Multi Post Trigger

The Multi Post Trigger works just like the New Post Trigger, but monitors multiple saved searches at once. Use it when you want a single workflow to handle posts from several different searches.

When to Use It

Monitor several saved searches with one workflow instead of creating duplicates
Consolidate brand monitoring, competitor tracking, and keyword alerts into a single pipeline
Simplify workflow management when the same processing logic applies to multiple searches

How to Set It Up

Create a new workflow and select Multi Post Trigger as your trigger node
Select two or more saved searches from the dropdown
Save the trigger. It will fire whenever any of the selected searches find new posts

Note: Each post is processed individually. If multiple searches find the same post, it will only trigger once.

Output Variables

Variable	Description
`text`	The full text content of the post
`authorUrl`	URL to the post author's profile
`likes`	Number of likes on the post
`comments`	Number of comments on the post
`postUrl`	Direct URL to the original post
`datePosted`	Date and time the post was published
`source`	Platform the post came from: linkedin, twitter (x), youtube, reddit, podcast, substack, bluesky, threads, or tiktok

Variable Syntax

Reference these variables in downstream nodes using the same syntax as the New Post Trigger:

{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.text) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.authorUrl) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.likes) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.comments) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.postUrl) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.datePosted) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.source) }}

Example Workflow

Unified brand and competitor monitoring

This workflow consolidates monitoring for your brand and two competitors into one pipeline:

Multi Post Trigger watching three saved searches: "Your Brand mentions," "Competitor A mentions," and "Competitor B mentions"
AI Classify node to categorize each post as brand, competitor-a, or competitor-b
Router node to send each category to different Slack channels

This eliminates the need for three separate workflows doing similar work.

Pro tip: Use the Multi Post Trigger instead of duplicating workflows. One workflow with multiple searches is easier to maintain and uses fewer credits than running several identical workflows.
