What are Bot Accounts?

Bot accounts are the Twitter/X accounts that GenX uses to post replies on your behalf. When you approve a reply (or auto-reply sends one), it’s posted from one of your bot accounts.

Your Free Account

Every new GenX user gets a free bot account automatically. This account is managed by the platform and lets you try the full experience without any setup. Free accounts have a FREE badge in the accounts table. They cannot be edited or deleted — they’re provided by the platform.
The free account is perfect for testing. For production use, we recommend importing your own Twitter accounts for full control.

Importing Your Own Accounts

  1. Go to Accounts in the sidebar
  2. Click + Import
  3. Paste your accounts in any of these formats:
username:password:email:authToken:totpSecret
username:password:email:authToken
username:password:email
username:password
Separators can be colons, commas, tabs, or pipes. GenX auto-detects the format.
Bulk import supports up to 1,000 accounts at once. Duplicates are automatically skipped.

Logging In Accounts

After importing, accounts need to be logged in to post replies:
  1. Select accounts using the checkboxes
  2. Click Test Login
  3. GenX logs into each account via TwitterAPI.io
  4. Status updates to Logged In (green) or Login Failed (red)
Login sessions last 24 hours. After that, you’ll need to re-login.

Login Requirements

  • A valid username and password
  • An active proxy (GenX provides system proxies by default)
  • For 2FA accounts: auth token or TOTP secret

Twitter Profile View

Click on any account to open the Twitter Profile drawer. This shows:
  • Profile picture and cover photo (fetched from Twitter)
  • Display name and handle
  • Bio and location
  • Follower/following counts
  • Verified badge status
  • Account details (email, cookies status, registration year)

Best Practices

Use aged accounts

Accounts registered before 2020 are less likely to get restricted. The registration year is shown in the accounts table.

Rotate accounts

Don’t post all replies from one account. Assign different accounts to different campaigns.

Use proxies

Each account should use a unique proxy to avoid IP-based restrictions.

Monitor cookies

Login sessions expire after 24 hours. Re-login accounts before cookies expire.
