Step 1: Create a Twitter/X Account
Create or use an existing Twitter/X account that you want to connect to BOLD.
Make sure you have access to the account credentials and the necessary permissions to configure its developer settings.

Step 2: Create a Twitter/X Developer Account
Create a Twitter/X Developer account for the Twitter/X account that will be integrated with BOLD.

Step 3: Create an App in the Developer Portal

1. Open the Twitter/X Developer Portal.
2. Navigate to Apps.

4. Locate the Callback URI / Redirect URL section.
5. Add the following callback URL:

   Important: The callback URL should use the frontend website domain and not the Bold CMS/admin domain.
6. Save the changes.

Step 6: Add the Keys to BOLD

• Copy the Consumer Key and Access Token generated in Twitter/X and add them to the corresponding fields in BOLD.
• BOLD fields: API Key and API Secret

Step 7: Add the Keys to BOLD

1. Log in to the BOLD Workspace.
2. Navigate to Settings → Integrations.
3. Under the Social panel, update the following:

2. Navigate to Settings → Social Sharing.
3. Select Add New Connection.
4. Choose Twitter from drop down and select Add Twitter Account.
5. Complete the connection flow.
