The plugin offers the easiest way for you to add Twitter OAuth integration to your Bubble.io app. Pathfix will handle the entire oauth process, token management and the pass-through connectivity to Twitter’s endpoint.
Functionality:
The plugin will handle the following:
UI/Visual element that renders the connect button
Entire OAuth process (user authorization, token management and user connection)
API calls to the relevant endpoints
UI/Visual Element
Rendered automatically via Pathfix Connector Design Element plugin
Thank you @Pathfix team! You guys have been helpful and patiently helped me get this going! I’d definitely can’t recommend any other solution than Pathfix for oAuth.
Hey @bobl, media upload is not currently supported by the plugin yet. We are looking into adding support and will keep you updated on the progress we make here.
Can you tell me how I would use this plugin to tweet from the app’s Twitter account, rather than an individual user’s Twitter account?
i.e.when someone posts content to my app, I want my app Twitter account to tweet about it. So the app needs to be authenticated to one Twitter account (the app one) no matter who is using my app.
/edit - I have tried to do this by authenticating just one Admin user and then using that user’s unique id, instead of the current user’s id. That works for the authentication, but I have not got the tweeting to work yet. I again use the admin user’s unique id for the tweet action, but no joy yet.
Hey @major_groove yes, you would need to use the authenticated user_id instead of Current User’s Unique ID.
However, you will need to use the user id of the user (not the login credentials of the Twitter account). i.e. go into your Pathfix account - click on Test Connection - auth your account - use the email you used to log in to your Pathfix account as the User_id
Hey @Pathfix, is the new Twitter V2 plugin going to phase out the old one and require us to redo our workflows? Any plans to add things like thread creation and auto DMs?
Hey @sydney22 unless Twitter depreciates the V1 APIs completely, the plugin will remain active. Twitter has not mentioned anything to indicate this, so we believe this may not happen anytime soon. We will continue to monitor this and keep you updated for any changes.
We could certainly look into adding support for thread creation and auto DMs if Twitter APIs support these.
@Pathfix When I authorize my Twitter account use bubble, after the redirect the pathfix connector does not toggle to “connected”. Does this have to do with my configuration or redirect?
Hey @jakecohen212 yes, its most likely an error in your Twitter dev configuration and the authentication hasnt completed.
Could you log in to your Pathfix account and click on Test Connection under your Twitter configuration? Ping us on our live chat or email our support team with the error you see and we’d be happy to assist
Anyone else experiencing problems with Twitter today? I’m getting the following errors:
"error": “Segments do not add up to provided total file size.” and
"message": "Your media IDs are invalid."
Same setup was working great until today. It appears to be a problem with Step 3 (Finalize) on V1. Weird because when I run the debugger, the file size number is consistent throughout all steps.
Do the plugins need to be updated/reinitialized, @Pathfix?
Hi @jbtecsolutions this was indeed related to the file size that was being uploaded. When the file size does not match the media size shared with Twitter, Twitter rejects the media that you are trying to upload.
Not sure what you are using to convert the image to base64 or to get the file size, but if you check our setup documentation (linked bwlow for reference), you will see we are using the Bubble default Picture Uploader element and all of the information required for the upload is given as required by Twitter
