AI Agent: Dynamic Twitter Banner Updater

Unlock Dynamic Profile Engagement with this AI Agent

This n8n workflow acts as an AI Agent specializing in social media personalization. It automates the process of fetching your latest Twitter followers, retrieving their profile pictures, and then skillfully editing these images—resizing, cropping into circles, and compositing them onto a custom background template. The final, updated banner is then automatically uploaded to your Twitter profile.

This agent empowers you to showcase your growing community directly on your profile, making new followers feel welcomed and highlighting your account's activity without any manual intervention.

Key Features & Benefits

• Automated Banner Updates: Keeps your Twitter profile fresh by dynamically changing your banner.
• Follower Showcase: Highlights new community members by featuring their profile pictures.
• Image Manipulation Ability: Intelligently resizes, crops (circular), and composites images onto a background.
• Customizable Branding: Uses your provided background template for consistent visual identity.
• Time Saver: Eliminates the need for manual banner creation and updates.
• Increased Engagement: Creates a more interactive and welcoming profile for visitors and new followers.

• An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
• Twitter Developer account credentials:
  • API v2 Bearer Token (for fetching followers).
  • API v1.1 Consumer Keys (API Key & Secret) and Access Token & Secret (for updating profile banner).
• Your Twitter User ID (the numerical ID, not the @handle).
• A publicly accessible URL for your base banner template image (this will be the background).

1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
3. Configure 'Fetch new followers' (HTTP Request) node:
   • In the URL, replace {YOUR_USER_ID} with your actual Twitter User ID.
   • Under 'Authentication', select 'Header Auth'.
   • Click 'Credential for Header Auth' and select or create new credentials. For 'Name', enter Authorization. For 'Value', enter Bearer YOUR_TWITTER_API_V2_BEARER_TOKEN (replace with your actual token).
   • The max_results=3 parameter fetches the 3 latest followers. If you change this, you'll need to adjust the 'Function' and 'Edit Image' nodes accordingly.
4. Configure 'Fetch bg' (HTTP Request) node:
   • In the URL, replace {TEMPLATE_IMAGE_URL} with the direct public URL of your background banner image.
5. Review Image Processing Nodes (Optional Customization):
   • 'Resize', 'Crop', 'Resize1': These nodes prepare the follower avatars. The 'Crop' node creates circular images.
   • The 'Function' node is currently set up to process up to 3 avatars (data0, data1, data2). If you increased max_results in step 3, you'll need to modify the loop and binary object creation in this node.
   • The 'Edit Image' (composite) node is also set for 3 avatars. If you changed max_results, you must add or remove 'composite' operations and adjust dataPropertyNameComposite (e.g., data3, data4) and their positionX/positionY values.
6. Configure 'HTTP Request' (Update Profile Banner) node:
   • Under 'Authentication', select 'OAuth1.0 API'.
   • Click 'Credential for OAuth1 Api' and select or create new credentials using your Twitter API v1.1 Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token, and Access Token Secret.
7. Activate the workflow. You can test it by clicking 'Execute Workflow' or set it to run on a schedule (e.g., daily).
