Connector Twitter

Twitter is a social media platform that allows users to share short messages, called tweets, with a wide audience. It is a dynamic and real-time communication channel, enabling individuals and organizations to express thoughts, share information, and engage with a global audience. Besides, businesses and marketers can leverage Twitter's vast dataset for valuable insights into customer sentiments, trends, and public opinion. The connector linking Twitter to a Customer Data Platform (CDP) is crucial in extracting tweet data from a user's Twitter account. This integration allows businesses to harness the power of social media data, incorporating it into their broader customer data strategy.
