Use Mention's brand signals to trigger targeted Responsly surveys when it matters most
Mention is the real-time brand monitoring tool that surfaces what people are saying about your company across social, forums, blogs, and the web. Responsly adds the structured-follow-up layer — turning public signals into detailed feedback.
For brand, community, and customer marketing teams running Mention, this integration connects passive listening to active engagement.
Where Mention and Responsly combine
Negative mention context
A complaint on Twitter rarely reveals the full story. Reaching out with a short survey captures product, account, and improvement context.
Positive mention amplification
Enthusiastic mentions flag promoters. Case-study and testimonial surveys follow up — their advocacy is already demonstrated.
Trend-driven surveys
A spike in mentions around a feature triggers rapid customer surveys to understand whether the sentiment is broadly shared or concentrated.
Influencer relationship signal
Influencers who mention the brand get relationship surveys. Understanding what resonates with them guides future partnership motions.
Crisis response
During a surge of negative sentiment, rapid customer surveys capture structured context for root-cause work while PR manages the story.
Setup
- Configure Mention alerts for priority keywords and sentiment.
- Build tiered surveys for different alert types.
- Pipe alerts via automation to Responsly send actions.
- Tag survey responses with alert source and type.
- Review brand signal data in Responsly alongside Mention dashboards.
Practices
Respond to real people, not platforms. DM or email outreach works better than public replies for survey sends.
Tier your response. Not every mention warrants a survey; focus on high-signal ones.
Move quickly. Signal decays; acting within hours matters.
Segment by sentiment. Promoter and detractor surveys ask different questions.
Close the loop publicly when appropriate. “We heard you, we fixed it” earns more goodwill than silent resolution.
Brand signal to structured feedback
Connect Responsly to Mention and passive monitoring becomes active understanding. The brand team stops guessing about what mentions mean — and starts acting on structured signal that ties public conversation to product reality.
