The Signal Template Library gives you ready-to-use signal configurations organized by category. Instead of building signals from scratch, pick a template, fill in a few details, and start collecting data immediately.

​
Access the Template Library

When you create a new signal, Clearcue opens the template library automatically. You can browse templates by category or search for a specific one.

​
My Brand

Track who engages with your brand, founders, or thought leaders on social media. Add your own profiles as data sources.
Profile viewers and Connections require a connected profile that belongs to your organization. You can only track views and connections on your own profiles.
Example: Add your CEO’s profile as a data source, then enable the Engagers and Commenters templates. Clearcue continuously monitors who interacts with their posts — giving you a list of warm prospects already aware of your brand.

​
Competitors

Monitor your competitors’ social activity and see who engages with them. Add competitor profiles as data sources. Example: Add three competitor company profiles. The Engagers signal surfaces everyone who liked or commented on their recent posts — people already interested in your category and comparing options.

​
Company Activity

Track corporate events like funding rounds, hiring, role changes, and office expansions. These templates use keyword search to find relevant posts and apply AI to filter out noise.
What it detects: Posts announcing company funding rounds.Input: Select a funding round type (Angel, Pre-seed, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D+).How it works: Searches for posts matching terms like “raised”, “funding”, or “closed” combined with your selected round type. AI qualification filters for genuine funding announcements and excludes investing advice or general finance content.Example: Select “Series A” to track companies that just raised a Series A — ideal for targeting fast-growing startups that are about to scale their team and tooling.
To track multiple funding stages, create a separate signal for each round type.
What it detects: Posts about companies actively hiring for a specific role.Input: Enter a job title (e.g. “SDR”, “Product Manager”, “Data Scientist”).How it works: Searches for posts matching terms like “hiring”, “looking for”, “join our team”, or “open role” combined with your position. AI qualification checks whether the role’s actual duties match the position — the job title doesn’t need to be exact. Excludes career advice, job-seeking posts, and roles where your position is only a peripheral skill.Example: Enter “Head of Sales” to find companies building out their sales leadership — a strong signal they’re investing in revenue growth and may need sales tools.
What it detects: Live job listings matching your filters — pulled from a job-listing feed, not LinkedIn posts.Input: Any combination of job title, location, description keywords, job type, remote preference, agency filter, industry, and seniority. Every field is optional; fill in the ones that matter.How it works: Reads from a live feed of job listings across LinkedIn and major job boards. More precise than Hiring for Position for tracking real open roles, with fine-grained control over seniority, industry, and location. Supports advanced boolean syntax for job title and description.Example: Set title to "VP Sales" OR "Head of Sales", location to United States, seniority to Director/Executive, and agencies to “Exclude agencies” — tracks US companies appointing senior sales leadership.

Job Search signal reference

Full reference for every field, plus example configurations.
What it detects: Posts from people announcing they’ve joined a company or stepped into a new role.Input: Enter a job title (e.g. “CTO”, “VP of Sales”, “Head of Marketing”).How it works: Searches for posts matching terms like “joining”, “new role”, “started as”, “happy to share”, or “thrilled to announce” combined with your position. AI qualification confirms a real appointment — including personal announcements, company announcements, and congratulatory posts. Excludes unfilled job postings and interim roles.Example: Enter “VP of Engineering” to catch when companies appoint new engineering leaders — often followed by tech stack reviews and new tool purchases.
What it detects: Posts about companies opening offices or expanding to new locations.Input: Enter a city, region, or country (e.g. “Berlin”, “UK”, “New York”).How it works: Searches for posts mentioning “new office”, “new headquarters”, or “expanding to” combined with your location. AI qualification filters for genuine office openings and excludes remote work discussions or coworking promotions.Example: Enter “London” to track companies expanding into the UK market — they’ll likely need local vendors, partners, and services.

​
Sales Opportunities

Find people actively looking for solutions, expressing frustration, or sharing recommendations. These templates help you identify high-intent buyers at the moment they’re most receptive.
What it detects: People looking to hire an agency, consultancy, or freelancer in a specific industry.Input: Enter an industry or service type (e.g. “Marketing”, “Design”, “Software Development”).How it works: Searches for posts where the author is the buyer — asking for recommendations or describing an upcoming project. AI qualification rigorously excludes self-promotion, agencies advertising their own services, recruiter posts, job listings, and guides/listicles about choosing providers.Example: Enter “web development” to find business owners actively looking for a dev agency — real buying intent, not just people browsing.
What it detects: Posts where people ask for tool or service recommendations.Input: Enter a tool or service name (e.g. “Salesforce”, “HubSpot”, “Slack”).How it works: Searches for questions like “what’s the best…”, “anyone using…”, or “looking for alternatives to…”. AI qualification distinguishes between asking for and giving recommendations.Example: Enter “CRM” to find people evaluating CRM solutions — they’re in active buying mode and open to suggestions.
What it detects: Posts where people recommend or endorse a specific tool or service.Input: Enter a tool or service name (e.g. “Salesforce”, “HubSpot”, “Slack”).How it works: Searches for testimonials, “we switched to X” stories, and endorsements. Excludes posts asking for recommendations (those are captured by the separate template above).Example: Enter your competitor’s name (e.g. “HubSpot”) to find people publicly endorsing them. Engage with these posts to introduce your alternative while the topic is top of mind.
What it detects: People expressing genuine frustration with a specific tool or service.Input: Enter a tool or service name (e.g. “Salesforce”, “HubSpot”, “Slack”).How it works: Searches for complaints about bugs, poor support, pricing issues, or intent to switch. AI qualification ensures the frustration is first-hand and real — it excludes self-promotion disguised as pain-point marketing, secondhand commentary, and passing mentions.Example: Enter your top competitor’s name to catch people actively frustrated with them. These prospects are the most receptive to switching — reach out with empathy and a concrete alternative.
What it detects: Posts offering free resources (guides, templates, checklists) in exchange for engagement.Input: Enter a topic or niche (e.g. “SEO”, “cold outreach”, “SaaS Growth”).How it works: Searches for posts containing “comment” combined with “DM” or “send” and your topic. Identifies thought leaders and content creators offering resources in exchange for engagement in your space.Example: Enter “AI” to find people offering AI-related resources. The commenters on these posts are actively interested in the topic and worth monitoring.

​
Conferences

How to use: Add the conference’s page as a data source. Clearcue monitors who engages with the event profile — people mentioning they’re attending, sharing event content, or interacting with speaker posts. Example: Add the “SaaStr Annual” page as a data source before the event. You’ll build a list of confirmed attendees to reach out to ahead of time.

​
Basic Engagement

General-purpose engagement signals that work with any tracked profile or keyword search. These are the building blocks of signal stacking. Combine multiple basic engagement signals across different profiles to build a complete picture of intent.
