Twitter Trends App
Working in digital, we have to have a close pulse to what is going on in the world but sometimes, we miss things. The Twitter Trends app pulls the top trends from countries all over the world so we can create alerts and messaging.
If you have any issues, submit a service desk ticket
The Twitter Trends App is managed by the PMG Technical Solutions team and has the datasource ready to go for you. You can see the datasource as Social.Twitter_Trends.
We will add countries as needed. To check out what countries are already included run the following in Reporting → Explorer using the Custom Redshift report type.
SELECT
country,
max(date) as max_date
FROM social.twitter_trends
group by countryIf you see the country you need, make sure the max_date column is up to date. However, if you do not see the country you need, submit a ticket here and we will get that added for you.
