Settings Reference

Configure every aspect of HotMention — notifications, platforms, team, billing, and AI.

🔔

Notifications & Delivery

Settings → Notifications

Control how and when you receive lead alerts:

→
Email notifications: Toggle on/off. Choose frequency: Real-time, Daily digest, or Weekly summary.
→
Minimum intent score: Only get notified for leads above this score (e.g., 70+ for HOT only).
→
Platform filter: Choose which platforms trigger notifications (e.g., only Reddit and X).
→
Keyword filter: Get alerts only for specific keywords (useful when you have many).
→
Quiet hours: Disable notifications during certain hours (e.g., 11 PM - 8 AM).

💡 Tip: Set aggressive filters for real-time alerts (HOT only) and broader filters for daily digests. Best of both worlds.

Platform Configuration

Settings → Platforms

Manage which platforms HotMention monitors (availability depends on your plan):

→
Active platforms: Toggle on/off: Reddit, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora, Threads.
→
Subreddit targeting (Reddit only): Optionally restrict monitoring to specific subreddits (e.g., only r/SaaS, r/Entrepreneur). Leave blank for all relevant subreddits.
→
Language filter: Monitor only English, or add Spanish, French, German, etc. (Scale plan only).

Why restrict subreddits? If your product is niche (e.g., e-commerce tools), you can limit Reddit to r/shopify, r/ecommerce instead of scanning all subreddits. Improves signal quality.

👥

Team Management

Settings → Team

Collaborate with your team (Growth and Scale plans only):

→
Invite members: Add teammates by email. They get their own login and access to leads.
→
Seats & limits: Growth plan: 3 seats. Scale plan: unlimited seats. Free/Starter: 1 seat only.
→
Roles: Owner (full access), Member (can view/reply), Viewer (read-only). Coming soon.
→
Activity log: See who replied to which leads, moved stages, or edited keywords.

💡 Tip: Give your sales team Member access so they can claim leads, draft replies, and track conversions — all in one place.

Billing & Plans

Settings → Billing

Manage your subscription and usage:

→
Current plan: View your active plan (Free, Starter, Growth, Scale) and limits.
→
Usage this month: See how many leads you've received vs your monthly limit.
→
Upgrade/Downgrade: Change plans anytime. Upgrades are prorated; downgrades take effect next billing cycle.
→
Payment method: Update credit card, billing email, or invoicing details.
→
Invoices: Download past invoices (PDF). Sent automatically via email each month.
→
Cancel subscription: Cancel anytime. You keep access until the end of your billing period.

What happens when you hit your limit? HotMention stops delivering new leads until the next billing cycle. Upgrade mid-month to unlock immediately (prorated).

💡 Tip: Set up usage alerts (Settings → Notifications) to get warned when you're at 80% of your monthly limit.

🔑

API Keys

Settings → API

Generate API keys for programmatic access (Scale plan only):

→
Create API key: Click 'Generate Key' to create a new token. Give it a label (e.g., 'Production', 'Testing').
→
Active keys: View all keys, last used date, and creation date. Keys start with hm_.
→
Revoke keys: Delete compromised or unused keys immediately. They stop working instantly.

⚠️ Security: API keys grant full access to your project data. Never share them publicly, commit to GitHub, or embed in client-side code.

💡 Tip: Create separate keys for production, staging, and personal testing. Easier to rotate and debug.

🔒

Data & Privacy

Settings → Data

Control your data and privacy:

→
Export data: Download all your leads, keywords, and analytics as JSON or CSV.
→
Delete project: Permanently delete all data (keywords, leads, settings). Cannot be undone.
→
Data retention: Leads older than 90 days are auto-archived (Scale plan: 365 days).

💡 Tip: Export your data monthly for backups or to import into your CRM/data warehouse.
