X Post Hunter
This automation acts as a vigilant 'Post Hunter' on X (formerly Twitter). It scours the platform for posts about a specific topic, filters them by popularity, and delivers a neatly formatted summary of the top findings directly to a designated Slack channel.

This automation provides a fully automated way to monitor conversations and trending content on X. Here’s how it works:
- Initiates and Authenticates: The agent begins by navigating to X.com and verifying that you are signed in, which is necessary to view search results.
- Executes Search: It then performs a search on X using the topic you provide.
- Extracts and Scrolls: The agent intelligently scrolls through the search results, extracting key data from each tweet it finds, including the post content, view count, and like count.
- Filters Content: It automatically filters out irrelevant content such as advertisements, retweets, and replies to focus only on original, high-value posts.
- Identifies Top Posts: It applies your custom
minViewsfilter to identify the most popular tweets and collects them until it reaches themaxTweetslimit you've set. - Formats and Reports: Finally, it compiles the top posts into a clean, easy-to-read summary—complete with engagement metrics and direct links—and posts it to your specified Slack channel for review.
