Creating a Saved Search

Overview

Saved searches tell Trigify what conversations to monitor. Each search targets a source, query, frequency, and result limit, then adds matching posts to your Listening feed.

How to start

  1. Go to Listening.

  2. Open the saved-search area.

  3. Create a new saved search.

  4. Choose the source you want to monitor.

Step 1: Name and source

Give the search a clear name. Good names include the topic, source, and purpose, for example:

  • Competitor Mentions - Reddit

  • AI SDR Pain Points - Business Network

  • Substack Category Narratives

Choose the source that best matches the signal you want: Business Network for B2B context, Reddit for community pain points, X for fast reactions, Substack for long-form narratives, and so on.

Step 2: Query and filters

Add the keywords or profile/source details Trigify should monitor. Keep searches broad enough to collect useful data. Workflows can do the precise qualification later.

Step 3: Frequency and max results

Set how often the search should run and how many results it should collect per run.

  • New social listening searches may default to Bi-Daily frequency.

  • New searches may default to 100 max results, subject to per-source limits.

  • Higher frequency and higher result limits can use more credits.

After creating the search

  1. Open the search in Listening.

  2. Review the feed for quality and noise.

  3. Edit keywords or filters if the results are too broad or too narrow.

  4. Attach the search to a workflow once the result quality is good enough to automate.

Best practices

  • Use one search per distinct source or signal type.

  • Avoid cramming too many unrelated keywords into one search.

  • Use NOT terms only for obvious noise.

  • Test with real results before building a workflow.
