Search Frequency

Overview

Search frequency controls how often Trigify runs a saved search to find new matching content. Each run checks the selected source, applies your query and filters, then adds new matches to the Listening feed.

Default frequency

New social listening searches may default to Bi-Daily. This is a balanced default: frequent enough to keep results fresh without running as aggressively as hourly or daily monitoring.

Common frequency options

Frequency

Use when

Hourly / high frequency

You need near-real-time monitoring and accept higher usage.

Daily

You want fresh results every day for active topics.

Bi-Daily

You want a balanced default for most saved searches.

Weekly

You are tracking slower-moving topics or want lower usage.

How frequency affects credits

Each run can return posts. Returned posts use credits. A high-frequency search with a broad query can therefore use more credits than a lower-frequency or narrower search.

Best practices

  • Use Bi-Daily or Daily for active GTM monitoring.

  • Use Weekly for research topics or low-urgency monitoring.

  • Lower max results if a search returns too much volume.

  • Review result quality before increasing frequency.
