One part of my app enables users to send commands to my twitter account and the twitter account responds appropriately. I have just seen one instance where a user send one of these commands, but when trying to send an automated response the app was met with the above error message.

  1. Yes, it is automated, thats the point
  2. Why would it be spam if the user sent a message first?

Is there a best practice or guidance to prevent this? Not just in DM’s I’ve had this error happen after somebody sends a tweet to the account and the account attempts to respond.
