Link your X (Twitter) accounts

On this page

You do not need to link an X account for a Ghost to find posts. Link one only to act on X Finds from PitchGhost, such as replying to a post or following its author. PitchGhost uses a linked account only when you, or a teammate you allow, takes an action. It never posts on its own.

PitchGhost links the X session that is signed in to your browser, through the PitchGhost Instant Actions extension. Owners and admins link accounts, because only they can open Settings. Your company needs an active plan.

  1. Install the extension and sign in to X in the same browser.
  2. In PitchGhost, open Settings then Integrations.
  3. On the Twitter card, click Add. The card still uses the old name. If an account is already linked, the button says Settings.
  4. Under X accounts in this browser, click Link next to the account.

Every X account signed in to that browser appears in the list, and you can link as many as you need. If the list is empty, sign in to X and click the refresh icon next to the heading.

Once an account is linked, pick it on an X Find to take an action.

Choose who can use the account

A new account is usable only by you. To share it, click the access button next to the account, which says Only you at first.

On the Members tab, check Everyone in the company or pick the members who may act with the account. On the API tab, pick which API keys may use it.

Only the person who linked an account can change its access. The Billing role cannot link or use accounts.

When the session expires

The extension keeps linked sessions up to date while it is installed. If you sign out of X, or X ends the session, the account shows a warning icon. Sign in to X again, open the Twitter card, and click Refresh next to the account.

Disconnect an account

Open the Twitter card, click the trash icon next to the account, and confirm with Disconnect.

You can disconnect accounts you linked. Admins and owners can disconnect anyone’s. Removing a member from the company also removes the accounts they linked.
