The whitelist
Only whitelisted accounts trigger the agent. Mentions from anyone else are filtered out at X. An empty whitelist means no replies.

What the whitelist does
Only whitelisted accounts trigger a reply. Mentions from anyone else are filtered out at X: no reply and no X cost.
An empty whitelist means the agent replies to no one. Every agent starts empty and does not connect to X until a handle is saved. The tab shows No users whitelisted. Your bot won't respond to anyone until you add at least one handle.
Adding handles
- Set the Telegram / Twitter switch to Twitter and pick the agent under Currently managing:.
- Open the Whitelist tab.
- Click Add Users. On a screen 480 px wide or narrower the button reads Add.
- In Add users to whitelist, paste the handles. Put one per line, or separate them with spaces or commas.
- Check the preview. It shows
N new,N already on list,N rejected:andAfter save: N / 200 whitelisted. - Click Add N user(s).
Rejected handles are left out and not saved. The button is disabled when nothing is new or the list would pass 200. Add Users is disabled at 200, with the tooltip Max 200 reached.
Handle format
| Setting | Accepts | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Handle | An X handle, not a numeric ID: letters, digits and underscore, 1 to 15 characters. A leading @ is optional and case is ignored. | Required |
| Separators | Line breaks, spaces or commas | None |
| Duplicates | Removed | None |
| List | Up to 200 handles | Empty |
Removing handles
Each row shows the handle, linked to its X profile, and a trash icon. Click the trash icon to remove the handle. There is no confirmation. A spinner shows while the change saves.
Warning
Removing every handle stops all replies.
Every save replaces the whole list. If two sessions edit the list at once, the last save wins.
Saving
While saving, the banner shows Adding users… or Removing user…. It then shows one of two results and clears after 3 seconds.
| Banner | Meaning |
|---|---|
Saved + live | The running agent has the new list |
Saved (bot will pick up next reload) | The list is saved. The agent applies it at its next reload, which saving the whitelist again triggers |
The first save that contains a handle starts the agent's connection to X.
Limits
| Limit | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Handles saved | 200 | The preview shows After save: N / 200 whitelisted |
| Handle length | 1 to 15 characters | Longer handles are rejected |
