Creating watchlists

What is a watchlist?

A watchlist is a list of companies or keywords you want Revnox to monitor. Each watchlist is checked at the frequency you choose, hourly, daily or weekly, and Run now on its card checks it at once. For a company, a check looks for news such as funding rounds and launches, job openings, tech stack changes, and changes in headcount and leadership. A keyword is searched for in news and public discussion.

Creating your first watchlist

Step 1: Name it

Open Watchlists in the sidebar and click New Watchlist. Give it a descriptive name like "YC W25 Batch" or "Series A SaaS".

Step 2: Add company domains

Enter one domain per line:

  • vercel.com
  • linear.app
  • posthog.com

Start with 10-25 companies. You can always add more.

Step 3: Choose signal types

By default all signal types are enabled. If you only care about funding and hiring, uncheck the rest to reduce noise.

Step 4: Set frequency

  • Hourly: recommended for hot prospects
  • Daily: good for larger watchlists
  • Weekly: for broad market monitoring

Step 5: Save and run

Click save, then Run now on the watchlist's card to check it at once. Signals appear on the Signals page as each source finishes, and a quiet company can produce none.
