X/Twitter Profile Data

X enrichment extracts profile information and recent activity from X (Twitter) profiles. This data powers buyer scoring, outreach personalization, and - most importantly - determines whether you can send DMs to a lead without following them first.

How It Works

X profile enrichment fetches the full profile data using your connected X account. If no X account is available, enrichment skips and the pipeline advances.

What Gets Extracted

Profile Information

Field	Description
Twitter User ID	Unique account identifier
Name	Display name
Username	Handle (derived from profile URL)
Bio	Profile description
Follower Count	Number of followers
Following Count	Number of accounts followed
Verified	Blue checkmark or verification status
Profile Image	Profile picture URL
Can DM	Whether you can send direct messages (see below)

The Can-DM Flag

The most important piece of X data is the can-DM flag. This boolean controls whether your outreach can land directly in someone's inbox.

• Can-DM = True - You can send direct messages without following the account first. Your initial message goes straight to their inbox.

• Can-DM = False - Your first message will appear in their "Message Requests" folder, which has much lower engagement.

Recent Activity

After profile data is fetched, recent posts are collected:

Field	Description
Recent Posts	Array of structured post objects
Posts Text	Concatenated text with date labels for AI consumption
Interaction Orbit	Who the lead interacts with on social media
Signal Date	Updated if a newer post is found

Older posts are filtered out to keep activity data relevant. Activity data is not required for the pipeline to advance - if it can't be fetched, scoring continues without it.

Error Handling

Transient errors (rate limits, network issues) are automatically retried. Permanent errors (profile not found, no account available) are logged and the pipeline continues- X enrichment failure does not block LinkedIn enrichment, scoring, or other pipeline phases.

Data Quality

• Suspended accounts - profile data cannot be retrieved (404)

• Private/protected accounts - limited data available; recent posts may not be accessible

• New accounts - may have minimal activity for personalization

• Deleted accounts - return 404 and enrichment skips
