The Autohive X integration connects your X (formerly Twitter) account to Autohive. A capability is one task an agent can do, such as creating a post. With X connected, your agents can:

  • Create posts with text, media, polls, replies, and quotes
  • Get posts by ID, search posts, and read user timelines
  • Look up user profiles, and follow or unfollow users
  • Repost, undo reposts, and bookmark posts
  • Read the posts a user has liked

Install the integration

  1. Log in to Autohive and navigate to Your user profile > Connections or Your workspace -> Integrations

  2. Locate the X (formerly Twitter) Integration card and click Connect to workspace

    List of integrations in Autohive

  3. Authorize with X - you’ll be redirected to X’s authorization page

  4. Review and approve permissions. Autohive requests access to:

    • Read the posts you have liked
    • Upload and manage media
    • Read and write bookmarks
    • Access user information
    • Stay connected without asking you to sign in again

    Approve every permission. The integration needs them all to work as expected.

  5. Confirm installation - you’ll be redirected to Autohive with “Connected” status displayed

You can now use the integration with your agents, workflows and scheduled tasks!

  1. Follow our Create your first agent guide on how to create an agent.

Disconnect the integration

Data Impact: Existing data remains unchanged in both systems, but sync stops and Autohive loses X API access.
