As Mention continues to focus on delivering the industry’s best social listening and insights, we retired our social publishing and engagement features (Publish & Respond) on January 30, 2026.
Below is everything you need to know, plus how to get started with Agorapulse, the official recommended replacement for all publishing and engagement activities.
Why We Discontinued Publish & Respond
Over the past few years, one thing has been clear: Mention users rely on us most for deep listening and actionable insights. Our monitoring, alerts, Feed, and reporting tools are unmatched for tracking brand mentions, competitor activity, and audience sentiment across the web.
Social media management, however, requires a different level of technical integration, workflow depth, and platform coverage that deserve their own focused home. Rather than splitting our efforts, we made the decision to focus 100% on listening, and direct our Publish & Respond users to a tool built specifically for that job.
By sunsetting Publish & Respond in Mention, we're ensuring that:
Your listening and analytics remain powerful in Mention
Your publishing and engagement can be managed in a more complete, more advanced solution
Each platform focuses on what it does best: Mention for listening, Agorapulse for social media management
What's Changing
As of January 30, 2026:
You can no longer create, schedule, or publish posts from Mention
You can no longer reply to or manage conversations from Mention
Your monitoring, alerts, Feed, and Analytics continue to work normally
If you previously used Publish & Respond, you’ll need a new home for your publishing and engagement workflows.
Why Agorapulse Is Your New Home for Social Media Publishing
Since Mention and Agorapulse are now part of the same company, Agorapulse is the official recommended replacement for all publishing and engagement activities.
It includes everything that was available in Mention, plus far more advanced capabilities. Here’s how Agorapulse compares:

Broader Social Network Support
One of Agorapulse's biggest advantages is platform coverage. While Mention's Publish & Respond supported a limited set of networks, Agorapulse connects to virtually every major social platform—including ones Mention never supported.
Networks you can manage in Agorapulse:
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Google, Bluesky, Threads, and more.
This means you can centralize your entire social presence in one tool, no matter which platforms your audience uses. If your strategy is expanding to emerging networks like TikTok or Bluesky, Agorapulse has you covered.
