Update Twitter settings

Once you authenticate your Twitter account, you can configure a few settings, including...

  • Tweet by default or do not tweet by default when creating an incident

  • Start the tweet with some text such as [status]

  • Add a custom Twitter card image (the default image used is the Statuspage logo)

Note: Custom Twitter card images will not show up if your page is in Trial mode.

Tweet updates

Statuspage automatically starts the tweet with with your custom text (if selected) and the current incident stage (Investigating | Identified | Monitoring | Resolved).
