View LinkedIn social signals

You'll learn how to: use the Watch Signals section in Engage, understand its limits, and review the raw LinkedIn posts that produced each alert.

Time: 5 minutes per pass.

Prereqs:

• The Nynch Chrome extension is installed.
• The contact is in a rhythm with Monitor LinkedIn posts turned on.
• If you want alerts, the same rhythm also has Create business-signal alerts turned on.

What this screen actually shows

Engage now has two layers:

1. Watch Signals at the top. These are business-signal alerts derived from monitored LinkedIn posts.
2. Raw LinkedIn posts underneath. These are the stored posts themselves, kept as proof and source material.

This screen is not a single merged timeline of every signal source in Nynch. It is specifically the monitored-LinkedIn-post surface.

Important limits

The feature is useful, but it is not magic:

• Post collection only runs while LinkedIn is open.
• Only 30 monitored contacts are queued per collection cycle.
• A post becomes a Watch Signal only when Monitor LinkedIn posts and Create business-signal alerts are both on.
• If posts were scraped before signal extraction ran, you may need to use Analyze stored posts.

Steps

1. Open Engage in the sidebar.
2. Stay on the Engage tab.
3. Use the top filters if needed:
   • Rhythm / List to focus on one rhythm or active deals.
   • Sort to move between most recent, needs attention, relevance, or warmest contacts.
   • Warmth to hide colder relationships.
4. Review the Watch Signals cards first.
5. Open the original post when you need proof or extra context.
6. Use Pursue if you want to act on a signal, or Dismiss if it is noise.
7. Scroll down to Raw LinkedIn posts when you want the full underlying post stream.

When the section is empty

• No signals, but posts exist: the posts were stored, but alerts have not been derived yet. Use Analyze stored posts.
• No posts at all: the extension has not collected anything yet. Leave LinkedIn open while browsing and make sure the contact is in a monitored rhythm.
• You are monitoring more than 30 contacts: not everyone is covered on every pass. The queue rolls through them over time.

Good ways to use it

• Treat Watch Signals as a shortlist, not as a complete market-monitoring system.
• Use the raw posts underneath when you want to quote or sanity-check what triggered the alert.
• If you care about one specific person, keep them in a monitored rhythm instead of assuming the whole network is covered.

If something goes wrong

• Symptom: "I can see posts but no alerts." -> Fix: turn on Create business-signal alerts for that rhythm, or use Analyze stored posts if the posts were scraped earlier.
• Symptom: "I turned it on but nothing new is coming in." -> Fix: collection only runs while LinkedIn is open, and only 30 monitored contacts are queued per cycle.
• Symptom: "This feels incomplete." -> Fix: it is. This surface only covers monitored LinkedIn posts, not every signal source in the product.
