# Automatically post new Tweets into Discord

You must have Admin permissions in your server in order to setup Auto-Posting.

This feature lets you set up Twitter account so that when they Tweet, they will be automatically posted to a Discord channel in your server.

#### How to start Auto-Posting

Firstly, go to the channel that you'd like to start receiving Tweets in, then run the command `t!autopost start <handle>`. So for example, if you wanted to start receiving posts from the @BBC Twitter account, you'd run `t!autopost start BBC`. If you'd like the messages to also include Retweets, Links or Pings, then look at \[auto-posting flags

|| When you first setup Auto-Posting, It can take up to 2 minutes before Tweets begin to arrive in Discord!

#### Auto-posting flags

Flags allow you to add special properties to your auto-posting accounts. Here are the avaliable flags:

* `--retweet` This includes Retweets within auto-posting.
* `--link` Provide the link to the Tweet.
* `--everyone` Will automatically @everyone every time a new Tweet is recieved from this account.
* `--ping` If you include `#tweetshiftbot` at the beginning of a Tweet, the bot will automatically @everyone when a Tweet is recieved.

To use a flag, just include it at the end of the command, for example, to include Retweets from the @SpaceX account, you would run: `t!autopost start SpaceX --retweet`, or using whatever flag you choose.

#### Stopping Auto-Posting

To stop an account from Auto-Posting to a channel, just run `t!autopost stop <handle>` **in the same channel which the Tweets are being posted in**. So for example, if you wanted to stop receiving posts from the @BBC Twitter account that we showed in the last example, you'd run `t!autopost stop BBC`.

#### Seeing the list of Auto-Posting accounts in your server

To see which accounts are being auto-posted in your server, just run `t!autopost list`, and you'll be displayed with the accounts being posted in your server.
