Brand mention alerts for the posts worth interrupting you for.

Nobody refreshes a listening dashboard every hour. Mentionfront scores each new mention, and when one reaches the threshold you set, it posts it to Slack, Discord or your team's inbox, the channels you already watch. Everything below the line waits quietly in the feed.

Second Glowbar order in a row that arrived damaged and still no response from support.

Two alerts from one morning's check. The other 40 new mentions stayed in the feed.

One number decides what pings you.

Every mention gets a priority score from 0 to 100, and the biggest factor is intent. This chart shows roughly where each intent scores when a post clearly names something you track. Anything to the right of your threshold becomes an alert.

85: Only the urgent ones

Buyers, switchers and complaints. Good for a busy brand, or a channel your whole company can see.

70: The default

Adds "should I buy it?" questions and price objections. A good starting point for a social or CX team channel.

60: Everything useful

Adds praise and product feedback. Only makes sense at low volume, or when alerts go to a dedicated channel nobody mutes.

A near match (a plural of your term, say) scores about 28 points lower, so it stays below the default line.

Same alert, three channels.

Every alert has the essentials to decide in a few seconds: who posted, where, the score, the text, and a link to the original post. Turn on as many channels as you want. Each is switched on separately.

Does the Glowbar night balm work on oily skin or is it too heavy?

Slack

Posts to the channel you pick when you create a Slack incoming webhook. The poster's name links to the original post.

An embed in any channel you make a webhook for. Good for brands whose community already lives on a Discord server.

Email

Sent to every confirmed member of your workspace. No setup, so it's the fastest channel to turn on.

Connected in about five minutes.

01

Create a webhook

Slack: create an app at api.slack.com/apps, turn on Incoming Webhooks, and add one for your channel. Discord: Channel settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook. Email needs nothing.

02

Paste it into Alerts and set it to Realtime

Each channel has its own on/off switch and frequency. Realtime sends one alert per mention that crosses your threshold.

03

Drag the threshold

Start at 70. Come back after a week: raise it if the channel got noisy, lower it if you found good mentions in the feed that never alerted.

04

Send a test alert

Each channel has a test button that sends a sample right away, so you can see the format before a real one arrives.

An alert channel people mute catches nothing.

An alert on every keyword match sounds thorough. Within a week the channel is muted, and the one complaint that mattered goes unseen with the rest.

A threshold based on intent works the other way around. A shopper at checkout or a customer with a damaged order gets through. A passing "saw Glowbar at the airport" doesn't. When every alert in the channel is worth acting on, people keep reading it.

A few details keep it dependable:

  • One broken channel doesn't block the others. If a Slack webhook gets deleted, Discord and email still deliver.
  • Webhook URLs are encrypted and only accepted for Slack's and Discord's own domains.
  • Competitor mentions alert too. A high-scoring post about a competitor comes through the same way.

What happens after the ping.

Questions about alerts

How quickly does an alert arrive after someone posts?
An alert goes out as soon as a mention is collected and scored. New posts are collected each time a platform is checked, which happens on a schedule, so an alert can arrive hours after the post went live. That's still sooner than waiting for someone to open a dashboard, but it isn't instant.
Will I get an alert for every mention?
No, only for mentions at or above your threshold. At the default of 70, that typically means purchase intent, switching, complaints, recommendation requests and objections that clearly name something you track. Praise and general chatter stay in the feed.
Can I use Slack, Discord and email at the same time?
Yes. Each channel is switched on and set up separately, and an alert goes to every channel that's on.
Who gets the email alerts?
Every confirmed member of the workspace. To send alerts to one shared address instead, use a Slack or Discord channel that the right people watch.
What's in an alert?
The poster's name, the platform, the priority score, the text (up to 280 characters in Slack and Discord, 600 in email) and a link to the original post.
Can I try it before relying on it?
Yes. Every channel has a Send test alert button on the Alerts page. If the webhook is misconfigured, it tells you exactly what went wrong.
