Coming Soon. Monitor is not available yet. This page describes what it is being built to do, so you can plan for it. Details may change before release. To hear when it ships, email support@avina.io.
A search tells you which companies match right now. Monitor will tell you when that changes. You give Monitor a list of companies and a condition. It checks the condition on a schedule and sends you an event when a company’s answer changes, with the same kind of evidence a search result carries.

​
What it is for

Track your accounts

“Tell me when any account in my CRM starts hiring SDRs.”

Watch a portfolio

“Tell me when a portfolio company announces an acquisition.”

React to each new occurrence

“Tell me each time one of these companies posts a job for a Head of Data.”

Keep a list current

“Tell me when a company on this list stops matching the profile I built it from.”

​
How it will work

1

Bring a list

Start from the results of a search, or supply your own companies.
2

Set a condition

Use the same language as search: structured filters, free-text criteria, or both. For example, “has an open SDR job”.
3

Choose a trigger

Fire when a company’s answer changes, such as from not hiring to hiring. Or fire on each new occurrence, such as every new matching job.
4

Receive events

Read events from a feed, or have them sent to a . Each event names the company, the condition, and the evidence.

​
Design principles

  • Events on change only. A company that keeps matching does not produce an event every day. You hear about it when the answer changes.
  • Unknown is not a change. If a check cannot be completed, no event is sent. A failed check never looks like a real change.
  • Spend limits. Monitoring has its own spend limits, per run and per period, in the same credits as search.
  • Evidence on every event. Each event carries the evidence for the condition, as search results do.

​
Until it ships

You can approximate monitoring today by running the same structured search on a schedule and comparing results:
  1. Use Parse once to turn your condition into a structured search_request, and store it.
  2. Run it daily with POST /companies/search, passing the domains you have already seen in exclude_domains.
  3. Treat each new result as a new match.
This finds new companies that match. It does not tell you when a company you already have changes, which is what Monitor adds. Monitor watches companies already on a list. Adding new matching companies to a list on a schedule is a separate planned feature.
