Social Media Crisis → Team Assembly → Response Coordination
Detect potential social media crises across platforms and automatically assemble your crisis response team with pre-drafted response templates.
Workflow Steps
Buffer
Monitor high-risk social mentions
Set up Buffer to monitor your brand across X, Facebook, and Instagram. Create alerts for keywords like 'boycott,' 'lawsuit,' 'scandal,' or sudden spikes in negative mentions.
Zapier
Trigger crisis detection workflow
Connect Buffer to Zapier with filters for high-severity alerts (multiple negative mentions in short timeframe, verified account complaints, or trending hashtags mentioning your brand).
PagerDuty
Alert crisis response team
Automatically create a high-priority PagerDuty incident that immediately notifies your PR manager, social media manager, and executive team via call, SMS, and email.
Google Docs
Generate response document
Use Zapier to create a Google Doc with crisis details, pre-approved response templates, stakeholder contact list, and timeline tracker that the team can collaborate on in real-time.
Slack
Create dedicated crisis channel
Automatically create a private Slack channel for the crisis with all key stakeholders, pinned response templates, and live updates from social monitoring tools.
