Inside Lead Signal

Three layers, one trigger graph

The feed catches the world. The composer turns events into triggers. The timeline shows how every fire ends in a personalized message.

01 · Feed

A live feed of every world-event that matters

16 signal types, all real-time. Hiring intent fires on new job postings. Funding fires within 4 minutes of the SEC filing. Tech adoption fires when a target stack appears on a target domain. Every fire is logged with the source, the matched contacts, and the action that ran.

  • 16 signal types out of the box · custom webhook for the 17th

Composite triggers, AND/OR, drag-and-drop

Single signals are useful. Composite triggers are the unlock. "Hiring SREs AND adopted Snowflake last 30d AND visited /pricing" describes a specific account state — and Lead Signal will tell you the moment it occurs.

  • Drag-and-drop conditions, no scripting
  • Live preview shows matching accounts as you build
  • Per-trigger action: auto-send, queue for review, notify only

Talk to sales

Lead Signal is the always-on trigger layer of the Lead Engine. When something happens at a target account — a new exec, funding, tech adoption, hiring spike — Lead Signal fires within minutes and launches a personalized sequence.

16 signal types out of the box: hiring intent, funding events, executive role changes, tech-stack adoption, news triggers, G2/review-site engagement, web-visitor reveal, layoffs, M&A, leadership departures, product launches, regulatory filings, podcast mentions, conference attendance, customer churn signals, and custom webhook triggers you wire in yourself.

Median signal-to-sequence latency is under 7 minutes. The fastest channel — web reveal — fires in under 90 seconds. Funding events fire within 4 minutes of the SEC/Crunchbase filing.

Yes. Build composite triggers with AND/OR logic — e.g. "hiring SREs AND adopted Snowflake in last 30 days AND web-visited /pricing". The composer is drag-and-drop and previews matching accounts in real time.

Lead Signal pulls verified contacts at the account, picks the right ICP fit, generates personalized copy that references the signal in the opener, and enrols them in a sequence. Everything is logged with the firing signal as context so reps know why this lead surfaced now.

Yes. Every trigger has three actions: auto-send, queue for SDR review, or notify only. Mix and match per signal type or per priority tier.

A blend of first-party (your web visits, CRM, email engagement), 200+ third-party feeds (SEC, Crunchbase, BuiltWith-quality tech detection, job boards, news APIs, podcast transcripts), and DitLead's own behavioural graph from 50K+ workspaces.

Lead Signal is the always-on layer of the Lead Engine. The base feed ships enabled with the engine; this page covers it in depth. Live search, validation, lookalike and recommendation are described on the Lead Engine page.

Yes. Any trigger can fire a Slack message, email digest, webhook, or all three — in addition to (or instead of) the sequence enrolment action.

Yes. 7 days, credit card required. The base signal feed and one composite trigger are included; the full 16-type catalogue unlocks on any paid plan.
