posts, which X prices as owned reads at $0.001 per resource.

Will Leta like or repost on X for my team? +

No. The share job asks your team in Slack to like and repost new posts from their own accounts. The search, mentions and weekly jobs only read X.

Can IFTTT or RSS.app send X posts to Slack? +

IFTTT and RSS.app forward each matching post to Slack as they find it. Leta goes through a day of posts or mentions, keeps the ones worth your time, groups them and adds a summary or a suggested reply. It can also post drafts your team signs off on to X.

Put Slack and X to work today
