# Add X (Twitter) as a source

Add Twitter a source and collect content to your Flows

## X source types

Once you've [connected your X account to Flowbox](https://kb.getflowbox.com/en/article/connect-your-x-twitter-account-to-flowbox), you can start collecting content in three ways:

-   **Mentions:** collect public X media (images and videos) that @mentioned your connected X account.

-   **Hashtag:** collect public X media (images and videos) that include a specified hashtag.

-   **Add a post feature:** Collect one specific post by parsing the URL.

## Adding X as a source

> In order to avoid duplicates in the system, we recommend only connecting a source to your Collection Flow, commonly named "Master Flow", and then distributing the posts to other Flows.

-   Go to 'Visual Marketing' > 'Flows'.

-   Click on ‘Sources’ directly from the Flows page or use the top-right button within your Collection Flow.

-   Apopup box will open.

-   Click "Add Source".

-   Select "X/Twitter" and your source type (**Hashtag** or **Mentions**).

-   Add the value for that type of source.

-   Optional: Toggle on 'Require approval' to collect directly on the "Approved" tab all the content from this source.

-   Click "Add".

From now on, all new X content related to this source will appear in the Inbox of this Collection Flow and can easily be approved and used for your Flows.
