Rather than opening a support ticket which would give me email notification of a response I need to remember to randomly check to see if someone has responded.
please check the box to be notified when a reply is posted, then you will get a notification (Assuming your email provider does not block the mail - some do)
I have the next 4 days, 40 hours that I am dedicating to getting this product set up and running. Please help. Tell me exactly what to do to get this product running.
The quickest way would be:
goto ACCOUNTS tab
check your account
click SETUP API KEYS
run the action
confirm it was successful
then on ACCOUNTS tab, click AUTHORISE

It should just run through smoothly, But as I said, Twitter have made some breaking changes so they could be some edge cases not yet detected and handled

I've done that but nothing happens.

This is what I've done

then after I did that I clicked on some other tabs and clicked back to the accounts tab where I believe I did what you told me to do and got this.

What is wrong? What do I need to do?

When adding the account, add the account as you did BUT check DO NOT VERIFY before clicking save.

This will force the account to the program.

Now goto the ACCOUNTS tab
click CREATE API KEYS (or some text along those lines)

This will add an action to the PROCESSOR.
Run that action, (click run)
double click the action row and you will see "real time logs". It will be a line by line log of what is happening and "may" give you some info on what is failing.

But still submit your logs to me and I can tell you EXACTLY what is going on

Is there any way to get automatically the CALLBACK URL? Because If I use 1000 twitter accounts I need to log on every one to do that?! Do I miss something?! Does the new update get the CALLBACK URL automatically because I have it and in my case it doesn't! This is happening when I add new account! When I use "Generate App Keys" it does not store the callback url!

For existing accounts you do not need to do anything - they are authorised.

For new accounts, if you want to authorise them to an EXISTING API APP, you will need to get the callback URL of *THAT* API APP from apps.twitter.com

If you are going to create NEW API APPS, then you don't need to do anything, the program will do it for you automatically.

! Do I miss something?! Does the new update get the CALLBACK URL automatically because I have it and in my case it doesn't! This is happening when I add new account!
No the program will not get existing callback URLs for existing keys.
When I use "Generate App Keys" it does not store the callback url!

I think you sent the links incorrectly.

I will need full information on what you are doing and what is happening.
What API APP are you using: global / already created / creating new
Screenshots
logs

for me and others it is working. So you must be doing something differently. Or maybe doing it a slightly different way which is causing the app to go through a different flow to my tests which is where the issue is coming from.

Please, read through this post Not everything will be relevant to your issue, but have a read as it gives an idea of the information you can provide.

OK, I went to my twitter apps screen which I had created before and selected one to use then I typed in the account name and made up a password as you will see here. I've done nothing other than described in the training.
https://youtu.be/PLBiGL5Zhek

Then I thought maybe these accounts need to be created on the twitter website first, I don't know. The previous account I had only created on apps.twitter.com but not the actual twitter website. So I used an existing account as seen here. https://youtu.be/-3362IL2Oh0

I got the same error message so I tried to do it manually and copied and pasted the API key into the consumer key field (assuming they're the same) but did not know where to find the consumer secret so I stopped.

Then I went into apps.twitter.com and started to create another account. However I noticed that when I switched screens the tab at the top said access denied. Maybe this happened when I created the other accounts and has something to do with the problem. https://youtu.be/e57p2YCnGXw

When you ask me what API APP I am using I don't have an API app. I've done nothing other than you see in the screen shots as explained in the tutorial.

Here is my logs ID https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/my-drive
