Company news
The company news signal source, what it polls, and the kind enum.
Company news is the first signal source available in Client Path. It monitors public news about your tracked clients and delivers structured signal events when relevant articles are found.
What it polls
The company news source searches for recent news articles, press releases, and announcements about each client you are tracking. It runs every 15 minutes by default.
For each client, it looks for:
- Funding announcements (Series A, B, C, venture rounds, credit facilities).
- Leadership changes (C-suite hires, departures, promotions).
- Product launches or major product updates.
- Mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships.
- Regulatory filings or compliance events.
- General company news with sentiment analysis.
Signal kinds
Each signal from the company news source has a kind field:
| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
funding_round | A funding announcement (VC round, IPO, debt raise) |
leadership_hire | A new C-suite or VP-level hire |
leadership_departure | A senior leader leaving the company |
product_launch | A new product or major feature announcement |
partnership | A partnership or integration announcement |
acquisition | The client acquiring or being acquired by another company |
company_news | General news that does not fit a more specific kind |
Using company news signals in rules
A common rule pattern: when a funding_round signal arrives for a tracked client, re-research them immediately to capture the new context, then draft outreach.
Trigger: signal_event
Condition: signal_kind = "funding_round" AND score >= 50
Action: re_research
Followed by a second rule:
Trigger: cr_completed (after the re-research)
Condition: score >= 65
Action: draft_outreach
