Describe in your own words what you are building

We have installed the SupportPal (https://www.supportpal.com) software and would like to use its Twitter integration.

The SupportPal software uses a periodic cron task to fetch Twitter mentions and direct messages from users to our Twitter account. These communications create a ticket in the software only visible to authenticated operators, and the operators can then reply to the ticket and it posts a tweet or direct message back to the user. Documentation for this integration can be found at the link below.

The software also provides an authentication option for Twitter, so users can register/login with their Twitter accounts in the software. Documentation for this integration can be found at the link below.
