What it matches
Opportunity-typed journalist queries across HARO's editions, Connectively's live feed, Substack, and X — matched to the beats and expertise you describe in plain language.
When it looks

Where results go
Email or Slack — per person, per team, or per client channel.
How Workflows work
Tell Featured what to monitor, when to look, and where to send results.
Describe your beats
Who you are and what you can speak to — “a payroll company; we can talk small business hiring, wage trends, and compliance.” That's the matching criteria.
Featured watches every source
HARO's three daily editions, Connectively's live feed, Substack, and X — matched continuously, deduplicated, and sorted by deadline.
Answer from the alert
Each match links back into Featured's chat, where a response gets drafted in your voice for review. Minutes from alert to sent pitch.
Why run journalist request alerts on Featured
The requests originate on platforms Featured operates. The workflow just closes the distance.
4 sources
Wider than any inbox
HARO, Connectively, Substack, and X in one matcher — including the writer-platform requests most monitoring never sees.
First
Operator-fast timing
Featured owns HARO and Connectively; requests hit the workflow as they're approved. On deadline-driven queries, that head start is the placement.
Matched
Relevance, not volume
You get the requests you could credibly answer — not every query containing your keyword. Plain-language matching against your actual expertise.
Prefer to search on demand?
The Journalist Requests feature runs the same matching as a conversation — ask, browse, and draft without setting anything up.

Journalist Requests workflow — frequently asked questions
What does the Journalist Requests workflow monitor?
Opportunity-typed journalist queries across four sources: HARO's three daily editions, Connectively's live platform feed, and source requests posted on Substack and X. Each is matched against the beats you describe, deduplicated, and delivered with its deadline to Slack or email.
How is this different from the Monitor HARO workflow?
Scope. Monitor HARO watches HARO exclusively, edition by edition. This workflow adds Connectively, Substack, and X — the full request surface. If you only want HARO, run that one; if you want everything reporters are asking for, run this.
How does the matching work?
You describe your expertise in plain language — no boolean strings — and the workflow evaluates every incoming request against it: topic fit, credibility fit, and deadline. The result is a short list you could actually answer, not a keyword dump. Refining is conversational: “fewer consumer queries, more B2B.”
How quickly will I see new requests?
On an hourly cadence, matches typically reach Slack or email within the hour they're approved. Because Featured operates HARO and Connectively, there's no scraping delay in front of the workflow — timing that matters on queries where reporters pick sources the same day.
Can it draft my responses?
Yes — configure it to draft a response for your best match daily, in your voice, using your bio and proof points. You review before anything sends. Automated volume is a losing strategy with journalists; matched relevance plus a human-approved draft is what gets picked.
Do I need a paid plan?
No — workflows are available on every plan, including Free. Runs pause when the daily usage cap is hit; a Free workspace's first run may pause on the 10¢ cap. Try the same matching free in Featured chat first to calibrate your beats.
Who runs this workflow?
Experts and founders who want coverage without living in feeds, comms teams staffing a response rotation from a Slack channel, and agencies running one workflow per client with grouped digests. Anyone whose expertise is quotable — which is more people than assume it.
