A good search isn't a one-time event — it's a definition of who you want to reach, and new people match it every week as they change jobs, get promoted, and join companies. Saved searches turn that into an automatic supply of fresh prospects.
What a saved search does
When you save a search, Conextly remembers the whole thing — filters, Boolean title, location, everything. It re-runs it on a schedule and watches for people who newly match. When someone does, they surface as a new match, ready for you to review and add to a list.
The result is a pipeline that refills itself. Instead of sitting down to search from scratch every Monday, you open Conextly to a short list of new people who fit criteria you already trust.
When new matches appear
People become new matches when the world changes in a way your search cares about:
- Someone takes a new job that fits your title and company filters.
- Someone gets promoted into the seniority band you target.
- Someone updates their profile so they now match a keyword or title you search for.
- A company grows or shifts into your headcount or industry filter.
These are exactly the moments when outreach lands best, because there's a real, current reason you're reaching out.
Setting one up
Build a search in Find, get the filters the way you want them, then save it and give it a name that tells you what it's for — "SaaS CMOs, US," "Agency founders 20–100," "New RevOps leaders." Name it for the segment, because you'll have several running at once and the name is how you'll tell them apart.
Getting the most from saved searches
- Save your best searches, not all of them. A saved search is only useful if you'd genuinely message the people it finds. Keep the ones tied to real, repeatable targeting; delete the experiments.
- Keep them tight. New-match alerts are most valuable when every match is worth acting on. A loose saved search floods you with noise; a tight one hands you a clean short list.
- Pair with job-change alerts. Saved searches watch for new people who match; Job-Change & Trigger Alerts watch the people you already saved. Together they cover both directions.
Where matches go
New matches wait for your review — nothing is added to outreach automatically. You look at each one, add the good fits to a list, and they flow into the normal draft-and-approve loop from there.
