Documentation
Instruction-ready detail below
Listening tools collect everything from the brand name to a misspelt version of it, and nobody can tell from the pile which mentions need a person today. This workflow watches the tracked terms across social, news, and review sites, drops the obvious noise, and groups what is left by whether it is a question, a complaint, a recommendation, or a mention worth filing. Anything that reads as a problem, or that arrives from an account with reach, is put at the top of a reply queue with the thread, the source, and a suggested owner attached. Quietly positive coverage is filed by theme with the link kept, so it can be used in a pitch or a report later. The alert that fires for a single complaint also fires when one thread starts pulling replies from strangers, which is the point at which most teams notice. What a human still decides is what gets said in public, whether an issue is worth escalating, and who speaks for the brand; the workflow finds the mention, judges how it reads, and hands it to a person.
