What you get

The first check saves a starting point. From the next check on, each new post that names the competitor becomes one signal. In the signal you see the post title, subreddit, author, score and comments, plus Why it matters and a confidence level.

In your webhook

Each post is one event with eventType: "mention". The full key list is on Mention events. A webhook gets one POST per check (a run webhook) and reads these events from its pages.
