Plugins for syncing social media posts

[codecowboy]

I have a client request for the ability for posts made to social media e.g. Twitter & Instagram to be be auto-posted to a NodeBB forum.

Anyone have any thoughts on how this might be possible? Something similar is possible with WordPress and IFFFT.

My initial thought is this:

• install nodebb-write-api plugin

• connect IFTTT twitter channel to their Maker channel.

• trigger a webhook on the NodeBB API via Maker channel

That's one way of doing it. There's a similar plugin that auto posts from RSS feeds: https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-rss

So perhaps you can change the code where it parses an RSS feed to reading the twitter feed instead. Or use an twitter to RSS service like https://twitrss.me/

If you wrote an IFTTT plugin though, that would be pretty cool
