By automating the process, it saves time and effort, ensuring that profile banners can be updated quickly and efficiently, providing a fresh and engaging look that can attract more followers.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks 'execute'.
    2. Fetch New Followers: It retrieves the latest followers from Twitter using the Twitter API, limiting the results to 3 followers at a time.
    3. Item Lists: The follower data is processed to separate the relevant information into manageable items.
    4. Fetching Images: For each follower, their profile image is fetched and resized to 200x200 pixels.
    5. Crop: The images are then cropped into circular shapes to create a visually appealing avatar.
    6. Resize: The cropped images are further resized to 75x75 pixels for optimal display.
    7. Function Node: A function node compiles the binary data of the avatars into a structured format.
    8. Fetch Background Image: A background image for the banner is fetched from a specified URL.
    9. Merge: The background image and the avatars are merged together into a single image.
    10. Edit Image: The final composite image is prepared for upload by layering the avatars onto the background.
    11. HTTP Request: Finally, the completed image is uploaded to Twitter as the new profile banner using the Twitter API.
