How to Create, Add, or Import Media Mentions to Your Monitoring Account

Manually add a clip in your Saved Coverage

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Agility allows you to manually add individual mentions or import multiple mentions at once into your Saved Coverage.

This ensures your reporting is complete—even when certain clips are not captured automatically.

🔹 Add a New Mention Manually

You can manually create a mention directly inside your Saved Coverage.

1. Open the Saved Coverage / Folders section

Go to Media Monitoring > Saved Coverage / Folders.

In the right-hand panel, ensure the Create Mention (plus + icon) is selected, then click Create Mention.

2. Enter the mention details

A window will appear where you can enter or select information about the article you want to add, including:

  • Media Type (online, print, broadcast, or any of the 11 social media platforms available)

  • Outlet / Source

  • Title

  • Link

  • Publication Date

  • Summary or Notes

3. Adding social media engagement data

For social media mentions, you can add engagement metrics such as:

  • Likes

  • Comments

  • Shares

  • Views

4. Save your mention

Click Save to add it to your account.

Notes:

  • If you create a mention while viewing a specific folder, it will automatically be added to that folder.

  • You can apply a tag at the time of creation.

  • Your manually created mentions will appear in Saved Coverage / Folders and can be added to Briefings or Reports just like any other mention.


🔹 Import Mentions in Bulk

If you have a large number of mentions to upload at once, you can import them via CSV.

1. Prepare your file

Your mentions must be stored in a .csv file, formatted with one mention per row.

You can specify:

  • Folders the mentions should be saved to

  • Tags to apply to the imported mentions

2. Upload your file & map fields

As you begin the import, Agility will ask you to map the columns in your CSV to Agility’s fields—such as:

  • Title

  • URL

  • Publication date

  • Outlet

  • Summary

  • Media type

3. Use fallback values (optional)

If certain mentions are missing data in your CSV, you can define Fallback Values for any field.
Agility will use these values when a column is blank.

4. Start the import

After mapping your fields, click Import.
Your mentions will be added to your account and available in Saved Coverage / Folders, along with any folders or tags you assigned.


🔹 Tip: Add Coverage Faster with the Chrome Extension

If you want a quicker way to add missed online content, Agility offers a Chrome Extension that lets you save articles directly from your browser—often more efficient than manual creation or CSV upload.
