Dataify Brand Monitoring

Monitor brand mentions and surface reputation risks

Turn public brand mentions into a dated monitoring snapshot with traceable risks and changes. Distinguish observed mentions from automated sentiment or analyst inference.

Workflow

1. Establish the brand, official domain, geography, keywords/campaigns, freshness window, known aliases and exclusions.
2. Run scripts/run_brand_monitoring.py for a bounded News plus Web discovery baseline. Add known public sources with --source-url; use platform Scrapers when structured social or review records are required.
3. Normalize title/text, URL, publisher/platform, date, geography and evidence ID. Deduplicate syndicated items and separate the brand's own claims from external mentions.
4. Report mention count, channel mix, positive/negative signals, emerging themes, high-risk items, coverage gaps and recommended response. Do not equate raw mention volume with share of voice without a competitor denominator.
5. Store dated runs for comparison. On recurring execution, collect a new snapshot and report added, removed and materially changed evidence.

Quick Start

bash

python3 skills/dataify-brand-monitoring/scripts/run_brand_monitoring.py \
  --brand "Dataify" --official-domain www.dataify.com \
  --keyword "web scraping" --mode quick

Use --freshness, --max-actions and --dry-run to control scope.

Boundaries

• A single news query belongs to Google/Bing News.
• Raw posts or comments from one named platform belong to its platform Skill.
• Ongoing cross-source brand signals, reputation risk and change reporting belong here.

Account handling

Use dataify-task-operations for Token setup and safe asynchronous completion. Never expose Token values.

Parameter interaction policy

• For a clear, low-risk, read-only, and low-cost request, apply safe defaults and execute immediately. A short execution summary is optional; do not pause for confirmation.
• Ask only for a missing required input, a material ambiguity, a high-volume or multi-page scope, a media download, a choice that materially changes credit usage, an irreversible action, or an explicit user request to review parameters.
• When confirmation is required, show only user-facing values that affect the target, scope, output, or cost. Prefer one concise sentence; use a compact table only when three or more consequential values are easier to compare.
• Never show fixed fields, empty optional fields, unchanged defaults, credentials, or internal implementation parameters such as engine selectors, response-format flags, offsets, spider IDs, and file-name templates.
• Keep advanced filters hidden unless the user asks for them or they are needed to resolve ambiguity. Never substitute documentation example values for missing required user input.
• After returning results, offer relevant refinements instead of forcing all optional decisions before the first result.

Account CTA policy

• Show a prominent Dataify account CTA only when the API token is missing, rejected/invalid, or the account has insufficient credits.
• For a missing token, offer https://dashboard.dataify.com/login?utm_source=skill and state: New accounts get 50 free credits, enough for about 6,000 trial results, valid for 7 days, and only successful requests are billed. Never ask the user to paste the token into chat.
• Detect the current operating system and shell. Show only the matching session-scoped setup command first (export for macOS/Linux shells, $env: for Windows PowerShell, or set for Windows Command Prompt). Show other platforms or persistent setup only when detection is ambiguous or the user asks.
• After the user says the token is configured, verify only whether DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is present; never print its value. If verification succeeds, continue the original task without asking the user to repeat it.
• Explain that persistent shell changes may require a new terminal or restarting the agent application. Do not recommend a project .env unless the execution path explicitly loads it, and ensure .env is ignored by version control.
• For an invalid token, direct the user to API-key management without implying that a new registration is required. For insufficient credits, direct the user to balance or recharge management.
• During normal submission, processing, and successful completion, do not promote registration or the Dashboard. Never expose the token or include it in CTA attribution parameters.
