How to Run Replays for X Content in Your Social Topic

Backfill X content to gather past results

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Social Topics begin collecting mentions from the moment they are created.
If you need to backfill coverage from the past 13 months, you can run a Replay to retrieve older X content.


🔹 Step 1: Set Up a Social Topic for X Content

First, create a Social Topic focused on the X content you want to monitor.
(If you need help, see the guide on creating Social Topics.)


🔹 Step 2: Initiate a Replay

Within your Topic:

  1. Click Set up a Replay Next

  2. Select Create to begin configuring your replay settings
