How to Get Telegram Alerts When a Twitter Account Tweets

You want a ping in Telegram the moment a specific account posts — not when you happen to open X three hours later.

Here's the practical setup:

What you need

1. A Telegram bot (from @BotFather) and your chat ID.
2. A monitoring tool that polls public accounts (SignalGo checks every 5 minutes).
3. Optional keyword rules so you only see tweets that matter.

Step 1: Create your Telegram bot

Open @BotFather → /newbot → copy the bot token. Start a chat with your bot or add it to a group/channel. Use @userinfobot or getUpdates to grab the chat ID.

Step 2: Add the Twitter account

In SignalGo, paste bot token + chat ID, then add the @username. Only public accounts work.

Step 3: Add keyword filters (recommended)

Without filters, every tweet triggers an alert — you'll mute the bot within a day.

Examples for crypto:

• Include: contract, 0x, listing, airdrop
• Exclude: gm, giveaway, like and RT

How fast is fast enough?

Five-minute polling catches most catalyst tweets before the crowd reacts. Sub-minute needs expensive streaming APIs — overkill unless you're running HFT.

FAQ

Can I alert a Telegram channel? Yes — use the channel's chat ID after adding the bot as admin.

Private accounts? No. Public tweets only.
