Ask HN: Any Zapier Alternative to Automate Twitter?

6 points by el_cid ↗ HN
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.

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!
