Muck Rack Automated Media Coverage Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens Muck Rack, pulls every new mention published for each client since the last check, logs each hit to a Google Sheet with outlet, reach, and sentiment, and posts a Slack digest ranked by reach with a link to every placement.

In short

How do I get a daily digest of new media coverage for my clients?

WebRun scans Muck Rack's media monitoring every morning for new mentions of each client since the prior check, logs every hit to a Google Sheet with outlet, reach, and sentiment, and posts a ranked Slack digest with direct links, so the team sees the full day's coverage without checking Muck Rack manually.

  • Every client's new coverage is logged the same morning it publishes
  • Reach and sentiment are captured on every hit, not just the biggest wins
  • Account teams open Slack to a ranked digest instead of searching Muck Rack by hand

Questions, answered

Does it post to social media or reply to any coverage?

No, it only monitors and logs. WebRun reads Muck Rack's monitoring feed and reports what it finds. It never posts, comments, or shares coverage anywhere on its own.

How current is the digest?

It checks Muck Rack's monitoring feed every morning for anything published since the previous check, so the digest always reflects the last day's coverage.

Can it track multiple clients at once?

Yes, it checks each client's monitoring stream separately and logs mentions to the sheet with the client name, so one run covers your whole roster.
