Twitter Posts

This insight captures what a prospect is saying publicly on Twitter/X, helping you uncover personal beliefs, strategic focus areas, or signs of engagement that can be used to inform your outreach.

Why does this insight matter?

• Reveals the prospect’s voice and tone in their own words
• Surfaces active pain points, strategic initiatives, or industry views
• Allows reps to reference specific tweets as contextual hooks
• Provides an opportunity to align your value prop to their interests
• Can spark rapport with hard-to-reach personas

Insight Subtypes and Usage

• Subtype: socialMediaProspectRecentTwitterPosts

API Controls

Generate Insights API

To generate this insight, you only need to provide the prospect’s email or LinkedIn profile URL. Autobound handles resolution of the correct Twitter handle automatically.

{
  "insightSubtype": "socialMediaProspectRecentTwitterPosts",
  "contactEmail": "[email protected]"
}

Only one of contactEmail or contactLinkedinUrl is required. If both are provided, resolution is more accurate.

Autobound uses proprietary resolution logic—including cached metadata, pattern matching, and third-party signals—to match the correct Twitter handle to the right prospect.

Generate Content API

To mandate this insight for content generation, include it in the list of enabled insights:

{
  "enabledInsights": ["socialMediaProspectRecentTwitterPosts"]
}

Or to mandate Twitter Posts to be excluded from your output, turn off the insight from Insight Control, or add the following to your generate-content request:

{
  "disabledInsights": ["socialMediaProspectRecentTwitterPosts"]
}
