Instantly integration live. One-click send to campaign.

Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes to Signado.

New

Send via Instantly Integration

Push your AI-generated outreach messages directly to Instantly campaigns — no more CSV export and manual import. Available on all paid plans.

What's new:

  • One-click push — Select a campaign in Instantly, map your variables, and push leads in seconds
  • Smart variable mapping — Signado auto-matches your AI variables (icebreaker, value proposition, etc.) to Instantly's campaign variables with one-click auto-match
  • Lead selection — Use checkboxes to pick exactly which leads to push, or send them all at once
  • Detailed feedback — See exactly how many leads were pushed, skipped, or already in the campaign
  • Secure API key storage — Your Instantly API key is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM

Connect your Instantly API key in Settings > Integrations, then use the "Send via Instantly" button on any campaign results page.

Improved

Database Security Hardening

We've strengthened the security layer between your browser and our database with tighter access controls.

What we did:

  • Stricter read/write permissions — Your workspace data is now locked down to read-only at the database level, with writes going through dedicated secure functions that validate every request
  • Column-level protection — Sensitive fields like billing status and usage counters are no longer directly accessible from client requests
  • Standardized authorization checks — All database access policies now use a single, consistent method to verify workspace ownership

These changes follow industry best practices for database access control. No changes to how any feature works — just a stronger security foundation under the hood.

New

Guided Setup to Your First Signal

New users now get a step-by-step setup guide right on the dashboard that walks them from sign-up to their first buying signal.

4 steps to value:

  • Complete your business profile — Tell Signado what you sell and who you sell to so signal scoring is calibrated to your business
  • Upload your contacts — Import a CSV of target companies and contacts (sample template included)
  • Set a Priority list — Priority lists are scanned daily for buying signals like job postings, funding rounds, and tech changes
  • See your first signals — Signals start appearing within 24 hours of activating Priority monitoring

Also new:

  • Better empty states on the Dashboard, Signals, and Lists pages with clear next-step guidance and help links
  • Sample CSV template — download a ready-to-fill template with the right columns so your first upload goes smoothly
  • The guide is dismissible anytime and can be resumed from a link on the dashboard

No more guessing what to do next after signing up.

Fixed

More Reliable Hiring Signals

Fixed an issue where hiring signal detection could fail for companies with limited careers page data.

What was fixed:

  • Hiring signals no longer fail when a company's careers page returns incomplete data
  • Companies with minimal job listing pages are now handled gracefully
  • Signal processing continues for all remaining companies in your list

Your hiring signals will now run smoothly across your entire monitored list, even for companies with sparse online job data.

Improved

Performance Boost Across the App

We've shipped a round of under-the-hood performance improvements that make Signado noticeably faster.

Faster page loads:

  • Dashboard loads faster — data queries now run fully in parallel instead of waiting on each other
  • Campaign Wizard starts up quicker with parallel data fetching
  • Campaign Stats and AI Generation also benefit from the same optimizations

Smaller, leaner app:

  • Reduced initial page weight — third-party scripts now load after the page is ready, so you see content sooner
  • Optimized icon loading — icons are now loaded individually instead of as one large bundle, cutting page load times

Everything you see and interact with should feel snappier. No changes to how any feature works — just faster.

Improved

Privacy Policy Update

We've updated our Privacy Policy to be more transparent about how we communicate with you.

What changed:

  • Added a dedicated Communications section clarifying what emails we send (product updates, feature announcements, tips)
  • Clear opt-out instructions in every email via unsubscribe link

Your privacy matters to us. Read the full Privacy Policy.

What's improved:

  • Real-time progress - See validation status update live as emails are processed
  • Better reliability - Validation now runs in the background, so you can continue working while it processes
  • Clearer results - Each contact shows their validation status (valid, invalid, risky, or unknown) directly in the table
