I’ve been running my lyric bot for over two years and made it with the SSBot 0.4 template in Google Sheets. I made it shortly before Twitter changed how bots were made/operated, and despite that it seemed to have been grandfathered in and continued working just fine. Now it’s suddenly stopped working right as a new album has come out and I need to add more tweets to the list.

Is it possible to migrate the bot to the newer format? Was it automatically added in already? (Or just fix it as-is?) I’m a complete novice at this as I’m sure you can tell. I just want to get the bot back up and running for my followers :')

I’m not entirely sure what information would be helpful, but I’d be happy to provide anything, just let me know.

ALSO: Sorry if this is the wrong category, I honestly have no idea what any of them mean and just tried to choose the one that seemed the least wrong.

Do you have an approved developer account?

What error(s) are you seeing in Google Sheets or in the script you are running?

Thank you for replying! I don’t know if my dev account is approved, would you know where to direct me to get approved or check?

The bot actually seems to have started up again, but I’d love to know how to prevent issues or make things better in the future if you have any insights.

I recieved this email just a couple of hours before the bot stopped posting yesterday. I’ve gotten them a few times in the past, but if the bot stopped posting it wasn’t for long enough that I noticed. If there’s a better way to show any errors from Sheets let me know and I can get that info.

if you have a developer account you should be able to log into https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard and see your app configs.

I can’t really tell what the error could be because the spreadsheet errors don’t say what the twitter API error code is, if any - maybe this is a question for the spreadsheet repo GitHub - zachwhalen/ssbot: A Google Spreadsheet engine for a Twitter bot.
