Publish anywhere. Report everywhere.
Articles go straight to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix (beta) or any signed webhook. Alerts land in Slack and email, data flows through a REST API, and reports and exports go wherever your team works.
Straight to your site, on schedule.
Connect your CMS once. Approved articles publish with their title, meta description, featured image and structured data, and every attempt lands in the publish log.

Anything else
If it takes a webhook or calls an API, it works.
Point a webhook at any HTTPS endpoint — your own service or an automation tool — or pull metrics into your BI with the API.
Know the moment the answer changes.
Alerts fire only when a change is bigger than the noise — so the channel stays useful.
Slack, in one paste.
Add a Slack incoming-webhook URL in Settings → Integrations. Warning and critical alerts post there with a link straight to the brand’s dashboard; informational ones stay in the app and in webhooks.
- Visibility drops beyond the margin of error
- Competitors overtaking you, lost or gained prompts
- New sites that cite competitors but not you
- Runs that failed or came back incomplete
Available on every paid plan; owners and admins manage it. How alerts work

Email that earns its place.
Alert emails reach everyone on your team who wants them — each person controls their own notifications — and a weekly digest summarises every brand in the workspace each Monday.
- Per-person notification preferences
- Monday digest across all brands
- Unsubscribe links on alert, digest and report emails
- Client logins never receive alert emails
Signed events, delivered.
Add HTTPS endpoints, pick the events you care about and verify every delivery with an HMAC signature. Available on Growth and up.
Events
run.completedA tracking run finished — with the new score, margin and mention rate
alert.createdA visibility alert fired: drop, gain, competitor overtake, lost prompts, new gap domains, run problems
recommendations.createdThis week’s recommendations are ready

- run.completed

Built to be relied on
- Respond 2xx within 10 seconds; anything else is retried with exponential backoff
- Every event has a unique id — de-duplicate retries on it
- Endpoints pause automatically after 20 consecutive failures
- “Send test event” checks your handler before you go live
