# Send a direct message (DM) — X (Twitter)

Botize method — `twitter.post_dm` (action).

Send a direct message to a user and optionally one with image or video.

- Botize does not alter, add or modify the message or the image/video.
- You can configure it to remove users, hashtags and links from the tweet.
- You can configure it to avoid duplicate content.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `screen_name` *(string)* — Account Name
- `message` *(string)* — Message
- `image` *(string)* — Image or Video URL
- `remove_users` *(boolean)* — Remove following data from the tweet
- `remove_links` *(boolean)* — Users
- `remove_hashtags` *(boolean)* — Links

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{tweet_id}}` *(text)* — Tweet Id
