How to Make a Twitter (X) Account Automated (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you’ve ever seen a Twitter profile with a small label that says:

“Automated by @____”

You’ve seen what Twitter calls an Automated Account.

This isn’t a bot spam thing.

It’s actually an official feature on X that allows you to let tools or systems post on your behalf while being transparent about it. It tells people that your tweets, replies, or updates are system-generated, scheduled, or triggered automatically.

This is extremely useful for:

➡️ Business accounts that post updates

➡️ News and alert feeds

➡️ Support accounts that auto-respond

➡️ Price, weather, or data update accounts

➡️ Personal accounts that publish scheduled content

Let’s walk through how to turn your account into an Automated Account and how to actually automate your posting safely.

What Is an Automated Account on X (Twitter)?

An automated account is a Twitter profile where posts are published programmatically rather than manually.

To maintain transparency, Twitter requires these accounts to:

1. Disclose that the account uses automation
2. Show which account or service is managing it

So when you set up automation properly, your profile will show:

Automated by @yourhandle

This builds trust, because people instantly understand that:

✅ The content is scheduled or triggered automatically.

✅ Responses may not be “live” human reactions.

✅ The account is acting as a service, feed, or update stream.

What You Need Before You Start

To enable automation, you need two accounts:

How to Actually Automate Posting on Your Twitter Account

Once your account is enabled as an automated account, the next step is to automate what gets posted.

This is where Circleboom becomes extremely useful because it’s an official X partner and follows platform rules (safe, compliant, no risk of suspension).

With Circleboom, you can automate your Twitter activity in two powerful ways:

1) Fully Automatic Posting with RSS Feeds

If you want your account to share new content the moment it’s published, you can connect any RSS feed to your profile.

For example:

• A news site
• Your blog
• A YouTube channel
• A Substack newsletter
• A Medium profile
• A crypto price feed
• A weather or market update source

Whenever there’s a new post on that source → your account tweets it automatically.

How to Set Up RSS Auto-Posting:

1. Open Circleboom Publish
2. Connect your Twitter account
3. Go to RSS Feeds
4. Paste the feed URL you want to auto-share from
5. Choose posting frequency and formatting
6. Save → Your posts now share themselves automatically

No writing, no scheduling — hands-off automation.
