A plain-English record of meaningful product updates, improvements, and fixes.
Find people by city, with their real job title
newSearch for people in a city. Funkel AI can also find more people in that city for you.
improvedFind people uses every filter in your search: role, seniority, department, industry, company size, company, and location.
fixedPeople show their current job title and their own location, not their LinkedIn headline or their company's head office.
improvedThe example searches on the Find people page now return people.
Connect Lusha
newConnect your own Lusha account with your Lusha API key and the email you log in to Lusha with. You can connect more than one key.
newImport a Lusha Table into a Funkel AI list. Funkel AI shows a preview first and skips people who are already in the list.
newFind work emails with Lusha for the leads you select, also for leads in Needs review and for people in a list.
newChoose when Funkel AI uses Lusha: Only when I ask, Lusha first, or Lusha as fallback. Lusha actions use your own Lusha credits.
newSee every Lusha run from your team in Results, with who started it, when, and how many emails it found.
improvedLusha settings show who saved them and when, and who connected the account.
newWatch the Lusha setup video in the How-to library.
Your lead budget lasts the month
improvedFunkel AI spreads your monthly lead budget over at least 15 days, so your agents keep finding people for most of the month.
Find leads before you connect LinkedIn
newYour agents can find leads and check how well they fit before you connect a LinkedIn account. In setup, you see the first people found. Then connect LinkedIn or email to contact them.
newAdd a lead pack in Billing to find more people each month. A pack renews each month, and you can stop it at any time.
improvedWhile you have lead budget left, Funkel AI searches for people for you, so your LinkedIn account does fewer searches. This helps keep your LinkedIn account safe.
improvedSearches on X use at most 20% of your monthly lead budget. The rest goes to finding people who match your buyer profile.
Bring your Funkel Scout leads with you
newUpgrade from Funkel Scout and your buyer profile and saved leads come with you, in a list called Funkel Scout leads.
improvedSetup uses your Funkel Scout leads in step 3. You can choose another source.
improvedReminder emails say why a campaign waits, for example messages that wait for your approval or leads that wait for review.
More detail in webhooks and Slack
newWebhooks can send lead.approved and campaign.paused events.
improvedEach webhook event has an ID and includes the product, campaign, list, channel, and sender account. Lead events include the name, company, title, LinkedIn URL, and email.
improvedSlack and Telegram new-lead messages say which product and agent found the lead.
Work from ChatGPT and Claude with fewer steps
improvedActions you confirm in ChatGPT or Claude run right away. Purchases, archiving, and deleting still open an approval page.
improvedYour ChatGPT or Claude connection stays signed in and renews itself.
We keep your account after you cancel
improvedIf you cancel, we keep your account and your data. Come back at any time, or reply to our email to get an export or to delete your data.
Follow-ups go out at the right time
fixedEach follow-up now waits the full number of days after the step before it, even when you send only on a few days a week.
fixedFunkel AI never adds the same LinkedIn person to one campaign twice.
fixedYou no longer get a "campaign is stuck" email when the first sends of a new campaign are still scheduled.
AI messages follow your language
improvedWhen you change the language, Funkel AI writes the unsent AI drafts again in the new language. This uses no credits. Drafts you wrote or edited stay as they are.
improvedAI messages use one form of address, for example du or Sie, in every step.
New how-to videos
improvedAll 16 how-to videos are new, with voice-over. The How-to page starts with one Start here path.
improvedIf you use Sales Navigator, Funkel AI now sends the same number of invites and messages as for LinkedIn Premium. Sales Navigator gives you better search, not a higher LinkedIn limit, so this helps keep your account safe.
Connect Salesforce
newBring Salesforce Leads and Contacts into a Funkel AI list. Check the people before you add them.
newSend people from your lists and campaigns to Salesforce. Funkel AI uses the matching Lead or Contact, or creates a new Lead if you choose.
newSave your sent invites, messages, emails, and replies in Salesforce as Tasks.
newWatch the Salesforce setup video in the How-to library.
Your data stays for 30 days after you cancel
improvedIf you cancel, we keep your account for 30 days after your plan ends. Come back in that time and your work is still there.
Find conversations faster in Inbox
newSearch Inbox by name, company, or words in a message.
newUse All, Needs reply, and Unread to see the conversations you want. Filter by channel, campaign, or sender account.
improvedInbox and LinkedIn conversations open faster. Profile photos show correctly.
AI messages that sound more natural
improvedAfter someone accepts your LinkedIn invite, the first message asks them a question. It does not sell your product.
improvedLater messages and replies introduce your product one time, in your own voice.
newChoose the language for the messages in each campaign.
Review messages without losing your place
fixedIf you reload the page, your changes to a message stay. After you click Generate, the same person stays open.
newUse the Sent filter to see messages that already went out. Generate for many people at once skips these messages.
