Automatically posting SE achievements to Twitter

Question

I would like my (positive) achievements in SE sites to be automatically posted to my Twitter account (or to other social networks).

Is there a way to do this?

(a draft of a possible answer is given in comments)

Answer 1

I've managed to create a RSS feed for my reputation changes in a specific SE site (which probably makes more sense than a global RSS feed). These are the steps:

1. Figure out your user ID for the SE site you are interested in. Recall that you have a different user ID number in each SE site!

2. The RSS feed is:

http://stack2rss.quickmediasolutions.com/2.2/users/[INSERT USER ID HERE]/reputation?site=[INSERT THE SE SITE HERE],

as documented in http://stack2rss.quickmediasolutions.com/ and http://api.stackexchange.com/docs .

3. Create a new applet (formerly recipe) in IFTTT, using the aforementioned RSS feed as a trigger and the Twitter (or your favourite social network) channel as an action.

This is a possible text to be used in the Twitter channel:

New achievement in my StackExchange [INSERT THE SE SITE HERE] account: {{EntryTitle}} {{EntryUrl}}

NOTE: Instead of just inserting the name of the SE site in your tweet, you could include a mention to the corresponding official twitter account. The list of all official twitter accounts of SE sites can be found here: https://stackexchange.com/sites?view=list, as pointed out by @adam-lear in https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/264548/201289.

For instance,

• my feed for reputation changes in SE LaTeX site is: http://stack2rss.quickmediasolutions.com/2.2/users/8283/reputation?site=tex, and
• my feed for reputation changes in SE Mathematica site is: http://stack2rss.quickmediasolutions.com/2.2/users/13810/reputation?site=mathematica.
