Connect an X account
Connect an X/Twitter profile to Hootsuite to manage it from the same place as your other social media accounts. When you connect an X account to Hootsuite, you can publish to it, engage with your audience, create reports, and more.
To add social accounts to Hootsuite organizations, you need Super Admin, Admin, or custom Add social networks organization permissions. Social accounts can only be connected to one organization, but they can be shared with multiple teams. Learn more about managing your organization's social accounts.
