X / Twitter Mentions

Track brand mentions and link attributions from X (Twitter).

Overview

Revlytics tracks tweets that mention your brand or link to your site. Mentions appear as avatar markers on the dashboard chart and in a dedicated mentions feed.

Setup

1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Twitter / X
2. Configure two types of tracking:

Link attribution

Add X accounts that link to your site. When these accounts tweet links to your domain, Revlytics captures them.

1. Click the Link attribution tab
2. Add X account handles (e.g., @yourbrand)

Keyword mentions

Track keywords across all of X — brand names, domains, handles.

1. Click the Mentions tab
2. Add keywords to track (e.g., revlytics, revlytics.co, @revlytics)

Scan for mentions

Revlytics polls the X API on a cron schedule. You can also trigger a manual scan:

1. Go to Settings → Twitter / X
2. Click Scan now

Dashboard integration

Chart markers

When mentions exist for a date in your chart, an avatar of the tweet author appears on the data point. Hover to see the tweet content and engagement metrics.

Mentions feed

A dedicated panel on the dashboard shows recent mentions with:

• Tweet text
• Author avatar and handle
• Engagement (likes, retweets, replies)
• Timestamp

Requirements

X mention tracking requires an X_BEARER_TOKEN environment variable with access to the X API v2. This is configured on the server side — users don’t need their own API keys.

The X API has rate limits. Mention polling frequency is managed by the cron schedule to stay within limits.
