Signals

Signals is the queue your scouts fill. Every Signal is one thing worth your attention — an unanswered thread, a relationship going quiet — with a priority, the evidence it was built from, and the actions you can take without leaving the page.

​

The queue

Open Signals from the sidebar (or press g then s). The sidebar badge counts what is in New. Signals are grouped into four tabs: Every Signal carries a priority: Urgent, This week, This month or FYI. Filter by priority with the picker above the list. A fifth, lowest tier has no name and is hidden until you switch on Show low-priority Signals. Until a scout has run, the page shows only No Signals yet and a button to set up a scout.

​

Reading a Signal

Click a Signal to open it beside the list:

• Why this priority — one line explaining the ranking, naming the facts it rests on (for example how many days someone has waited) and where they came from.
• Evidence — what the scout saw, with Open in Inbox for a thread or Open link for a page. Only web links are shown as links.
• View task — once a Signal has become a task, a link to it.

​

Acting on a Signal

Each action confirms with a short message; where it makes sense the message offers Undo.

Where Signals come from

Each scout run records what it found; the same thread found again tomorrow updates yesterday’s Signal rather than creating a second one. A notification, A scout found something, goes to the person who switched the scout on and links straight to the Signal. Signals inherit their scope from the scout: a scout watching Your accounts produces Signals only you can see; one watching The whole organisation produces Signals your whole team can see and act on.
