Track viral posts and deliver the best three overnight
A Grok Bot pulled social posts from X, TikTok, and Instagram, unified their metrics, and sent the strongest three to Telegram on a weekday run.
- What they did
- Using Grok Bot with the Apify plugin, they set up separate scrapers for X, TikTok, and Instagram. The bot surfaced each scraper’s engagement labels first, then turned the results into a single table, excluded posts newer than 24 hours, and scored the remainder by save rate. Because Instagram does not expose public saves, it used comments divided by likes there instead. A Composio-connected Telegram bot delivered the shortlist on a weekday schedule.
- How it went
- The scrape returned 150 posts overall. Of those, 128 were eligible for ranking; four were excluded for age and 18 were left out because the save-rate data could not be used. The final three picks came from X, with save rates between 2.5 and 2.7.
- Tips
- Ask the bot to reveal the field names from every source before you map or combine anything. If a platform reports saves differently, or not at all, verify the fallback metric so the ranking stays accurate.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Every [night/weekday], collect posts from [X, TikTok, and Instagram] for [keywords, hashtags, or accounts] in my niche. Show me the engagement fields each scraper returns, then merge the data into one table, remove anything published in the last 24 hours, and rank the rest by [save rate or another metric I choose]. If Instagram does not provide public saves, use [comments divided by likes] as the substitute. Before you send or publish anything, stop and ask for my approval. If I approve, send the top three results, with links and a brief note for each, to [Telegram or email] at [time] on [weekdays]. Do not delete, post, reply, or otherwise act on the content itself.
