Ask HN: Any Zapier Alternative to Automate Twitter?

6 points by el_cid 6 years ago | 3 comments

I use Zapier to automate Twitter. I add to a list people who post on a certain #topic. And from time to time I browse the list and add to friend people who meet certain criteria, or I like what they post.

I am looking at alternatives, because I find the first paid tier on Zapier way too expensive. I would gladly pay something like $5 for a lower number of "zaps" per month.

This has helped me network with like minded people. I looked at N8n.io but it lacks Twitter altogether. And in IFTTT I can't create this simple workflow... Maybe I am missing something.

There's another cool tool called Automate.io. It offers a lot more tasks than Zapier, I think around 250. It also allows multi-step Bots in the free plan.

Out of curiosity, what is the limiting factor of the free tier on Zapier for you? You need more that 100 runs per month, or you need multi-step workflows?

Perhaps https://www.integromat.com/en/ would work for you.

The 100 runs per month, if I had something like 500 it would be enough. But 100 per month, or 3 per day basically, it's too few. I'll take a look thanks!

edit: looks good, I was able to create the same flow and the free tier is more generous! Thank you!
