Microsoft Power Platform and Azure Logic Apps – Potential Service Disruption for Twitter Connector Update

Originally posted by Microsoft Feb 27, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

On Wednesday, February 1, 2023, Twitter made the following announcement: “Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead”

On February 14th, we first notified you about the possible impact to our service because of these changes. We have been working with Twitter to explore an agreement that would result in uninterrupted service – however at this point, there will be imminent disruption in our service connection with the Twitter API.

How does this affect me?

The changes Twitter is considering could affect any apps, flows, workflows, and chatbots in Microsoft Power Platform products (including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agents) and Azure Logic Apps that use the Twitter connector, and may impact you in the following ways:

• Access to Twitter using the ‘Use default shared application’ option in the connection will stop working when Twitter starts enforcing the changes
• Access to Twitter using the ‘Bring your own application’ option in the connection may require you to upgrade your API access to a paid tier
• If Twitter changes their Developer API contracts without honoring backward compatibility, the Twitter connector will not work and result in an error

What action do I need to take?

At this point, we strongly encourage you to move to using the ‘Bring your own application’ option as soon as possible to minimize any disruption from the changes Twitter is considering.
