Syften is a 🏷️#social-listening service that monitors brand mentions and keyword conversations across multiple platforms — including 📝Reddit, 📝X (Twitter), 📝Product Hunt, 📝Slack communities, 📝UpWork, newsletters, forums, and news sites — and delivers real-time alerts via email, webhook, or integration.
The service is built around fine-grained filtering: users define keyword combinations, source inclusions and exclusions, language filters, and engagement-threshold triggers, then route matches to downstream destinations. Webhook integration enables connection to databases like 📝Airtable, workflow tools like 📝Zapier, or custom response engines — a flexibility that distinguishes Syften from listening tools designed around a fixed dashboard. Pricing is per filter with team-tier options.
A common operational pattern combines Syften's listening layer with a response engine: matched mentions flow into a managed database, trigger workflow automations, and route to the right team channel or auto-response template. For agencies and growth teams, this turns Syften from a passive monitoring tool into an active prospecting and response system.

We use Syften in tandem with 📝Clay at One Inc and have for over three years. Michael, the founder, is part of our community and has built countless features on request. We've wired Syften's listening into an Airtable + Zapier response engine — matched mentions flow into a database, trigger automations, and route to the right Slack channel or auto-response template. Example: a tweet mentioning "zoom sucks" auto-fetches a corresponding tweet linking to topia.io, with a language rotator to keep the response fresh.
