I use Zapier to automate Twitter. I add to a list people who post on a certain #topic. And from time to time I browse the list and add to friend people who meet certain criteria, or I like what they post.<p>I am looking at alternatives, because I find the first paid tier on Zapier way too expensive. I would gladly pay something like $5 for a lower number of "zaps" per month.<p>This has helped me network with like minded people. I looked at N8n.io but it lacks Twitter altogether. And in IFTTT I can't create this simple workflow... Maybe I am missing something.
There's another cool tool called Automate.io. It offers a lot more tasks than Zapier, I think around 250. It also allows multi-step Bots in the free plan.<p>Check this link out for more info - <a href="https://automate.io/zapier-alternative" rel="nofollow">https://automate.io/zapier-alternative</a>
Out of curiosity, what is the limiting factor of the free tier on Zapier for you? You need more that 100 runs per month, or you need multi-step workflows?<p>Perhaps <a href="https://www.integromat.com/en/" rel="nofollow">https://www.integromat.com/en/</a> would work for you.
