In short

How can I automatically flag negative comments on my Facebook posts?

Every few minutes, WebRun scans new comments on your Facebook Page posts, identifies negative, offensive, or sensitive ones using your criteria, logs each in a Google Sheet, and sends an immediate Slack alert, so you can respond, hide, or delete before the situation escalates.

  • Negative Facebook comments are flagged within minutes, not hours
  • You decide every action (respond, hide, or delete); WebRun never acts on its own
  • A Google Sheet logs every flagged comment for audit and pattern tracking

Questions, answered

Will it delete or hide comments on its own?

No. WebRun only reads and flags comments. It never deletes, hides, or replies to anything, so every action on a comment is taken by you.

How do I control what counts as negative?

You define a list of keywords and a sentiment threshold in your Google Sheet. Common starting points include complaint language, competitor names, or profanity, all fully customisable.

What if a flagged comment turns out to be fine?

Mark the row Resolved in the sheet and let your team know. You can tighten the flag criteria at any time to reduce false positives.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
