| To access the Twitter module in Flow, from the Home page, select Content Control > Twitter. Once you have specified a topic, you can add, modify, and delete Tweet searches. A single topic can contain an unlimited number of searches. Each search retrieves Tweets individually and all searches together return Tweets for the topic. The more searches you add, the more Tweets your searches may return for you to moderate, manage, and output. | Anchor |

Notes: - You can specify up to ten (10) parameters combined. For example, 10 accounts, 10 hashtags, 5 accounts + 5 hashtags, or 1 hashtag + 4 accounts + 5 none-of-these-words, and so on.
- Within a single search, the more search parameters you specify, the more narrow a search and the fewer Tweets are returned; search parameters are combined as “AND” results.
- Valid searches will only return Tweets that are less than 7 days old.
