The why

Why you need this

The mechanics behind the feature — and why it moves your numbers.

Story mentions are the highest-intent action a follower can take: they are publicly endorsing you to their entire audience.

Most creators never acknowledge mentions, and the ones who do reply hours later. An instant auto-reply turns a one-time sharer into a repeat advocate.

You can even reward mentions — send a discount code or freebie to anyone who shares your content, turning UGC into a growth loop.
