Monitoring and sending notifications using Logic Apps
One of my colleagues, who works for a social grievance management project, is responsible for monitoring the problems that users post on social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. He was facing the problem of continuously monitoring the tweets posted on his customer's Twitter handle with specific hashtags. His main job was to respond quickly to the tweets by users with a huge follower count, say, users with more than 50,000 followers. Hence, he was looking for a solution that kept monitoring a particular hashtag and alerted him whenever a user with more than 50,000 followers tweets so that he can quickly have his team respond to that user.
