Solved: Re: Is the Twitter connector broken

Anonymous · ‎04-20-2023

The tittle is very self declarative. Since at least 8h the flows that were working before have stop working. And seems the azure connector is actually getting rejected by twitter. Has power automate app been block by twitter?

Seems I found a work around, for now you need to create a new connector with a "bring your own app" style, the connector has some info on how to do it.
As I had to solve a similar issue in make, I prefer this explanation in a loom video of how to do the twitter part.

Having the same issue; I'm wondering if Elon is blocking any and all Microsoft integrations because of the kerfuffle around Microsoft Advertising.

And yep, this is systemic and likely a reax to Microsoft's decision re: Advertising https://twitter.com/search?q=Power%20Automate%20Twitter&src=typed_query

Just noticed this as well. This is insanely unfortunate since I JUST switched from another service to Power Automate less than a month ago.
This Twitter API nonsense is getting absolutely ridiculous.

TheRobRush · ‎04-20-2023

Twitter is about to start charging for use of their API calls so that is probably the reason.

Thanks for sharing!

For those of you who may be like me and are reading fast, a key note from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/twitter/#authentication-and-bring-your-own-application

Is:

Add "https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect" for the callback URLs (NOTE: If you are using Fairfax subscription or GCC environment look at "Fairfax and GCC callbacks" section)
Set "Website URL" (required field, but it's value does not affect the flow)

This is great, just what I was looking for yesterday when I posted whether anyone knew what the PA callback URI was! Excellent stuff, hopefully it works and grateful thanks that you found this and shared👍👌. If this works I'll link to the post I issued yesterday as surely there's thousands of users totally inconvenienced by Musks meddling.

Confused61 · ‎04-22-2023

YES!! This works! 👌

Hi. While the connection to Twitter is re-established, my automated tweet flow FAILS to send the Tweet, as it appears my simple Tweet requires "elevated access"!!! This means $£paid for if I'm not mistaken. I'm just not seeing how this can be, given the simplicity of the Tweet and that the free Twitter API access level seems to cover my requirements.

Sadly, I'm flabbergasted and no further forward after having made a successful reconnection.

$100/mth for sending simple automated Tweets!? Nahh.

If anyone has any clues, or can tell me if it's working for you, HOW it's working for you, I'm all ears!

Disappointed, for all the hours of seemingly wasted work setting the complex flow only to have Musky mess it up for me (and millions of others I'm sure)!

Thanks for this. I had posed the question in another thread and I just posted your solution there.

This worked for a while, but since June its been returning an error saying I have only access to limited endpoints... but seeing as I am only trying to post, that is one of the limited endpoints I have access to... so either something is broken on the twitter side or the Microsoft side but I cannot find a solution.
