Do Signals use credits?
Do Signals use credits?
Setting up and running Signals is free. Credits are only used in two cases:
Revealing an email address in a Company Signal result (1 credit per reveal)
Running a Bulk Domain Search from your Signals results (credits are consumed based on the number of emails returned)
Learn more about how credits are counted in Hunter here.
đĄ Setting up a Signal, viewing your Signal results and browsing companies does not use any credits.
Can I exclude companies I'm not interested in?
Can I exclude companies I'm not interested in?
Yes. On any Signal result, click the thumbs down icon next to a company to dismiss it.
đĄ Dismissed companies are moved out of your active results and won't appear again for that Signal.
Note: that you can't bulk-dismiss or set permanent exclusion rules by company name or domain, dismissals are manual, one company at a time.
By clicking the thumbs up instead, these companies will be marked in green, making them easier to identify among the others.

Why isn't my Signal returning any results?
Why isn't my Signal returning any results?
A few possible reasons:
Your filters are too narrow. Try broadening the industry, location, or company size range to let more results through.
The Signal is paused. Check the Signals page, paused Signals don't scan for new results.
It's early. A freshly created Signal may take a short time before new results start appearing, especially if you've set a tight publication date range.
Can I track grant funding or public sector organizations?
Can I track grant funding or public sector organizations?
Not directly. Signals doesn't have a "grant funding" type or a public sector filter. The closest workaround is to use a Fundings and acquisitions Signal and narrow it down with the Industry (e.g. Education) and Headquarters location filters to get as close to your target audience as possible. You'll then want to manually review results to identify public sector matches.

Can I share a Signal with my team?
Signals are currently personal. They're tied to your individual Hunter account and can't be shared with or transferred to teammates. Each team member would need to create their own Signal with the same criteria.
