What do you guys use to get alerts of tweets from influencers? is there any app or whatsapp/telegram/discord channel. I personally want to use it to get alerts on crypto related news.

Just missed the XRP opportunity after its CEO posted a message that SEC is ending case against Ripple and then XRP rallied.

EDIT : X/Twitter is blocked in Pakistan so cant use the notification feature.

You could turn on notifications for those users.

You can use a VPN with an exit node in another country.

If it's blocked, then what good are alerts? How are you reading the tweets that you'd be getting the alerts about?
