Hello. I want to monitor whether small hyperlocal news websites and blogs in my area are mentioning my organisation.
These websites are very small, mostly privately run community blogs, etc
I’d like to automatically have a list of these websites checked daily for any mention of my organisation on their late news pages, record the mention in a spreadsheet, and notify me somehow by email or SMS. Is this something Make can do? if so, how?
Welcome to the Make community!
Yes, what you’ve asked is definitely doable, but it’s quite a broad request and we don’t know anything about the individual sites.
You’ll need to start with a list of all the sites stored in a database, like Google Sheets or Data Store.
I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario.
If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then.
Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting in the Professional Services category
Here are some useful links and guides to help you get started and learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules —

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t think it was too broad. But let me rethink the question, as follows. I want to monitor one small local news website blog to see if and when it mentions my organisation on its news page
I’d like to 1. automatically check this website daily for any mention of my organisation on its latest news pages, 2. record the mention in a spreadsheet, and 3. notify me somehow by email or SMS. Is this something Make can do? If so, how?
