Halfway into his second year, he moved in with his girlfriend on a trial basis.

The best way for you to figure this out is visit the platforms and explore their free trial (if offered).

I don't remember all of the details, but none went to trial. 

You want to be responding helpfully and quickly to relevant discussions to your business, and you might have to go through some trial and error with how you set up your keywords and notifications to get that right.
