Social media monitoring

(This feature is currently in beta; details are subject to change.)

Buttondown monitors social media for mentions of your newsletter. When we find someone mentioning your newsletter, we'll send you an email notification (that you can opt out of, of course) and include a link to the post in your dashboard.

This lets you know when people are talking about your newsletter online, without you having to go trawling social media yourself. Additionally, you'll be able to view trends and analytics to get a better understanding of how your newsletter is doing on social media.

While this feature is in beta, it's available to all customers. Once it leaves beta, it will be available to paying customers only.

We determine whether or not a post is coming from you or from someone else by checking your social networks that you list under Your URLs in the design settings page.

Webmentions are a way to get notifications when people mention your website on other sites. It's built on an open standard, and supported by most blogging platforms... but adoption outside the blogging world is relatively low, and this feature is meant to fill in the gaps.

(Networks marked "no" are not supported because they don't offer a public API for searching content.)
