Account Setup

Twitter Direct Messages (DM) are slightly more complicated then some of the other notification services, so here is quick breakdown of what you need to know and do in order to send Notifications through it using this tool:

1. First off, you need to generate a Twitter App from apps.twiter.com. It's through a Twitter App we will be able to send our DMs.
2. Once you create the app, you'll need to generate the Access Tokens. This Is done from the "Keys and Access Tokens" Tab.

You should now have 4 Tokens to work with at this point on this same page.

• A Consumer Key
• A Consumer Secret
• An Access Token
• An Access Token Secret

You will also need to your UserID (or Owner ID) which is accessible from the same screen

Syntax

Valid syntaxes are as follows:

• tweet://{userid}@{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}
• tweet://{ownerid}@{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}
