The problem it solves

People mention your company on social media and you find out days later, if at all, because checking constantly is not realistic. By the time you notice, the moment to respond has often passed.

Who it fits

Small businesses and community managers who want to catch social media mentions in real time.

How it works

  1. Every ten minutes, the system searches Twitter for mentions of your company name
  2. Mentions from outside that ten-minute window are filtered out
  3. Each new mention is posted to a Slack channel with the tweet text and link
What you get

Brand mentions caught as they happen

New mentions of your company on Twitter get posted straight to Slack every ten minutes, so your team never misses one.

What you get

A running feed in Slack of fresh mentions of your company on Twitter.

What you need

A Twitter account and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
