💡 Pro Tip — HTTP Request scraping tends to break when sites update their markup. If you’re scraping a major platform, check if ScraperNode covers it — it has maintained scrapers for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 20+ other platforms that return structured data.

Description

Who’s it for

Growth marketers, community managers, and personal-brand builders who want to steadily grow their Twitter (X) network by following new, relevant accounts on autopilot—while respecting daily limits.

How it works / What it does

1. Schedule Trigger fires every hour at a specified minute.
2. Select Cookie picks a rotating Twitter session-cookie based on time slices.
3. AI Agent creates a realistic AI/BPA hashtag.
4. Phantombuster Hashtag Agent scrapes recent tweets → extracts profile handles.
5. Set Item builds a small CSV with one profile; Launch AF Agent instructs the Phantombuster Auto-follow agent to follow it.
6. Rate-limit nodes cap follows to roughly 50-80 per day.

How to set up

1. Add credentials: Phantombuster API, SharePoint OAuth2, OpenAI API key.
2. In SharePoint › “Phantombuster” folder create:
   • twitter_session_cookies.txt – one cookie per line.
3. Adjust schedule or search parameters as needed.
4. Activate the workflow; it will run hourly and follow 1 new profile each launch.

Requirements

• n8n 1.33 +
• Phantombuster Growth plan (API access)
• OpenAI account
• Microsoft 365 SharePoint tenant

How to customize

• Change niche: edit hashtag prompt in AI Agent.
• Follow more accounts: raise numberOfAddsPerLaunch and schedule frequency.
• Use Google Drive/Dropbox instead of SharePoint: swap the cookie download node.
