Get your mentions straight to Slack
Octolens delivers real-time, AI-filtered brand mentions to your Slack channels — routed by keyword, sentiment, or platform, so every team sees exactly the conversations it should act on.
Included on every plan • Real-time alerts • Unlimited channelsWhy teams route mentions to Slack
Real-time awareness
Get notified the moment someone mentions your brand — and jump into conversations while they're still active.
Channel-specific routing
Product mentions to the product channel, support issues to support, praise to the whole company. Routing is a filter, not a project.
Signal, not a firehose
AI relevance scoring runs before anything is posted, so channels only receive mentions that actually matter to your business.
Rich previews
Post content, sentiment label, and platform right in the message — your team can triage without clicking through.

Alerts are pushed as mentions are collected and scored — near real time. Mentions refresh hourly on Pro and in real time on Scale.
Monitoring continues unchanged — you can keep working from the dashboard, email digests, webhooks, or the API, and reconnect Slack any time.
Email digests, webhooks (great with Make, n8n, or Zapier), the REST API, and the MCP server for AI assistants — all included on every plan.
