Most outbound fails for one surprisingly simple reason: timing. When you reach out after a prospect has already solved the problem, chosen a vendor, or moved on to a different priority, even a great message lands flat. Findymail Signals is built to fix that by helping you contact the right people at the right moment.
Signals is a real-time intent-signal monitoring service from findymail that scans the web 24/7 for buying moments such as new hires, job title changes, keyword mentions, and topic engagement. It then filters those events to your ideal customer profile (ICP), enriches the lead with key context, and delivers results in-app or to your systems (CRM, sequencer, or other tools) via webhook. The goal is straightforward: reduce noise, prioritize high-value leads, and help B2B teams and agencies turn outreach into meetings while buying windows are still open.
What Signals Does (and Why It Matters for Outbound)
An intent signal in sales is a real-world event indicating a prospect is more likely to be receptive right now. Examples include someone getting promoted, joining a new company, or publicly engaging with a topic tied to a problem you solve. These moments create a short buying window where relevance is naturally higher and response rates tend to follow.
Signals focuses on capturing those windows as they happen and getting them into your pipeline fast, with three practical advantages:
- Speed: You can act while the buying window is still open, instead of finding the signal days later.
- Precision: You can filter by ICP criteria (industry, company size, country, seniority, and more) to keep your feed clean and focused.
- Context and enrichment: Every matched lead is enriched with company data, job titles, and social URLs, with optional email and phone enrichment so you can go from “signal” to “send” quickly.
The Core Signal Types You Can Monitor
Signals supports four primary signal types designed to match common outbound plays across sales teams, growth teams, and lead generation agencies:
- New Hire: Detect when someone joins a company that fits your ICP.
- Job Title Change: Catch promotions or role changes that often coincide with new priorities, budgets, or vendor evaluations.
- Keyword Mention: Find public mentions of keywords relevant to the pain you solve (for example, tools, problems, initiatives, or competitor comparisons).
- Topic Engagement: Identify prospects engaging with a topic aligned with your offer, indicating active interest.
These are the kinds of events that make outreach feel timely rather than random. Instead of manufacturing personalization, you’re responding to a real trigger.
How Findymail Signals Works: From Monitor to Meeting
Signals is designed as an always-on system that runs in the background while your team focuses on messaging and follow-up. The workflow is typically:
1) Set up monitors for the intent signals you care about
In the Monitors area, you choose the signal type and configure what you want to “listen” for, such as topic engagement, new hires, job changes, and more. Once a monitor is live, it runs continuously.
2) Filter signals down to your exact ICP (to reduce noise)
Signals lets you narrow results to your ICP using precise filters such as:
- Industry
- Company size
- Country
- Company name
- Job title keywords
- Seniority level
Signals also supports AI scoring so you can describe what makes a signal relevant. The practical benefit is that your team spends less time triaging borderline leads and more time engaging the prospects most likely to convert.
3) Automatically enrich matched leads with usable context
When a signal matches your criteria, Signals automatically enriches the lead with:
- Company data
- Job titles
- Social URLs
You can also request optional enrichment for email and phone number depending on your workflow. This is especially helpful if you want your SDRs (or your agency team) to move from signal detection to outreach without switching tools.
4) Deliver leads where your team actually works
Signals can deliver leads:
- In-app, as soon as they are detected
- Via webhook, into your CRM, sequencer, or other tools
- Via CSV export, for review, routing, or list operations
In Findymail, signals appear in a Feed view where you can filter by signal type, monitor, and time period. If you enrich leads with email and phone, those contacts can also be found in your Contacts area.
Why Real-Time Buying Windows Are a Competitive Advantage
Outbound is often treated like a volume game, but timing creates leverage. When your outreach aligns with a prospect’s real-world context, you can:
- Start conversations that feel natural because you’re responding to a relevant trigger, not interrupting.
- Improve reply rates by reaching out when attention and urgency are higher.
- Book meetings faster because you’re earlier in the evaluation cycle.
- Reduce wasted touches on accounts that are not currently receptive.
Signals is positioned to help teams be “first to the moment,” which matters because buying windows can close quickly.
ICP Filters + AI Scoring: How Signals Helps You Stay Focused
The best intent data in the world isn’t useful if it overwhelms your team. Signals emphasizes noise reduction through:
- Precise ICP filtering (industry, company size, country, seniority, and more)
- AI scoring that helps define what relevance looks like for your specific go-to-market motion
The end result is a feed of signals designed to be actionable, not just interesting.
Enrichment: Turning “A Signal” Into “A Lead You Can Contact”
A common breakdown in trigger-based prospecting is that even after you find a great event, you still have to hunt down the right person and their details. Signals aims to remove that friction by enriching matched leads automatically with company and role data and social URLs.
If your process requires contact details for outreach, you can request optional enrichment for:
- Email (credit-based)
- Phone number (credit-based, with availability dependent on region; non-EU only for phone as described by the product)
This makes Signals useful for teams that want to operationalize intent quickly, including high-throughput outbound programs.
Delivery Options: In-App, Webhook, CRM, and CSV Export
Signals supports different operating models:
- Founder-led sales and small teams: Review signals in-app, enrich, and send outreach manually with strong context.
- SDR teams: Push signals into a CRM or sequencer via webhook for fast routing, SLAs, and automated cadences.
- Agencies: Export CSVs for client reporting, list building, segmentation, and multi-client operations.
Because delivery is flexible, you can align Signals with how your revenue team already works rather than forcing a new process.
Credit-Based Pricing: How Signal and Enrichment Costs Work
Signals uses a credit-based pricing model where credits depend on the signal type and the filters you apply. Based on the product details provided:
- New Hire and Job Title Change cost 1 credit per signal.
- Keyword Mention and Topic Engagement cost 1 to 3 credits per signal, depending on ICP filters.
- Filtering by contact criteria such as job title keywords or seniority level adds 1 credit per signal on top of the base cost.
- Optional enrichment costs include 1 credit per email and 10 credits per phone number (with phone enrichment described as non-EU only).
The practical upside of a credit model is that you can align spend to the signal types and levels of enrichment that map directly to your pipeline goals.

Signals + Intellimatch: A Practical Pairing for Targeted Outbound at Scale
Signals is built for catching buying moments; Findymail also offers Intellimatch, which is positioned for teams that want to describe their ideal customer in plain English and find matching companies with verified contact data included.
Used together, the pairing can support two complementary motions:
- Moment-based outbound (Signals): Start conversations when intent is highest due to real-time triggers.
- ICP-based list building (Intellimatch): Build targeted prospect lists that match your ICP when you want consistent outbound volume.
For teams running targeted outbound at scale, this combination can help balance always-on pipeline with right-time outreach that improves conversion to meetings.
Use Cases: Where Signals Shines for B2B Teams and Agencies
1) SDR teams booking more meetings with fewer touches
When SDRs sequence accounts with no context, they often need more follow-ups to get a reply. Signals provides timely triggers and enriched details, helping reps write messages that connect to what is happening now.
2) Agencies running multi-client lead generation
Agencies benefit from the ability to create different monitors per client, apply tight ICP filters, and export results via CSV or push them into client systems. This helps standardize delivery and keep reporting clean.
3) Growth teams testing new segments and messaging
Because Signals can filter by industry, company size, country, and seniority, growth teams can quickly observe which triggers correlate with replies in specific segments and iterate their positioning accordingly.
4) Account-based motions that depend on “the right person, right time”
If your GTM motion depends on reaching specific roles (for example, senior decision-makers), Signals supports job title keywords and seniority filtering so your team can prioritize the most relevant contacts.
What Teams Receive With Each Signal (Deliverables You Can Act On)
Signals is designed so that each matched event produces a lead record with practical context. As described, every lead is enriched automatically with:
- Company data
- Job title
- LinkedIn URLs (included as social URLs)
Optional enrichment can add email and phone, supporting teams that want to move straight into outreach without extra research steps.

Best Practices: Getting the Most Out of Signals
Build monitors around specific moments that match your offer
Signals are most powerful when your outreach has a clear connection to the trigger. Choose signal types and keywords that map directly to pains you solve, outcomes you deliver, or initiatives your ICP is actively pursuing.
Use ICP filters to protect your team’s focus
Filtering by industry, company size, country, and seniority helps ensure your feed stays actionable. The goal is not more signals. The goal is more relevant signals.
Decide upfront how much enrichment you need
If your workflow is research-heavy or relationship-based, you may start with in-app review and enrich only high-priority leads. If your workflow is high-throughput outbound, you may choose email and phone enrichment to speed up activation.
Route signals quickly to outreach owners
Buying windows are short, so operational speed matters. Use in-app workflows, webhook delivery, or CSV-based routing so the right person follows up promptly.
