You can customize how frequently you want your Ghost to scan social media platforms for content, and set limits to the maximum number of Finds you receive with each scan.
Scan frequency
<aside>
🕙
Ghosts scan once a day by default if you turn on auto-scanning, but you can set them to scan as often as every every hour or as infrequently as every 7 days.
</aside>
- Adjust timing: Set a custom schedule for how often scans take place.
- Daily check-ins: Common to set scans once a day for routine updates and outreach.
- Independent of Find volume: Frequency only affects how often scans take place, not the quantity or volume of Finds you will receive.
- Auto-scanning: Enable to run scans automatically at the chosen interval.
- Initial scan: Looks back at content from the past 3 days; subsequent scans only find new content since the last scan.

Max Finds
- Limit Finds: Choose the maximum number of content items received per scan (e.g., 35). In this example your Ghost will return the “best” 35 of the matching Finds.
- Manage response load: Prevents receiving more content items than you can handle.
- Unlimited option: Set to 0 for no cap on the number of content items retrieved.
