Watchlists help you track and monitor a list of companies for relevant business opportunities and challenges. Smart Agents, such as "Leadership Changes", "Expanding Operations", are used to gather company-specific news from various sources and displayed in the Watchlist. You can also choose to receive these updates by email.

 

There are two types of Company Watchlists you can create:

 

  • Static Watchlist: Allows you to add companies using InsideView and set email alert notifications for these companies. You cannot share this Watchlist.                                                                                   
  • Automated CRM Watchlist: You can import a list of companies from your Salesforce CRM and create an automated Watchlist. Any changes you make in your CRM automatically reflect in your InsideView Watchlist. 

 

Availability:

FREE (One Static Watchlist - up to 10 Companies)

PRO (One Static Watchlist - up to 200 Companies)

TEAM (Up to 5 Static Watchlists with up to 200 Companies each. Can use Automated Watchlists if using salesforce.com)

 

For more information on Smart Agents see the related article in the Knowledge Base.
