How to retweet specific user’s tweets with specific word only using IFTTT [closed]

Question

I am looking for a recipe to retweet someones post only if a specific word was used (always at the beginning of the tweet if this is of any help).

I could not find ready to use recipe and creating one does not allow to chose specific word (only specific user).

Answer 1

Create your own applet!

You can use IFTTT's platform (create you own IFTTT applets) to achieve that task.

With Platform, you can add a filter, written in JavaScript that will run between the trigger and the action(s).

So in your case, you can set the action for New tweet by a specific user from Twitter, than apply a JavaScript code to filter, and select the Post a tweet action.

About the JavaScript filtering:

• When you click to create a filter, you'll see a list ^[1] of variables/functions you can use, depending on the chosen trigger and action.
• Depends on your criteria, you can set the action to trigger or skip.

• A very simple JavaScript filtering example for the applet:

  if (Twitter.newTweetByUser.Text.indexOf("YOUR_PHRASE") != -1) {
      Twitter.postNewTweet.setTweet(Twitter.newTweetByUser.LinkToTweet);
  } else {
      Twitter.postNewTweet.skip();
  }
  

  • It will tweet the user's tweet if it contains YOUR_PHRASE.

^[1] The available variables and functions for the chosen trigger and action:

Trigger data
Twitter.newTweetByUser.Text
Twitter.newTweetByUser.UserName
Twitter.newTweetByUser.LinkToTweet
Twitter.newTweetByUser.TweetEmbedCode
Twitter.newTweetByUser.CreatedAt

Actions
Twitter.postNewTweet.skip()
Twitter.postNewTweet.setTweet()

Other
Meta.currentUserTime
Meta.triggerTime

You can use the "New tweet from search" and then use specified Twitter search operators for example;

If new tweet from search ("@account" "#hashtag") then retweet...
