As shown in the image, implementing live Twitter feed in the email allows you to fetch the latest tweet of the respective Twitter handle.
It gets updated automatically whenever the user tweets. It means if the email was sent on Monday, it will fetch the latest tweet that was posted on Monday. Now, if the subscriber opens the same email on Thursday, they will be able to see the latest tweet(done on Thursday) in their email.
On clicking the feed, the subscriber will be redirected to that particular Twitter account.
It is a helpful asset to drive more organic followers and engagement on your Twitter handle.
