How Do Auto-Saving Topics Work?

Automatically save media mentions that match your Topic search criteria, ensuring important coverage is captured without requiring manual review.


🔹 What Is Auto-Saving?

If your Agility account has Auto-Saving enabled, you can configure a Topic to automatically save matching media mentions to a designated folder.

Instead of manually reviewing Topic results and saving relevant mentions, Agility continuously monitors new coverage and automatically saves mentions that meet your Topic's search criteria.

This is especially useful for:

  • Tracking high-priority brands or campaigns

  • Capturing crisis or issues management coverage

  • Creating a permanent record of important media mentions

  • Feeding saved coverage into reports, briefings, alerts, and other workflows


🔹 Before You Begin

Auto-Saving is designed for well-defined Topics with focused search criteria.

Because every matching mention is automatically saved, broad Topics may quickly consume your monthly saved mention allowance.

Accounts with Auto-Saving enabled have a monthly quota that includes:

  • Automatically saved mentions

  • Manually saved mentions

Using precise search criteria helps ensure your saved coverage is as relevant as possible.


🔹 Enable Auto-Saving for a Topic

To enable Auto-Saving:

  1. Create a new Topic or edit an existing one.

  2. Open the Topic Workflow Settings section.

  3. Set the workflow to Save Mentions Automatically.

  4. Choose the folder where saved mentions should be stored.

  5. Save your Topic.

New mentions matching your Topic will automatically be saved as they are collected.


🔹 Managing Your Saved Coverage

Automatically saved mentions behave the same as manually saved mentions.

Once saved, they can be:

  • Added to folders and tags

  • Included in reports and media briefings

  • Used in alerts and dashboards

  • Exported and shared with stakeholders


🔹 Important Notes

  • Auto-Saving is only available for accounts that have the feature enabled.

  • Your monthly saved mention quota includes both automatic and manual saves.

  • Broad Topics may consume your quota more quickly, so use focused search criteria whenever possible.
