A signal is an event that tells the system something changed about an account or a person, the raw material every score and decision is made from. ## What counts as a signal * **What they do on your surfaces**: site visits, pricing-page views, form fills, demo requests, email opens and replies. * **What changes at the company**: hiring for the problem you solve, new leadership, funding, adopting a tool you integrate with. * **What your systems say**: CRM stage changes, deal activity, product events where connected. ## Where signals come from First-party first: [the pixel](/integrations/events-and-pixels.md) and your connected tools carry the highest trust, because they are observed, not reported. Enrichment and intent sources add the outside view. When sources conflict, trust order decides; see [Context and memory](/concepts/context-and-memory.md). ## Two properties that matter * **Signals attach to identities, not sessions.** A signal is only useful once it belongs to a resolved person or account, which is why [identity](/audience/identity.md) and clean domains come first. An event that cannot resolve waits; it is not guessed onto someone. * **Signals age.** A pricing visit last week is not one from last quarter. Freshness is built into scoring through Recency, so the picture decays honestly instead of accumulating forever. ## What signals do They move [FIRE scores](/audience/fire-scoring.md), they trigger pulses when a moment needs a human, and they start plays whose conditions they meet. A strong single signal, a demo request, say, can flip an account Hot and set the loop in motion within the moment it happens. {% hint style="info" %} How fresh signals arrive follows your plan: daily-batched on Pro, live stream on Team and above. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.aloop.icustomer.ai/audience/signals.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
