Intent Signal Activation — from buying signal to sequence

Cold calling is dead. What works: the right signal, the right timing, the right message — all automated.

What is Activate Intent Signals?

Intent signal activation is the automatic triggering of outreach when an account fires a buying signal — e.g. new hiring posting for your buyer persona, funding round, new location, or change in a key role. Signal-driven outbound typically converts 4–8× higher than cold outreach.

Amplifa scans thousands of sources daily — LinkedIn, press releases, company registries, job postings, funding databases — and maps every signal to your ICP. When a relevant signal fires, a signal-aware sequence with contextual opener starts automatically.

How to set up this workflow

  1. 01 — Pick signal library. 30+ pre-built signal types — pick 3–5 relevant ones for your ICP.
  2. 02 — Set ICP filter. Industry, size, region, tech-stack — signal only in matching context.
  3. 03 — Select sequence template. Per signal type a dedicated sequence with dynamic opener.
  4. 04 — Activate daily scan. Amplifa scans daily; new hits land directly in the sequence.
