Hi All.

Has anyone seen an error similar to this before? My first reaction is, of course it is automated =].

I am running the same tweet automation step in another non-Flow automation tool, same Twitter account, same tweets, with 100% success. Would this indicate this is a Flow problem?

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

Looks like this is something to do with twitter but then again you got this working the same with non-flow automation tool.

I don't think your issue is related to flow.

I have the same problem
My Twitter account has been created in November 2021
I follow 2 users
In the first days I've retweeted 10+ times
Since then I cannot tweet, nor follow others.

I get:
"You are unable to follow more people at this time"
or
"This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can’t complete this action right now. Please try again later."
