X

What Harken picks up from public posts on X, which replies count, and when the network is available.

X moves fast. People complain about a tool in the morning and ask for a replacement by lunch, often in a single short post. That makes it a good place to catch a buying moment early, as long as your keywords match how people actually write there.

What Harken collects

When X is switched on, the topic source of an agent searches recent public posts for your keywords. Each match is scored for relevance, intent and engagement, then lands in the Posts feed next to your LinkedIn results, marked with its network.

For every post it keeps, Harken stores the text, the author's public name and handle, the time it went out and its public counts of likes, replies and reposts.

Which actions count as signals

• Posting: the author wrote something that matches your keywords.
• Replying: someone answered a matching post.
• Quoting: someone reposted a matching post with their own comment on top.

Plain likes and silent reposts are counted in the post's engagement figures but do not put a person on your list, because they say too little about intent.

How the data reaches Harken

Searches go through a licensed social data provider, with the official X developer interface as a backup when the first route fails. Replies and quotes come only from that official interface. When Harken has no access token for it, posts still arrive but nobody who replied or quoted is listed, whichever route found the posts. Harken never signs in to an X account, yours or anyone else's, and it never posts, likes or replies for you.

When X slows requests down, a crawl waits briefly and tries once more. If the network still refuses, the run finishes with the results it already has and is marked as partial.

Availability

X can be picked in the agent wizard once it has been switched on for Harken. Until then it is listed with a Soon label and cannot be chosen. Picking it moves the agent's topic source to X; competitor and expert sources stay on LinkedIn.

FAQ

Do hashtags work as keywords?

Yes. Add the tag, including the hash sign, as one of your topic keywords.

Why do X posts score lower than LinkedIn ones?

Short posts give the scorer less context. Phrases that name a problem tend to do better than single words.
