Twitter Push Notifications
How to create push notifications for Twitter/X account alerts with TweetStream events, filters, and mobile or browser delivery services.
Direct answer
Custom Twitter/X push notifications need real-time source events, strict filters, and backend-controlled delivery to avoid alert fatigue.
Alert design
Push notifications need stronger filtering than dashboards because every alert interrupts the user.
- Track only high-signal accounts
- Filter by token, keyword, or media context
- Group low-priority alerts
- Escalate only market-moving events
Delivery path
TweetStream handles the real-time Twitter/X source event. Your backend decides whether to create a mobile, browser, Discord, or internal notification.
Implementation asset: adaptable code example
Use this filter to avoid sending every tracked post as a mobile interruption. Adapt the terms, tracked accounts, and destination to your own routing rules.
const watchTerms = ["urgent", "halt", "exploit", "listing"];
const destination = "push-service";
export function routePushNotification(event: {
d?: {
author?: string;
detected?: { tokens?: Array<unknown> };
ocr?: string;
text?: string;
};
}) {
const text = `${event.d?.text ?? ""} ${event.d?.ocr ?? ""}`.toLowerCase();
const matchedTerm = watchTerms.find((term) => text.includes(term.toLowerCase()));
const hasTokenSignal = Boolean(event.d?.detected?.tokens?.length);
return {
author: event.d?.author,
deliver: Boolean(matchedTerm || hasTokenSignal),
destination,
matchedTerm,
};
}Why implement this with TweetStream
