Posting a Tweet with Notifuse
There are 2 kinds of Tweets: messages on your timeline and direct messages. Here is how to write your templates:
{# To mention the user in your Tweet: #}
Hello @{{twitterUsername}}
{# To send a direct (private) message to a user, start your Tweet with a D: #}
D @{{twitterUsername}} your message...
Available settings
The Twitter settings are defined at the template level from the Notifuse interface when you create/update a template.
If you don't plan to create your templates via API, or overwrite some settings at the last minute when you send a message (via API), you can skip the following table.
However it can be useful to overwrite some settings when you send a message from the API, like the inReplyToStatusId parameter to reply to a special Tweet.
The settings you can overwrite when you send a message via API are marked in the Available in column.

string: username | contact, message | Twitter username of your contact, without the @. |

| inReplyToStatusId optional |
string: tweet id | template, message | The ID of an existing status that the update is in reply to.
