How to automate Twitter X direct messages

Learn how to automate sending tweets with a Chrome bot for X(Twitter). Install the template and set up your bot in a few clicks on your browser. This Twitter template utilises a Google Sheet that includes a list of Twitter profiles for messaging. It proceeds to launch Twitter in Chrome and loops through each profile, clicking on the message button and then entering a message before hitting the return key to send the message. Just like how you would message from a profile page.

Get started: Set up your Google Sheet

Create a new Google Sheet. You can do this in your Chrome browser by entering the shortcut "sheet.new", presuming you already have an account. Name your sheet something like "Twitter Messages" then add profile links.

Run your Twitter X direct messages bot

To test an Instagram scraper, initiate the bot with the desktop runner and let it run a few loops. If you do not want the Messages to send disable step 2.3.6. Then, stop the bot and review the data in the linked Google Sheet for accuracy and completeness. If you wish to schedule the bot, add steps to login.

Customize your template

Like all Axiom templates, you can use our no-code bot builder to customize any bot according to your requirements.
