Build a brand mention alert that posts to Slack
The same BatchData team member told Sacra they used Replit to build a social listening tool that alerts the team in Slack whenever their brand name or key keywords are mentioned online.
What they did
Instead of paying for a monitoring product, they built a small app on Replit that watches for a set list of keywords and brand terms and sends a Slack notification so marketing can join those conversations. They also built calculators and moved them onto the public marketing website as free resources.
What happened
He says the tool notifies the team in Slack whenever the tracked terms come up, and that adoption at the company is mainly in marketing and revenue operations.
Keep in mind
No detail on which sources it watches, how noisy the alerts are, or how much work it takes to maintain. He says someone semi-technical is needed to get good results.
Try it with your agent
Build a small app that checks <the sources you care about, for example news search, Reddit or review sites> every <interval> for mentions of <your brand name and keywords>. Post each new mention to <Slack channel> with the source, a one-line summary and the link, and skip duplicates. Add a simple page where I can edit the keyword list.
Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
