What it does

Gives every spike a permanent, structured record. Instead of ephemeral alerts, each surge becomes an Airtable row capturing when it happened, how big it got, what drove it, and a link to the evidence — so the team can triage now and review patterns later.

When to use it

Use this when you need an auditable history of brand events: to spot recurring flashpoints, report spike frequency to leadership, or hand new spikes to an analyst with a consistent intake format. Pairs well with an alerting workflow.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires hourly.
  2. 2Apify pulls the latest mentions and the spike check evaluates the window.
  3. 3If a spike is confirmed, top posts are ranked and peak volume plus a quick sentiment score are computed.
  4. 4A new Airtable record is created with the timestamp, peak count, sentiment, top-post links, and a status of "Needs triage."
  5. 5A short Slack ping notifies the on-call comms person that a new spike was logged and is ready to assess.
