What are Signals (beta) and how to create Signal agents

Learn how to use Signals for timely and relevant outreach.

Leverage insights from our Signals module across the companies and people in your saved lists in Firmable. Quickly track role changes, identify companies hiring for specific roles, funding updates, new hires, new contact detail alerts, c-level appointments, and more. 

Create Signal agents to filter on specific signals for targeted lists to monitor changes for key accounts or different prospect segments.   
 
Using signals effectively will help you monitor for changes that may indicate when it’s a good time to connect or reconnect with someone, and with a more relevant conversation starter.
