Drop Twitter Links into a Page or in Collections and have the tweet auto-expand

WordPress, Coda, and Notion all offer the ability to drop a Twitter link into their editors and have the link auto-expand.

With Webflow, one needs to grab code from Twitter and then paste as custom code. This adds time to workflows and one can't see the full results unless published.

A partial work-around is to post a link into the location field when working with a Collection, but the content is sometimes cut off if it is a long tweet.

Would like to see Webflow offer support to embed tweets into pages and Collection items.

    By design, collections do not implement specific rules or logic for sourcing or adding Tweets, leaving that strategy entirely up to you. For example if you want a collection that sources Myhdfs.com Tweets from multiple lists + a search + your own secret sauce, you can build that easily using the API.
