Signal Context

Walkthrough Video

Overview

Signal Context is a powerful feature in BirdDog that allows you to add additional filters, qualifiers, and descriptive context to any signal.

It helps BirdDog understand exactly what you’re looking for — refining results, improving precision, and ensuring that your generated insights and outreach are aligned with your intent.

Why It Matters

  • Fine-tunes how BirdDog interprets each signal.
  • Adds nuance and specificity to your signal definitions.
  • Reduces irrelevant or overly broad signal matches.
  • Enables deeper personalization in research and email generation.

Adding Context to a Signal (0:00 – 1:09)

  1. Go to the Signals page in BirdDog.
  2. Find the signal you want to refine.
  3. Click the context icon next to that signal.
  4. In the new BirdDog Context box, you can type in additional detail about what you want BirdDog to consider.

Examples:
- “Only include accounts using research for outbound personalization.”
- “Exclude those using research for internal analysis.”
- “Only show results for companies based in the United States.”

You can add filters, qualifiers, or even descriptive phrases — anything that helps BirdDog better understand the intent behind your signal.

Updating and Applying Context (1:09 – 1:33)

After entering your context: 1. Click Update to save your changes.
2. BirdDog will immediately begin using your new context to refine how it processes that signal.
3. The updated signal will now generate narrower, more accurate results that better reflect your criteria.

Best Practices

  • Use natural language — describe what you mean, not just keywords.
  • Add qualifiers like location, intent, or use case to sharpen precision.
  • Adjust or expand context over time as you see how signals perform.
  • Use Signal Context to ensure AI-generated outputs match your desired scope.

Summary

Signal Context gives you granular control over how BirdDog interprets and executes signals.

  • Add detailed qualifiers or filters directly within any signal.
  • Refine the results to better match your goals and ICP.
  • Combine with Email Templates and Signal Automations for deeper personalization.

The result: smarter, context-aware signals that deliver the right insights for the right accounts, every time.
