Twitter monitoring for the mentions worth answering

Rumoro searches X for your brand, competitors and topics every hour, reads every post and reply, and sends the ones that need you to Slack, a webhook or your AI agent. Tagged or not.

Illustrative posts
  • Posts + replies

    Quote posts too. Reposts are skipped, so one viral post doesn't arrive fifty times.

  • Every hour

    Each keyword is searched again from where the last check stopped.

  • 0–100

    Relevance against your company, with sentiment and intent on every post.

  • Day one

    A new keyword reads back the newest 10 from the last 30 days straight away.

How it works

How Twitter monitoring works in Rumoro

Three steps, set up once in the dashboard or with one API call. After that, nothing to watch.

Linear

+ issue+ roadmap− algebra

Add a keyword

Your brand, a competitor or a topic. When the name is an everyday word, add the words that should and shouldn’t appear with it.

Rumoro searches X every hour

Through the official X API, picking up where the last check stopped. Each new post is scored against how you describe your company.

  • Moving our sprint planning into Linear…88
  • Solve this linear equation for x…3
  • Linear’s roadmap view is so good…74

The ones that matter reach you

Each alert sets its own relevance bar and can filter on sentiment and intent, from buying intent and comparisons to bug reports, churn and praise, then posts to Slack, Telegram, email, a webhook or your agent.

What reaches you

Anatomy of an X mention alert

Everything needed to decide in a few seconds whether to answer, and the link to do it.

  1. 1

    The headline

    The strongest signal first: a buying signal, comparison, complaint, bug report, question or praise, always with your keyword.

  2. 2

    The context line

    Platform, keyword, sentiment and every intent, so a busy channel can be scanned in seconds.

  3. 3

    The post and its parent

    The full text with the author linked. A reply brings the post it answers, so you know the conversation before you open X.

  4. 4

    Why it matters

    One line on what the post means for you, written from how you describe your company.

  5. 5

    One-click actions

    Open the post on X, open it in Rumoro, mark it handled, or mute the author for that channel.

Beyond alerts

Twitter tracking beyond the alert

Compare yourself with competitors, get to know the people talking, and keep every keyword worth what it costs.

Your share of voice

Follow competitors alongside your own brand and see your share of voice on X move week by week.

The people behind the mentions

Every author becomes a person with reach, your tags and notes, and all their mentions.

Posts that link to you

Rumoro keeps every link in a post. Filter by your domain to find tutorials and reviews you'd otherwise miss.

Engagement filters

Alert only on posts that travel: minimum likes, reposts, replies, quotes, views or bookmarks.

Keyword health

See whether a keyword earns what it costs, what its noise is made of, and what to exclude.

Needs attention

An hourly watch for mention spikes, negative spikes, noisy keywords and failing channels.

Digests for quieter keywords

One daily or weekly round-up in Slack, Telegram or email instead of an alert per post.

Views, filters and export

Filter by sentiment, intent, language or author, save the view, and export it as CSV.

X MCP, API, SDKs and CLI

Coverage, alerts and cost

Twitter monitoring questions

What is Twitter monitoring?

Twitter monitoring means searching X for your brand, your competitors or a topic on a schedule, keeping each new post, and getting told about the ones that need you. A monitoring tool runs those searches for you and filters out posts that only share your keyword. Some people call it a Twitter tracker or a tweet tracker.

How do I track Twitter mentions without an @tag?

Add your brand or product name as a keyword. Rumoro looks for that text in X posts and replies, tagged or not. Other spellings need their own keywords, and required and excluded words keep a common name from matching unrelated posts.

What is a free tool for monitoring Twitter mentions?

Every Rumoro account starts with $5.80 of credit and no card: your first keyword for a month and 100 mentions on top, on X and every other platform. After that it's $5 a keyword a month and $0.008 per match, with no subscription to cancel.

How are Twitter keyword alerts different from advanced search?

Advanced search is a search you run yourself, once. Monitoring repeats it every hour, keeps only new posts and scores each one. Alerts then apply your rules, such as a minimum relevance or an intent like question or comparison, and send the posts that pass to your chosen channel.

Can I get Twitter alerts in Slack?

Yes. Connect Slack once and each alert rule posts its matches to a channel: the headline, sentiment and intent, the post with its author and their follower count, the AI relevance score, a note on why it matters and buttons to open the post, mark it handled or mute the author. Telegram, email digests and webhooks work the same way.

What replaced TweetDeck for keyword alerts?

TweetDeck became X Pro, and since March 2026 it's only part of X Premium+. It still means keeping columns open and checking them. Rumoro does the checking: each keyword is searched every hour, and only the posts that pass your alert rules reach Slack, Telegram, email, a webhook or your agent.

How is this different from Google Alerts?

Google Alerts emails you about new web pages Google indexes; it doesn't follow new posts on X. Rumoro searches X itself every hour, scores each post against your company and sends the ones that matter where you work.

Can I filter X mentions by likes or views?

Yes. An alert can require a minimum number of likes, reposts, replies, quotes, views or bookmarks, so only posts that travel reach you. The counts are the ones X reported when the post was collected.

How often does Rumoro check X?

Every hour for each keyword, up to the newest 100 posts per check, so a burst bigger than that is read up to its newest 100. A new keyword also reads back the newest 10 from the last 30 days, billed as normal mentions.

Does Rumoro use the official X API?

Yes. Each keyword is searched through X API v2 every hour, and a new keyword's look-back uses its full-archive search. Replies arrive with the post they answer, so the thread reads in context.

What does Rumoro collect from X?

Public posts, replies and quote posts that contain your keyword; reposts are left out, and a quoted post's text alone doesn't make the quoting post match. Each mention keeps its link, author and reach, engagement counts and, for a reply, the post it answers.

Do I need an X account or my own X API key?

No. Rumoro collects from X with its own server-side access. You don't connect an X account and nothing is posted in your name.

Can I monitor a specific Twitter account?

Rumoro follows keywords rather than an account's timeline. Add a person's or company's name as a keyword to catch posts about them; to keep an account's posts out of a channel, mute the author.

How much does Twitter monitoring cost?

$5 per keyword a month, charged by the day, plus $0.008 per matched post. There's no subscription: you top up a balance, and a new account starts with $5.80 of credit and no card.

Is there an X (Twitter) MCP server for brand mentions?

Rumoro's is one. Its MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client tools to search, filter and triage your X mentions next to every other platform, so an agent can pull this week's questions or negative posts and draft the replies. X's own hosted MCP is different: it calls the X API on your account and doesn't score or filter anything for you.
