Generally, PR and Social Media teams work in collaboration and employ a wide gamut of tools to keep a check on the brand mentions on social media networks or any other platform. By using Power Automate, things can be streamlined so that your teams don't have to juggle between different tools and applications to monitor a brand’s mentions online.
