Monitor

In your account, the Monitor Feature includes the Basic Alert and access to the Mention Feed. You can utilize the Basic Alert to monitor the web and social media. Once mentions are fetched, the Feed will display your data where you can review your data.

Here is a breakdown of your features:

--

Basic Alerts:

Basic Alerts will monitor the web for new data after you create an alert. You can use these alerts to monitor your brand, a competitor, or any topic that interests you.

These alerts monitor the web and social media in two ways:

  • Keyword Monitoring: Mention will search for text or phrases that you write in your alert. If the text or phrases appear in a web post or social media post, it will be brought into your Feed.

  • Monitored Pages: Within your alert, you can add the URL of social media accounts and review websites. Any time these accounts or review sites post, Mention will fetch the post into your account.

Through a Mention Alert, you can monitor the following Sources:

  • Web : general public websites

  • News : local and major news websites

  • Blogs : minor and major blog websites across the web

  • Forums : minor and major forum websites across the web

  • Reddit : public sub-reddits

  • Videos: public video hosting sites

  • Twitter/X : public tweets from the social media platform

  • Instagram: public posts from the social media platform

❗ On the Solo Subscription, you cannot monitor this data:

Mention Feed

Once you begin fetching data, you will have access to the Mention Feed. The Feed is where you will be able to review all of the mentions that you've received on your alerts.

The Feed is built like an email inbox where you can navigate through your alerts, preview mentions, and curate your content:

As you navigate the Feed, you can review all of online publications that are posting about the topics you are monitoring. On your subscription, the Feed is going to be your main area for reviewing content that is relevant to your monitoring needs.

💡 Once you create an Alert, you will be able to access the Feed. To learn more about the Feed, check these articles out:

Optimization

Within your Solo plan, you will have access to resources that will enhance your Monitor and Social Media Management features. These optimization features include filters in the Feed and email notifications. Below, you will see a breakdown of these features:

--

Mention Feed - Saved Filters

Within the Feed, you have access to multiple data filters to adjust the view of your mentions. If you create a filter that you particularly like, you can store it as a Saved Filter in your alert. Saved Filters are time-savers because they will remain in your Feed at all times and you can access them as soon as you log into Mention with ease.

Mention Feed - Automatic Tags

While Saved Filters organizes mentions by data filters, you can use Automatic Tags to organize mentions by the text that appears in the publications.

Within your Alert Settings, you can create an Automatic Tag to mark any mentions that use particular words or phrases. In your Feed, these marked tags will appear in a dedicated folder for you to review at any time.
