Syntax Example
{{configureSignal.signalId}}Pro tip: Use different severity levels to prioritize your signals. Set critical for time-sensitive opportunities and low for informational alerts.
Pro tip: You can use signals to trigger new workflows. This is great for processing only the key signals or sending them to notify you in an app like Slack.
Creating a Signal
Signals are set up using the Configure Signal node (see screenshot below).
When adding a Signal, you can define:
Signal Name - A clear, descriptive title (e.g. User Experience , Competitor Launch Alert).
Description - What this signal represents and the conditions under which it fires.
Severity Level - Mark the urgency as Low, Medium, or High.
Category - Organise signals by team or purpose (Sales, Marketing, Support, Product, HR, Finance).
Why Signals Matter
Signals let you translate workflow outcomes into meaningful, trackable insights. They act as custom milestones that can:
Be displayed in the Signals panel with real-time updates.
Carry impact ratings (e.g. High Impact feedback on LinkedIn).
Trigger new workflows for downstream automation.

Triggering New Workflows With Signals
Signals aren’t just endpoints, they can act as triggers for new workflows.
For example:
When a Negative Post Signal is created → Notify the executive team immediately.
When a Competitor Feature Signal fires → Create a ticket for the product team.
When a High-Impact Feedback Signal appears → Share it directly with sales for outreach.
