Twitter User Registration plug-in configuration

The Twitter User Registration plug-in provides a way to authorize a Twitter account and register a mapping between Action Request System user and Twitter user accounts.

AR System permits you to send an alert notification to a valid Twitter account that is registered with a given AR System user. A filter with Notify action can send the given text as a "tweet" to the specified user only if the AR user is authenticated in Twitter and is registered with an Access Key and Token Secret that Twitter generates. This plug-in helps create the registration by means of a form similar to AR System Alert Twitter User Authorization form. Use this form to:

  • Select an AR System user to register — A browser asks you to provide valid Twitter credentials. After authenticating the user, Twitter generates a unique PIN.
  • Enter the generated PIN and save this user to generate a unique Access Key and Token Secret. This entry is stored on the AR System Alert User Registration form.
