# Integrating a Twitter Account

## Overview

This document reviews how to integrate a Twitter account with Decisions.

The example below requires the following before proceeding:

- Administrative users must have an existing [Twitter Developer Account](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apply-for-access) to create an app from which API tokens may be generated.
- [Install](/version-10/docs/installing-modules-decisions) the **Twitter Module.**
- [Project Dependency](https://documentation.decisions.com/version-10/docs/project-dependencies).

Configure the **REST** step by selecting the name of the new token (TwitterToken in our example). Complete the **Body** text with the tweet structure shown under the Inputs screenshot. Run the Flow.

```

  "id_str": "850006245121695744",
