Your Twitter Mentions, Logged While You Sleep

"You can't fix what you can't see." – Every marketer who missed a viral tweet

Most marketers miss real-time mentions.
Or worse — spend 20 minutes a day checking Twitter manually.

Not you.

Because today, your spreadsheet updates itself.

The Framework:

Twitter → n8n → Google Sheets
Let’s make your mentions auto-log with zero clicks.

Here’s how the system works:

1. Twitter Trigger
Watches for every new mention of your handle
Set to check every 15 minutes

2. Filter (Optional)
Skip retweets or block spammy keywords
Keeps your sheet clean and relevant

3. Google Sheets Action
Logs every mention in real-time
Captures: timestamp, tweet, user, tweet link

Now your sheet tells you what’s buzzing — without lifting a finger.

The Use Case:

Let’s say your campaign hits X (formerly Twitter).
A customer tweets love, a competitor takes a shot, or a creator tags you.

Boom — it logs instantly.
No refreshing. No digging.
Just signal, ready to act on.

Bonus Moves:

• Sentiment Score: Add OpenAI to label tweets “Positive”, “Neutral”, or “Negative”
• Slack Ping: Get notified if someone notable tags you
• CRM Match: Link usernames to contacts in Airtable or HubSpot

The Tool Stack:

• n8n – your automation brain
• Twitter Node – the watcher
• Google Sheets Node – your real-time log
• Optional: Claude/OpenAI for NLP, Slack, Airtable, CRM

PS – If you’re still manually checking Twitter… you’re already behind. Let your sheet check for you.
