How to integrate X (formerly Twitter) with Webflow

While X doesn't offer an official Webflow marketplace app, you have multiple integration methods available. Each approach serves different needs — from simple tweet embeds that take minutes to implement, to sophisticated API integrations that enable custom social feeds and automated content workflows.

Use the Native features, direct embeds and widgets

The fastest way to add X content to your Webflow site uses X's official embed tools. This method requires no coding and updates automatically with new content.

  • Embed individual tweets to showcase testimonials or highlight important announcements
  • Display X timelines to show your latest posts or curated lists
  • Add interaction buttons for follow, tweet, or mention actions
  • Create hashtag feeds to display event coverage or campaign content

Visit publish.twitter.com to generate embed codes. Select your widget type, customize the appearance with parameters like data-theme="dark" or data-chrome="noheader", then paste the code into a Webflow Embed element. The embedded content updates in real-time and maintains responsive design across devices.

For more control over styling, third-party services like Tagembed provide visual widget builders with additional customization options while still requiring no code.

Build with Webflow and X API

API integration gives you complete control over how X content appears and behaves on your site. This approach enables custom layouts, content filtering, and automated workflows that aren't possible with standard embeds. Access the full X API documentation to explore available endpoints.

  • Create custom tweet displays with GET /tweets/:id for specific tweet styling
  • Build dynamic user timelines using GET /users/:id/tweets with pagination
  • Search and filter content through GET /tweets/search/recent for hashtag campaigns
  • Track engagement metrics via tweet public_metrics fields for social proof displays

Since Webflow doesn't run server-side code, you'll need middleware like AWS Lambda or Zapier to handle API authentication and data processing. The typical flow fetches X data via API, transforms it to match your Webflow CMS structure, then pushes updates through the Webflow CMS API.

Accepting automated content updates

Set up scheduled functions that pull recent tweets and sync them to your Webflow CMS. This creates a searchable, SEO-friendly archive of social content that loads faster than embedded widgets.

Configure your middleware to call X's user timeline endpoint on a schedule, filter the results based on your criteria, then create CMS items in Webflow using POST /collections/{collection_id}/items. Include fields for tweet text, author data, media URLs, and engagement metrics.

Building interactive social walls

Combine multiple X API endpoints to create rich social experiences. Pull tweets from different users or hashtags, aggregate the content, and display it in custom Webflow layouts with your own filtering and sorting controls.

Use the search endpoint to gather content, store it in Webflow CMS collections, then build Collection List layouts that match your brand design. Add client-side filtering for real-time interactivity without page reloads.

What you can build

Integrating X with Webflow enables dynamic social features that keep your content fresh and visitors engaged.

  • Live event coverage pages: Create dedicated event microsites that display real-time X feeds, speaker tweets, and attendee reactions using hashtag aggregation — perfect for conferences or product launches
  • Social proof sections: Build testimonial walls that automatically pull positive mentions and customer tweets into beautifully designed layouts on your landing pages
  • News and media hubs: Develop content aggregation sites that combine your blog posts with relevant X discussions, creating comprehensive topic pages that update automatically
  • Community showcase galleries: Design portfolio sites that feature user-generated content from X, displaying customer creations, contest entries, or brand mentions in visual grids

  • X enforces different rate limits depending on your access level and the endpoints you use.

  • Yes, you can automate posting from Webflow to X using middleware services or the X API. Zapier and Make (Integromat) offer no-code workflows that trigger when you publish new CMS items. For custom implementations, use the POST /tweets endpoint with proper OAuth authentication to create tweets programmatically when Webflow content updates.
