In this blog, we'll share how we automated our Twitter promotions with our Knime Workflow.

This workflow, connects to the RSS feed of our blog to get some information like; Title, Date Published and URL.
Then it connects to Twitter, using Twitter Developer Account and Knime Twitter API. Uses the blog information and posts a promotion tweet for us with the custom hashtags we defined.
Here is the breakdown of the workflow...
In the Table Creator node, we paste the URL for the RSS feed and read the blog information with RSS Feed Reader node. (you might need to install this extension)
To only promote the latest blogs, we filter the published date column with the date of today. ( we created a "today variable" inside the metanode)
Then we remove every columns except Title and Blog URL. We use these two columns to create column variables. With the help of Group Loop node, we can pass the each Title and Blog URL to the Twitter Post Tweet Node and let the Knime do its magic and post the tweet for us.
We can customize the text, add more hashtags or links using this node.
Thanks to Knime, we don't have to manually promote our blogs.
