In February 2018, Twitter
announced new guidelines around the use of automation and multiple accounts. These guidelines are intended to prevent the spread or promotion of spam on their platform. Amongst other things, Twitter is reaching this goal by limiting the use of automation tools, such as Zapier, on their platform.
To comply with Twitter's goal to keep its users safe, we're making the following changes:
- We're disabling the ability to post duplicate or near-duplicate Tweets using Zaps. If we detect that a Zap in your account has already posted the same content, your Zap will stop, and your Task History will show the error message “Unable to create tweet, duplicate of existing tweet detected".
- We're adding restrictions to the rate at which Zaps can post to Twitter. Zaps will be limited to 50 tweets per 30 minutes.
