X Automations

Follow tracker

A follow tracker posts every new account that one X account starts following.

A follow tracker posts every new account that one X account starts following.

Trigger

Every 5 seconds, the bot checks the tracked account's Following list for new accounts.

When first created or re-armed, the bot reads the current Following list (roughly the most recent 300 accounts) without announcing anything. Only follows made after that moment announce.

New follows announce oldest-first, up to 3 per check. The bot remembers the last 1,000 accounts seen, so unfollowing and re-following one of those stays silent.

Setup

Setup, in order

  1. Open Dashboard → Beta → Automations with the bot selected.
  2. Click Add and pick Follow Tracker in the Which automation? picker — opens New Follow Tracker.
  3. Enter the tracked X handle. The dashboard looks it up and shows the account, or says the handle is invalid, not found on X, or private.
  4. Pick the destination group from Posts in group… — only groups already authorized for the bot are listed.
  5. Optional: add rules at the bottom of the same form — rules here are about the followed account.
  6. Click Create.
  7. Optional, from the saved automation's card: open the Topics icon to route its messages into a forum topic. There is no recap on a follow tracker.

Output

The card opens with the follow graphic (or the followed account's avatar), then a stats table — Followers, Following, Posts, Joined — and the account's bio. Recent posts and a contract-address block appear once found.

Buttons under the card: View opens the account's profile; Fetch 5 most recent posts (then Fetch 5 more posts) adds the account's posts to the card; Fetch Followers posts the account's complete follower list into the group.

The full card anatomy is covered in chapter 2.9.
