How can I monitor only one thread (post and the connecting comments)?

You need to create a new Brand or Advanced project and try one of the following approaches:

🔷 In the Keywords text box, insert a part of the text of the post in quotation marks. This search is contextual: you will get both the post and its comments. 📑

🔷 Build a project for a specific Facebook post and its comments, as well as for online articles and their related comments. You can search for a post by putting a unique part of its text into the advanced keywords search between quotation marks, and if you search the contextual mode, you’ll also get the related comments.

Don't forget

You cannot build a project for a single Tweet and it’s replies. This is because of the limitations in the Twitter API.
