The Signals tab is an inbox. New signals arrive after each monitor check, and you work through them: reply to the good ones, save the authors you want, and clear the rest.
The inbox
Four tabs, each with a count:
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| New | Signals you haven't acted on |
| Commented | Signals you commented on from filtrat |
| Not relevant | Signals you cleared |
| All | Everything |
At the top, narrow it down by ICP, monitor, period and signal type, or press ICP authors only. New since your last visit shows only what arrived since you last opened Signals in this browser. When new signals arrive while you're on the page, a button N new signals · Show appears.
Comment & like
Each new signal that's a post has a comment box, ✦ Comment · posted from name's LinkedIn account, with a draft written for you. Edit it, then press Comment & like. filtrat posts your comment under the post and likes it, from your LinkedIn account. Nothing is posted until you press the button.
- Write another drafts a new comment. Draft a comment writes one when the box is empty.
- Comments follow your company profile's Comments that got replies and Facts you can share in Targeting. Without facts, comments never claim your own experience.
- If the author was contacted through another signal recently, a note warns you, for example that a second comment this week may feel pushy.
Commenting is free.
Comments go out from your real LinkedIn account. When an account has posted many comments in a day, the inbox shows how many and the number we suggest for account safety. You can keep going, but spreading comments over the day is safer.
Message the author
After you comment, the signal moves to Commented and shows a Suggested DM · send manually on LinkedIn. Press Copy DM, send it from LinkedIn, then tick DM sent so you know where you stand. filtrat doesn't send DMs for you.
Save the author or the people
- Add to list saves the author to a lead list (an existing one, or a new one you name), with the post and the signal attached.
- Scrape Leads opens a capture of the post's commenters and likers into a list.
- Monitor 7 days (on a monitor's posts) watches the post and saves new people who engage. See Watch a post.
To save authors automatically, set it on the monitor. See Save post authors to a list.
Not relevant
Press Not relevant to clear a signal from New. It's kept on the Not relevant tab, and Move back to New brings it back.
Signals that aren't posts
Some signals, such as job posts, can't be commented on. They show This signal isn't a post, so filtrat can't comment on it, with Add to list and Not relevant.
If commenting is paused
If your LinkedIn account needs reconnecting, the inbox shows one notice with Reconnect LinkedIn, and commenting is paused until then. See Reconnect an expired session.
