Use when a teammate wants ad-hoc PredictLeads signals for a single company, asks "what's happening at [company]", "signals for [domain]", "enrich [domain] with PredictLeads", "pull jobs/funding/news for [company]", or wants to read previously cached signals from local SQLite without burning new credits.

PredictLeads Signals (single company)

Pulls and reads company-level intent signals from PredictLeads: job openings, financing events, technologies, news events, similar companies. Stored in local SQLite (company_signals table) with a 7-day TTL cache so repeat lookups within the week cost zero credits.

When to use

  • Quick lookup before an outbound message: "what's happening at hubspot.com?"
  • Adding signal context to a single lead during qualification
  • Reading cached signals offline (no API call) via signals:show
  • Sanity-checking a company's marketing maturity (tech stack, hiring pace)

Don't use when: enriching a list of >5 companies (use predictleads-lookalikes for discovery, or the bulk signals:enrich --result-set); building a campaign (use prospect-discovery-pipeline).

Quick reference

# Pull all 4 signal types for one company (1 credit per type = 4 credits)
npx tsx src/cli/index.ts signals:fetch --domain hubspot.com

# Restrict to specific types (saves credits)
npx tsx src/cli/index.ts signals:fetch --domain hubspot.com --types jobs,funding

# Force re-fetch even if cached within TTL
npx tsx src/cli/index.ts signals:fetch --domain hubspot.com --no-cache

# Read cached signals locally (no API call, free)
npx tsx src/cli/index.ts signals:show --domain hubspot.com --limit 20
npx tsx src/cli/index.ts signals:show --domain hubspot.com --type news

Cost

OperationCredits
signals:fetch (4 types, default)4
signals:fetch --types jobs,funding2
signals:fetch re-run within 7 days0 (cache hit)
signals:show0 (local read)

Live PredictLeads quota: hit /api_subscription once via curl to see remaining credits. Or just run signals:fetch and the output prints cache hit / +N signals per type.

Signal types and aliases

jobs (job_opening), funding (financing), tech (technology), news, similar (similar_company)

Common pitfalls

  • Domain format: pass the bare domain (hubspot.com), not https://hubspot.com or www.hubspot.com. The service tolerates either but URLs in payloads are cleaner.
  • News and tech rows look empty in signals:show: payloads use summary (news) and resolved relationships (tech) instead of title. The display already falls through to summary. If you see blanks, check the raw payload via sqlite3 ~/.gtm-os/gtm-os.db "SELECT payload FROM company_signals WHERE domain='X' LIMIT 1".
  • Cache invalidation: 7 days is the default TTL. Pass --no-cache to force a refresh. Caching is per (domain, signal_type), so refreshing news doesn't re-pull jobs.

Required env

PREDICTLEADS_API_KEY + PREDICTLEADS_API_TOKEN in ~/.gtm-os/.env. Both come from the same PredictLeads subscription page. See TEAM_SETUP.md at repo root for how to get them.
