From your Mautic dashboard, click the settings (gear) icon in the top right, and then click on Plugins. Click on the Twitter plugin icon. In the box that pops up, copy the callback URL. - Finish creating your Twitter app
Switch back to creating your Twitter app, and paste the callback URL into the appropriate field. Click “Create your Twitter application” to create your app. - Get your Twitter API key and secret
