{% hint style="danger" %}
Twitter has temporarily discontinued Twitter integrations due to modifications made by Twitter to its APIs. This includes limitations on the number of requests raised per minute, plus substantial pricing changes.
{% endhint %}

## Prerequisites

In order to integrate Twitter with your Bot, you will need the following:

* A [Twitter account](https://twitter.com) with Direct Messages access

### Direct Messages

In order for your bot to receive direct messages from anyone (including accounts it does not follow), the option must be enabled in Twitter’s settings. Go to Twitter’s [Direct Messages](https://twitter.com/settings/direct_messages) settings and check "Allow message requests from everyone". Be sure to save your changes!

Once this is done and you have Linked to Twitter, when a user sends a direct message (DM) to your Twitter account, your BotDistrikt bot will reply to them.
