How it works
Set up a webhook in n8n that listens for new mentions detected by MentionFox across your tracked keywords. When a mention arrives, n8n can parse the data and immediately post it to a Slack channel, enriching your team with real-time context. You can filter by sentiment, source platform (Reddit, LinkedIn, X, HackerNews, etc.), or mention volume to reduce noise and focus on high-priority signals.
Use MentionFox's lead enrichment module to gather intelligence on prospects across social, professional, and review platforms. Build an n8n workflow that accepts a lead list, calls MentionFox for enriched data, and automatically creates or updates contact records in your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, etc.). Include fields for mention count, platforms active on, and engagement patterns to personalize outreach.
MentionFox's outreach automation always requires manual user review and click-to-send before any email is sent. Design an n8n workflow that collects daily outreach candidates from MentionFox, generates a summary document, and sends it to your sales team for approval. Once approved, n8n can trigger the send action in MentionFox, ensuring every outreach respects your review standards and compliance requirements.
What you can do
Investor Research Workflow
Your venture team uses MentionFox to monitor 52,000+ investors and measure their portfolio thesis through public mentions. Set up an n8n automation that detects when an investor is active in your target domain, enriches their recent activity across platforms, and creates a brief in your internal wiki or Notion workspace. Combine this with news site monitoring and podcast platform tracking to build a comprehensive view before outreach.
Candidate Vetting at Scale
HR teams can use n8n to trigger MentionFox candidate vetting checks during hiring workflows. When a candidate is added to your applicant tracking system, send their name to MentionFox to scan 52+ platforms for public mentions, reviews, and social activity. Route the summary report back to your ATS or email for reviewer decision-making—n8n orchestrates the full sequence without manual steps between tools.
AI Model Visibility Benchmarking
MentionFox measures AI-Visibility (GEO) across AI assistants, AI assistants, AI assistants, AI assistants, AI assistants, and AI assistants by analyzing 853+ daily conversations. Use n8n to schedule weekly or monthly benchmark runs, export the results to a data warehouse or spreadsheet, and alert your product team when your visibility dips below target or competitors surge. Combine with your own product mentions to track competitive positioning.
How to connect
- Generate and Configure Your MentionFox Webhook. Log into your MentionFox account and navigate to the Integrations or API section. Create a new webhook endpoint by specifying a trigger event (e.g., new mention detected, outreach ready, lead enriched). Copy your webhook URL. In n8n, create a new workflow and add a Webhook node set to POST or GET (check MentionFox docs for method). Paste the MentionFox webhook URL into the n8n node and save the endpoint URL that n8n generates. Return to MentionFox and paste the n8n endpoint URL to complete the connection.
- Map MentionFox Data Fields to n8n. After connecting, test the webhook by triggering an event in MentionFox (e.g., create a test mention or run a lead enrichment). n8n will receive the payload and display the data structure. Use the n8n JSON view to inspect all available fields: mention text, source platform, timestamp, mention URL, sentiment, enrichment fields (LinkedIn profile, website, company, location), investor data, or outreach candidate scores. Document which fields you need for downstream actions (CRM sync, Slack notification, database insert) and add a Function or Set node to extract and transform them.
- Build Your Multi-Step Workflow Logic. Add conditional nodes (If/Then) to route data based on criteria. For example, if source platform is Reddit and sentiment is high, send to a fast-track approval queue; if it's HackerNews and mentions your product, notify the founder. Use switch nodes to segment leads by enrichment score or investor profile tier. Add nodes to enrich the payload further (e.g., look up CRM records, fetch company data from your own database) before sending to destinations. Test end-to-end with sample MentionFox data.
- Connect Destination Tools and Deploy. Add credential nodes for your downstream tools: Slack (paste bot token), HubSpot (API key), Salesforce (OAuth), Notion (API key), or any database. Map n8n payload fields to the input fields required by each destination. For example, if routing to HubSpot, map MentionFox mention URL to a custom field and enriched email to the contact email field. Activate the workflow and monitor execution logs. Start with small data volumes or test triggers to ensure quality before scaling to production. Remember: MentionFox never auto-sends outreach, so your n8n workflow should reflect manual review steps or approval gates where needed.
Without MentionFox
Without connecting MentionFox to n8n, your team must manually log into MentionFox, check each mention or enriched lead, copy data into spreadsheets, and manually paste into your CRM or communication tools—creating bottlenecks, data entry errors, and delayed response times. Cross-platform intelligence becomes fragmented and reactive instead of actionable and continuous.
