How it works
Start by using MentionFox's Social Listening module to monitor mentions, discussions, and sentiment across 52+ platforms including Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Quora, HackerNews, niche forums, podcasts, review platforms, TikTok, YouTube, Substack, and Medium. The AI-Visibility (GEO) Measurement feature measures how visible your brand or competitors are across large language models like AI assistants, AI assistants, AI assistants, AI assistants, AI assistants, and AI assistants. Once you've identified promising conversations or gaps, use the Lead Enrichment tools to gather additional context: company details, decision-maker information, and engagement patterns. This intelligence becomes the foundation for your WhatsApp outreach strategy.
Use MentionFox's Outreach Automation module to draft personalized messages for your target audience. You retain full control: every single email or notification requires your explicit preview and click-to-send confirmation. MentionFox never auto-sends outreach. Once you've reviewed and approved your campaign, export your contact list (including phone numbers and relevant metadata captured during enrichment) from MentionFox. This list becomes your WhatsApp recipient pool, pre-qualified by MentionFox's intelligence gathering.
Push your approved MentionFox campaign to WhatsApp Business via the Business API. Send templated messages, campaign notifications, or follow-up confirmations to your leads' WhatsApp numbers. WhatsApp Business allows you to maintain conversation history, automate common responses, and track delivery and read receipts. The combination of MentionFox's research depth and WhatsApp's ubiquity and high engagement rates creates a unified B2B outreach experience. Your team can then manage ongoing conversations directly in WhatsApp, with all MentionFox intelligence available for context.
What you can do
Investor Outreach Campaign
You're raising capital and want to reach relevant investors. Use MentionFox's Investor Research module, which covers 52,000 investors globally, to identify prospects aligned with your sector and stage. Social Listening reveals which investors are discussing your market on LinkedIn, Twitter, podcasts, and forums. Enrichment pulls verified contact details. You draft a personalized introduction in Outreach Automation, review it, and click send. MentionFox records the email. Then, you export those investor phone numbers and notify them via WhatsApp Business with a brief message: 'I shared details about our Series A via email—happy to discuss.' WhatsApp's high open rate ensures your email doesn't sit in spam; the investor sees the message on their phone and is more likely to engage.
Candidate Vetting & Interview Scheduling
Your HR team uses MentionFox's Candidate Vetting module to vet job applicants across social platforms, forums, GitHub, and public discussions. You've identified a strong prospect and want to move fast. Draft an interview invitation in MentionFox's Outreach Automation, confirm it, and send the email. Simultaneously, export the candidate's phone number and send a WhatsApp notification via WhatsApp Business: 'We reviewed your application and would love to schedule a 30-minute call. Confirmed times: [link].' The candidate receives the professional email and a real-time WhatsApp prompt, reducing friction and response time. MentionFox's intelligence ensures you're reaching someone who genuinely fits your culture and needs.
Product Launch Notification to Segmented Audiences
You're launching a new feature and want to notify existing customers and engaged community members. Use MentionFox's Social Listening to track who has discussed your product, visited your sites, or engaged in relevant forums. Segment by company size, industry, or engagement level using the enrichment data. Draft a launch announcement in Outreach Automation, review the messaging, and send emails to your primary contact list. Then, use WhatsApp Business to notify a secondary segment (perhaps community managers, partners, or power users) with a brief, time-sensitive message: 'New feature live today—early access link inside.' WhatsApp's immediacy drives click-through to your announcement, and MentionFox's targeting ensures you're reaching people who actually care about your product category.
How to connect
- Step 1: Set Up WhatsApp Business Account & API Access. Register for a WhatsApp Business account (if you haven't already) at business.facebook.com or via your Meta Business Manager. Request access to the WhatsApp Business API. You'll receive API credentials (phone number ID, business account ID, access token). Store these credentials securely. Verify your business phone number and set up message templates that comply with WhatsApp's messaging policies (no spam, no unsolicited promotions without prior opt-in).
- Step 2: Export Your MentionFox Campaign & Contact List. In MentionFox, complete your Social Listening, Lead Enrichment, and Outreach research. Use the Outreach Automation module to draft and approve your campaign. Once all outreach emails are reviewed and sent (or scheduled), export your contact list as a CSV file that includes names, company details, and most importantly, WhatsApp-enabled phone numbers (in international format, e.g., +1 555 123 4567). Ensure all contacts have explicitly opted in to receive WhatsApp messages, complying with regulations in their jurisdiction.
- Step 3: Map Contacts to WhatsApp Business Lists. Import your exported MentionFox contact CSV into WhatsApp Business (via the Business API or your preferred CRM integration partner). Create a contact list or audience segment labeled with your campaign name and the MentionFox source. Tag contacts with relevant metadata from MentionFox enrichment (company, industry, engagement level) so you can segment future messages. This ensures you only message people who align with your ICP and have been pre-qualified by MentionFox intelligence.
- Step 4: Send Templated Messages via WhatsApp Business API. Using your WhatsApp Business account, send a templated message to your imported contact list. The template might reference insights from MentionFox: 'Hi [Name], we noticed your discussion about [topic] on [platform]—here's why we think our solution fits.' Include a link to your campaign landing page, video, or calendar. Track delivery, read receipts, and responses directly in WhatsApp Business. Incoming replies appear as conversations in your WhatsApp inbox; your team can respond in real time. All prior MentionFox intelligence remains available in your notes or CRM for context.
Without MentionFox
Without MentionFox, you'd manually search social platforms, forums, and investor databases for promising prospects, invest hours in enriching contacts via LinkedIn Sales Navigator or paid databases, draft generic outreach emails, and send WhatsApp notifications with no confidence that your recipients are actually interested. You'd have no data on how visible your brand is to AI models, no systematic way to vet candidates, and no unified platform to coordinate your research—resulting in wasted effort and low response rates.
