Twitter is full of insightful news and trends. But integrating those insights into your research flow can be overwhelming and time-consuming. We hear from users all the time that you want to be able to bring parts of Twitter into your Feedly feeds for researching and monitoring trends.Today, we’re excited to share the new Twitter Integration for Feedly!You can follow Twitter accounts, hashtags, Lists, and searches. Even more exciting, Feedly can pull content from linked articles directly into your feeds. And Leo, your AI research assistant, can cut through the noise and prioritize or mute certain topics to make sure you only see tweets with essential information for your research.

One of my favorite features is the Feedly Twitter integration. I can stay informed about events and conversations I might otherwise miss, without it affecting how I use Twitter and cluttering up my feed.Jon Henshaw, Founder of Coywolf

Follow Twitter accounts in Feedly

Search for any Twitter handle in the ‘Twitter feeds’ tab, just like you would with any other source on Feedly.

When you search for an account, you’ll see two options: ‘Tweets’ and ‘Tweets with Links’.

Follow ‘Tweets’ to see all tweets from an account.

Follow ‘Tweets with Links’ to follow only tweets from this account that link out to articles, videos, pictures, or any other type of external content. This lets you skip any tweets without external content.

Choosing ‘Tweets with Links’ is great because:

If possible, we’ll extract the content of linked articles and make the content appear inline, just like any other article in your feeds.

You can create a Leo priority on both the tweet and the content of the article when it’s extracted. We’ll tell you more about Leo priorities in a second.

Search for an account, and then choose whether you want to follow all tweets, or only tweets that link to external content.

Scan tweets — and the articles they link to — in your feeds

Tweets are aggregated into your feeds with the rest of your content. When you click on a tweet that links to an article, the article will open in Feedly.

Tweets are aggregated into your feeds with the rest of your content.

Read and annotate linked articles directly in your Feedly

We’ll pull the content of linked articles inline so you can read and annotate them in your Feedly. Add notes or highlights without having to click away to Twitter or another site to read or save the article.

When a tweet links to an article, you can open the article right in Feedly.

I can interact with tweets the same way I would with articles by saving, highlighting, and pushing them to other services.Jon Henshaw, Founder of Coywolf

Train Leo to prioritize specific topics, companies, or business events

This is where it gets powerful. Leo, your AI research assistant, helps cut through the noise of tweets in your feeds and find what’s essential to you. Click ‘Train Leo’ to create a priority.

Ask Leo to prioritize topics, like “Tik Tok”, and then use AND, OR, and NOT to refine your priority.

Leo reads both the content of the tweet and any linked content to decide whether or not a tweet should be prioritized.

Train Leo to mute tweets that aren’t important to you

Just like any other piece of content in Feedly, you can train Leo to mute tweets about topics you don’t care about, so you only see essential news in your feeds.

Leo reads both the content of the tweet and any linked content to decide whether or not to mute a tweet.

You can ask Leo to mute any content related to a topic, like COVID-19.

Follow Twitter hashtags in Feedly

You can follow all tweets mentioning a specific hashtag. You’ll see two options, just like when following an account: ‘Tweets’, and ‘Tweets with Links’.If you follow the hashtag #b2bmarketing, for example, you can choose:

#b2bmarketing Tweets: all tweets will be pulled into your feeds#b2bmarketing Tweets with Links: only tweets about #b2bmarketing that link to external content will be pulled into your feeds

Follow all tweets with #b2bmarketing, or choose to follow only tweets that link to other content.

Follow Twitter Lists in Feedly

You can also follow Twitter Lists, which are curated groups of Twitter accounts.

Follow both your own Lists and other users’ public Lists. Just paste the link of the Twitter List directly into the search bar in the ‘Twitter feeds’ tab.

Copy the URL of the List you want to follow, and paste it directly into Feedly.

Follow Twitter searches, or create advanced search queries to follow in Feedly

Type your search directly into the search bar in Feedly, and the integration will continually pull updated results of the search into your feed.

Here’s a helpful list of Twitter’s standard operators that you can use to refine your search.

Type your search directly into Feedly to add it as a source. Use operators like -filter:retweets to remove retweets from the results.

You can also use the advanced search options on Twitter. Once you’ve created an advanced search in Twitter, click ‘Search’ and then paste the link to the advanced search directly into the search bar in your Feedly.

I was struggling to search through my bookmarked tweets on Twitter. But now I can follow my favorite Twitter users, star articles from Twitter and add them to boards. They are easily searchable and I can even annotate and highlight parts.David, professor at a large public university

FAQs about the Feedly Twitter integration

How do I get started with the Twitter integration? What can I follow?Anyone on a Pro+, Business, or Enterprise plan has access to the Twitter integration.

Can I follow protected Twitter accounts?Yes. If the Twitter account you want to follow is protected, just make sure the Twitter account you’re using to connect to Feedly follows the protected account.

How do I remove retweets?Right now, it’s not possible to explicitly remove retweets. If you want to remove retweets from your feeds, our recommendation is to hide retweets from inside your Twitter account. Here’s how

Do I need to follow both ‘Tweets’ and ‘Tweets with links’ for an account or hashtag?You only need to follow one. Choose ‘Tweets’ and you’ll get all tweets, with and without links.Choose ‘Tweets with Links’ to get only tweets that link to external content, like articles or videos.

Is it possible to filter a search further once I follow a hashtag?Yes. Our advice is to first use Twitter’s advanced search to refine your search. Then, once you’re satisfied with the results, copy and paste the URL of the search in Feedly to create a new source.
