FAQ

What is Boolean Search?
Boolean Search enables you to enhance the quality of your results and monitor more precisely by using operators like AND, NOT, and OR. For example, you can set 'breakfast NOT egg' as an alert. Standard alerts offer a simplified Boolean query builder, while Advanced Alerts allow up to 2,000 characters for custom Boolean queries.
What's the difference between alerts and mentions?
An alert is a keyword or set of keywords that Mention will search for across the web and social media. A mention is a result that the search finds – for example, if your alert is your company name, mentions are the online conversations talking about it.
How do I know when there are new mentions?
You receive notifications via email or desktop push notifications. Notification settings can be adjusted in your account.
Can I use Mention on my own website?
Yes. Mention provides an API for custom integrations. Detailed documentation is available at https://dev.mention.com.
Do you offer discounts for NGOs?
Yes, Mention offers discounts for non-profit organizations. Interested parties should contact sales for details.
Why can't I access the 'Publish' and 'Respond' features in Mention anymore?
Mention has decided to progressively deprecate the Publish and Respond features to streamline services and focus on core monitoring and analytics. The company now recommends Agorapulse for publishing and responding needs.
What should I use instead of Mention for publishing and responding?
Mention recommends using Agorapulse, which is designed to provide a comprehensive suite of tools for managing social media effectively.
