X (Twitter) Notifications for Slack & Discord

Find out when any public X account posts, without keeping a tab open all day.

X moves fast, and the accounts your team cares about are buried in a timeline full of everything else. There is no clean way to send an X post to a Slack channel or a Discord server, so people end up scrolling the app, checking accounts by hand, or relying on whoever happens to be looking. The post that mattered scrolls past, and the response comes hours late.

Follow Bot watches public X accounts for you and sends notifications straight to your team chat. You pick the accounts and pick the channel. When someone posts, your team sees it in Slack, Discord, Telegram, or Microsoft Teams — original posts only, no retweets or replies cluttering the feed.

How it works

1. Install Follow Bot in your Slack workspace, Discord server, Telegram group, or Microsoft Teams channel. Takes about two minutes. No API keys or developer accounts needed.
2. Follow any public X account with a single command. In Discord, type /follow x nasa. In Slack, use /follow and pick X from the menu. The bot confirms the account exists and starts watching it.
3. Get notified when they post. Follow Bot checks for new posts automatically. When the account publishes something, your channel gets a notification with the post text, the author, and a link to the original on X.

Who uses this

• Marketing teams tracking competitor X accounts to catch announcements, launches, and messaging shifts the moment they go out
• PR and comms teams watching reporters and outlets that break news on X first
• Founders and execs following industry voices and investors without living inside the app
• Community managers following creators and partners so they can engage with new posts quickly
• Trading and crypto communities watching key accounts for signals delivered straight to a shared channel
• Sports and fan groups following teams, players, and beat writers so members hear it together
• Support teams keeping an eye on accounts that post status updates or outage notices

What you get

Each notification includes:

• The full text of the post
• A direct link to the original post on X
• The account name, handle, and profile picture
• The publish time in your local timezone

Slack shows these as attachment cards. Discord renders them as rich embeds. Telegram and Microsoft Teams use their own native formatting. Retweets and replies are filtered out, so you only see what the account actually published.

Why not just use X's own notifications?

X notifications were built for one person on their own phone. They don't work for teams.

They go to one person. If your team needs to see a competitor's post, everyone has to follow the account individually and hope they catch the alert.

You can't route them. There is no way to send an X notification to a specific Slack channel or Discord server, or to sort accounts into channels by topic, client, or team.

They get noisy. Account notifications on X include replies and reposts. Follow Bot shows original posts only, so the channel stays signal, not noise.

They disappear. Push notifications vanish once dismissed. With Follow Bot, notifications stay in your chat history to scroll back, search, and reference later.

Works with your team chat

Follow Bot works the same way on all four. The notifications look different on each platform because they use each app's native formatting: embeds in Discord, Block Kit in Slack, photo or text messages in Telegram, Adaptive Cards in Teams.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with protected (private) accounts?
No. Follow Bot only works with public accounts. If an account is protected, X doesn't make its posts available to outside tools. The bot will let you know if you try to follow one.

Do I see retweets and replies?
No. Follow Bot delivers original posts only. Retweets and replies are filtered out so your channel stays focused on what the account actually publishes.

How often does it check for new posts?
Accounts are checked on a recurring schedule. New posts typically show up in your channel within minutes of being published.

Can multiple channels follow the same account?
Yes. You can follow the same account in as many channels as you want, and each one gets its own copy of the notification.

What happens if I remove Follow Bot from my workspace?
Your subscription is cancelled automatically. No accounts are monitored after the bot is removed, and you won't be charged going forward.

Also monitors

Follow Bot also tracks Instagram, BlueSky, Twitch, Reddit, and YouTube. Same bot, same commands. You don't need a separate tool for each platform.
