Hi,
I made a simple workflow to search for specific posts from one Twitter account and post it to a TG channel. It works. The workflow uses predefined functions of pipedream so nothing fancy. In my first attempt the message to TG was the link to TW post. I didn’t like the fact that sometime TG didn’t “make” a preview to that link and found the solution to replace twitter.com/{{steps.trigger.event.user.screen_name}}/status/{{steps.trigger.event.id_str}} with fxtwitter.com/{{steps.trigger.event.user.screen_name}}/status/{{steps.trigger.event.id_str}} which resolve the problem - with instant preview when link was posted.So far so good.
Now my problem is that when i get a retwitt from that account…using the fxtwitter and the message has a picture it get’s messed up. What I want to do is if the message is a retweet (starts with RT @name or has a {{steps.trigger.event.retweeted_status}} or something i want to send the message with original account name and id, somehing like:
fxtwitter.com/{{steps.trigger.event.retweeted_status.user.name}}/{{steps.trigger.event.retweeted_status.user.id_str}}
So how do i find if is a RT or not and pass the right params for post?
Thanks
First off, welcome to the Pipedream community. Happy to have you!
Sounds like you’re trying to conditionally exit the workflow early if the tweet is a retweet from a specific account?
If so, you might find some use of the Filter app in Pipedream then you’ll be able to conditionally exit early if the tweet’s retweeted_status
This attribute contains the original tweet. If this attribute exists and is populated with data, then the current tweet is a retweet.
Hope this helps,
