Support multiple twitter accounts
IstoraMandiri opened this issue · comments
What’s missing?
The ability to manage multiple twitter accounts from the same repository.
Why?
It's common for the same team to manage multiple different twitter handles, for example:
- Multiple languages or regions
- Topic specific accounts (e.g. General News, Support, Development Changelog)
- Different accounts for importance levels / casualness
- Pseudo anonymous personalities interacting with each other
Alternatives you tried
Instead of having to manage multiple repositories with duplicated code and permissions, it would be easier to be able to specify an optional account field in the YAML file, where the tweet will be published to. An alternative would be to use some specific folder structure for each account.
A new config object schema would be required that supports defining multiple accounts.
I fear this would introduce quite a lot of complexity for a rather uncommon use case. And there is a workaround by using multiple repositories. We can leave the issue open to discuss further.
Yeah, I think you are right about this, and this issue can probably be closed.
The correct pattern is to create minimal individual repos for each twitter account, pointing to the same action either in this repo or one maintained elsewhere. My confusion came from inheriting the maintenance of a fork of twitter-together before it was renamed action and my lack of familiarity with github actions. I incorrectly assumed the entire codebase was typically included in the tweeting repos.
