Step-by-step setup for connecting Grok Bot to X (Twitter) for automated drafting, reply tracking, and scheduled engagement.
## Configuring the Grok Bot X Connector
Integrating automated AI intelligence with your official X (Twitter) handle requires a reliable bridge between LLM outputs and social API publishing.

### Setup Guide
#### Step 1: Obtain API Credentials
- Create an xAI developer account and generate an API key with `grok-2` inference access.
- Ensure your ESER AI account has an active X connection authorized under **Settings -> Social Accounts**.
#### Step 2: Configure the Ingestion Bridge
Using n8n or Python microservices, configure Grok to poll targeted topic feeds, summarize technical updates, and format outputs according to X post constraints (280 characters or long-form posts).
#### Step 3: Dispatch via ESER AI
Send generated copy to ESER AI's Fastify endpoint:
```bash
curl -X POST https://app.eserai.tech/v1/posts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ESER_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"accountIds": ["acc_x_official"],
"content": "Autonomous Grok-generated insight...",
"scheduleMode": "next_slot"
}'
```
This ensures automatic inclusion in your content calendar, slot conflict prevention, and receipt tracking.
