Add twitter feeds to your email

3 replies
Long story short i was trying to hook up a twitter feed for my site and through hours of frustration where for some reason my site would not accept the code, in the ninth hour i fell over a mistake that i am not sure anyone is doing. (or i have seen)

If it's been done then call me late for dinner and sorry.

Go into your google account and drag the feed burner option http://feedburner.google.com , and you will also need your feed URL from your twitter page.

Once in feed burner on the home page at the bottom paste your twitter feed, then run through the few set up options.

Here i would normally use buzz boost to grab the HTML, that did not work for me this time but after hours i noticed the top tab called > headline animator

select this tab then from the option settings select the email settings.

adjust your settings as required, it is here that you can also post in any destination URL, so select and paste your twitter URL , or web site whatever suits. then back up the top you have the get code options, select the email option here and then continue.

From there you have a few simple steps to make a quick HTML then attach it your email signature.

You now have your latest feeds pumping out with your emails (it rotates the latest feeds not sure how many in total), and for those emails left in peoples in boxes they will have fresh content when the revisit the email.

and yes you can post the feed / HTML to your site as well so two birds with one stone.

Hope somebody can get some use from it.
cheers

    I wouldn't really recommend this solely for the fact that it gives your subscribers TOO many choices.

    Email marketing is designed to make you money, not to showcase your tweets.

    ar yes sorry i am talking about adding it to my home grown emails i fire around the place to all and sundry not auto responder emails. cheers my mistake for being unclear is all

    i can throw a tweet in and probably affect / promote on many hundreds if not more general emails at any one time i would have floating around.

    edit: might be just me but i see this gig as a good way smaller offline business can add a live feed to the emails they manually send out to clients, adding the latest whatever to their twitter feed is a one spot update all company email feeds to clients, past present and future.
