Stack Overflow monitoring

Stack Overflow monitoring for the questions your docs should have answered

When a developer can't make something work they often ask on Stack Overflow, not on social. Sniffington searches questions and answers for your product name and domain, so the ones about you reach you while the question is still open.

Stack Overflow monitoring with Sniffington, in short

Sniffington monitors Stack Overflow by searching its questions and answers, newest first, for your brand's keywords and domain, then reading each match. An AI check keeps the posts that are really about you and sorts them into categories such as Question, Bug report and Comparison. Each one links to the post on Stack Overflow.

What it finds

  • Questions about your API, SDK or integration that your docs should have answered
  • Answers that recommend a workaround for a bug of yours
  • Questions comparing your product with another
  • Wrong answers about how your product works

Docs question: webhook verification examples only in Python.

How do I verify Ledgerline webhook signatures in Express? The docs only show Python. I compare the header to my own HMAC and still get a 401.

NeutralQuestion

How it works on Stack Overflow

  • We use Stack Overflow's own search over questions and answers, newest first, back to the start of your scan window.
  • Each result shows the post's text and a link to it on Stack Overflow.

Limits to know about

  • Stack Overflow is checked daily on every plan, and its searches never count against your plan's allowance.
  • Alerts arrive by email, in Slack through a webhook URL, or in Discord, with the urgency you choose.
  • Public posts only. Nothing private or closed is searched.
  • A reply goes out only when you approve it, from an account you connected. Nothing is posted on its own.
  • Stack Overflow's search does not say who asked, so the author shows as a Stack Overflow user. Other Stack Exchange sites are not searched.

Questions

Is Stack Overflow monitoring on the free plan?

Yes, on every plan, and Stack Overflow searches never count against your plan's allowance. Free checks it daily.

Do I need a Stack Overflow account?

No. Sniffington reads public posts. Add your own Stack Overflow handle to the brand so your own posts stay out of the feed.

What happens to posts that aren't about me?

The AI reads every post against one sentence about what you make. Posts about something else that shares your name go to Ruled out, each with a note saying why, one click from coming back.

Does Sniffington search other Stack Exchange sites?

No. It searches questions and answers on Stack Overflow only.

Will it post or reply for me?

Only when you approve it. It drafts a reply; you edit it and press Post to send it from an account you connected, or copy it and post it yourself. Nothing goes out on its own.
