Keep your profile banner fresh by showing new followers in real time. The flow pulls the latest three follower avatars and places them on a branded background. Great for creators, brands, and social teams that want fast social proof without design work.

When you run it, the system calls the Twitter API to get recent followers with profile image links. It downloads high quality avatars, resizes them to 200 by 200, cuts them into circles, then scales them to 75 by 75 for layout. A background image loads from your template URL. Item Lists splits the follower array, Function groups the avatar files as data0 to data2, and Merge pairs them with the background. Edit Image composites the icons at fixed spots, and the final banner uploads to your account through the Twitter API.

You need a Twitter developer account, a user ID, a bearer token for reading, and OAuth1 keys for uploading the banner. Use a 1500 by 500 background so the positions match. Many teams cut banner updates from half an hour to under two minutes per change. Use it to welcome new followers, highlight a campaign, or show a growing community.

• Gets recent followers with profile images using the Twitter API v2 endpoint.
• Downloads higher quality avatars by switching the URL to 400x400.

• Scales final icons to 75 by 75 for a neat banner layout.
• Loads a background template image from your own URL for brand control.
• Groups up to three avatar files into data0, data1, and data2 for easy placement.
• Merges the background image with the avatar set before compositing.
• Places the three icons at fixed positions on the banner using Edit Image.
• Uploads the finished banner through the Twitter API v1.1 with OAuth1.

• Reduce manual banner work from 30 minutes to 2 minutes
• Automate 100 percent of banner refresh steps after setup
• Improve visual consistency to 100 percent with a fixed template
• Handle three new follower highlights per update without extra design time
• Connect Twitter read and write actions in one flow

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. You'll need accounts with Twitter. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
3. In the n8n credentials manager, create an HTTP Header credential for reading followers. Set Header Name to Authorization and Value to Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN. Name it Twitter Read Token.
4. Open the Fetch new followers node and choose the Twitter Read Token credential. Replace {YOUR_USER_ID} in the URL with your numeric Twitter user ID.
5. Run the Fetch new followers node once. Confirm you see up to three items with profile_image_url fields.
6. Check the Item Lists node and confirm it splits the data field so each follower becomes a separate item.
7. Open the Fetching images node and keep the URL that replaces normal with 400x400. Execute it and confirm each item now has a binary avatar file.
8. Set the Fetch bg node URL to your banner template image. Use a direct link to a 1500 by 500 PNG for best results.
9. Execute Resize, Crop, and Resize1 nodes in order. Confirm avatars are 200 by 200, round, then 75 by 75.
10. In the n8n credentials manager, create a Twitter OAuth1 credential for uploading the banner. Enter API Key, API Secret, Access Token, and Access Token Secret. Name it Twitter OAuth1 Banner.
11. Open the final HTTP Request node for the banner upload. Select the Twitter OAuth1 Banner credential. Keep body type as multipart form data if already set by the template.
12. Run the Edit Image node. Confirm it outputs one item with a single banner image that includes three icons on the background.
13. Run the full workflow and check your Twitter profile banner. If you get a 403 error, verify developer access and permission. If the image is rejected, reduce file size or confirm the PNG dimensions match 1500 by 500.
14. Optional step for full automation: replace the manual trigger with a Cron node to run daily. Adjust icon positions in Edit Image if you switch to a different banner size.
