Twitter bot that regularly posts screenshots of a given webpage

I'd like to create a bot that will, at regular intervals, take screenshots of a particular web page and then post those screenshots to Twitter. I'm tech-savvy but not a coder, so I'm looking for something as simple and off-the-shelf as possible, if it exists. Thanks!

One hacky way to do it would be to use zapier to create a webhook that combine something like cloudinary or cloudconvert (or any "website to png" available api) and post it to twitter. Then use an online cron service like easycron to call a zapier webhook that triggers the transformation/post regularly.
If you're only doing it a few times a day, you should remain in the free tier of each service, without having to write any code.

A combination of IFFT and Zapier can probably do this?
