Clay inbound connector with review before spend
newYou can connect Clay to a Funkel AI product and copy a unique inbound URL for Clay’s HTTP API action.
newClay company rows now land in a pending review queue instead of requiring a manual CSV export and import.
improvedReceiving a Clay row does not spend Funkel credits. The paid company search starts only after an authenticated confirmation.
newThe integration screen shows install, token management, inbound events, and the pending review flow.
Turn company CSV files into decision-maker leads
newThe Import action now supports both person CSV files and company-to-person decision-maker search.
newChoose target roles and selected companies before a paid search starts. Unselected companies remain available for later batches.
newFree preview shows mapping, duplicates, cache evidence, balance, and the server-calculated credit estimate.
newReview progress and candidate evidence, then approve one person, selected people, or all eligible people into a lead list.

Funkel Operator is ready for daily work
newFunkel Operator provides one workspace for product-aware requests, task progress, confirmations, and completed outcomes.
newContextual Operator launchers can start from the product, leads, campaigns, inbox, and other supported dashboard views.
improvedRisky actions require an explicit confirmation before execution, with durable task state and visible outcomes.
improvedOperator history and task states now work across desktop and mobile layouts.
Find leads from X posts
newLead Finder can now find people on X who are talking about problems your product solves.
newEach X lead includes the original post, so you can see why Funkel AI found them before you approve the message.

newA new how-to video walks through connecting calendar booking sync.
More reliable lead discovery and connection tracking

fixedConnection tracking is more conservative when LinkedIn gives unclear results, reducing the chance of good leads being marked lost too early.
improvedDisconnecting a sender now cleans up related campaign assignments more safely.
AppSumo redemption and self-serve add-ons
newAppSumo customers can redeem a code when creating an account or from an existing account.
newLifetime AppSumo access now counts as paid access inside the app, so the normal paywall no longer blocks redeemed accounts.
improvedAppSumo customers can buy extra products, additional LinkedIn or email accounts, more agents, and credit packs through Stripe instead of contacting support.
Insights, trusted agent runs, and a clearer signup flow
newInsights can now spot common campaign problems, recommend a fix, and apply approved changes with a confirmation step.
newCampaign Analyst, Message Writer, and Reply Assistant now record who ran the agent and which actions were taken, backed by AgentPassport.
improvedSignup and login were redesigned into a simpler single-column flow with clearer pricing, less visual noise, and a small AgentPassport trust badge.
improvedAgentPassport verification is more reliable during specialist work.
Clear pricing, safer campaign edits, and better lead lists
newPricing moved to one Growth plan with monthly, quarterly, and annual options, charged immediately with a 30-day money-back guarantee if Funkel AI is not a fit.
improvedThe app now matches the cleaner Funkel color palette used on the marketing site.

newWorkspace owners can now see a history of team role and permission changes.

newNew paid subscribers now receive a welcome email after checkout.
Better notifications and Reply Assistant drafts
improvedNotification rows now deep-link to the right inbox conversation, follow-up, contact, or leads page.
improvedThe notification center now separates action-required items from updates, with inline Done and mark-read controls.
newReply Assistant can use an optional context note before drafting a reply, and reply text supports browser dictation where available.
improvedTeam-only users are now pointed back to the right team workspace instead of being pushed toward checkout for an empty personal workspace.
Specialist views and lead proof

newLead Proof Cards explain why a lead was found, including the source signal, evidence snippets, fit notes, risks, and next step.
newWeekly Campaign Analyst briefs summarize campaign performance and learning points.

Email campaigns and mixed-channel outbound
newConnect an email mailbox as a sender connection and use it in campaigns alongside LinkedIn accounts.
newCreate email-first campaigns from lead lists when you want to reach buyers directly from a connected mailbox.
newBuild mixed LinkedIn and email sequences. Start with a LinkedIn invite or InMail, then add email follow-ups when a work email is available.
newEmail steps include AI-generated subject lines and body copy, so personalized email outreach uses the same campaign context as LinkedIn messages.
improvedEmail replies are tracked back to the lead and campaign, stop pending follow-ups, trigger reply events, and appear in Inbox with the conversation details beside them.
improvedSender limits now count connected LinkedIn accounts and email mailboxes as the same kind of sender connection, so teams can choose the mix that fits each campaign.
Timezones, settings tabs, daily digest, discovery polish, and playbooks
newNew /playbooks section on funkel.ai with eight step-by-step guides: recovering a flagged account, launching a competitor-pain campaign, switching off your agency, triaging a quiet funnel, follow-up sequences that convert, your first 30 days, building a signal mix by category, and running outbound from a single founder account.
newPer-user timezone in your profile. Campaign schedules, dashboard, and the scheduled-actions page all render in your local time, with a searchable timezone combobox in settings.
newSettings now has dedicated Account and Security tabs so profile, password, and session controls live in one place.
newDaily activity digest email summarizing the previous day across your apps. Plain text, opt-out from settings.
new"Why leads aren't reaching you" panel on the agent detail page. Shows the rejection breakdown so you can see whether your buyer profile is too narrow, your minimum score is too high, or the selected signals are finding too few leads.
newBeta accounts now earn up to 20 message credits for completing onboarding milestones.
improvedLinkedIn warmup is anchored on the date of your first send, not the connection date. New senders that wait before sending get the full 14-day ramp from the moment they actually start.
improvedLead discovery now handles DACH region filters more accurately and keeps more relevant leads when company-type rules already cover size.
fixedCampaign sequences now schedule and display follow-ups in the order you defined them.
fixedCampaign settings are easier to read: trigger lines show agent names, cards stay readable at narrow widths, and dropdown labels no longer squeeze.
Spark, the in-app AI assistant
newSpark is a chat-based AI assistant inside Funkel. Ask it to draft messages, create a campaign draft, edit your buyer profile, approve leads, or pause agents. For higher-risk actions, Spark asks for confirmation before it changes anything.
newConversation threads with inline rename, delete, and a collapsible rail. The Spark sidebar entry carries a BETA badge while we keep widening the toolset.
newMarkdown rendering for assistant messages, per-message Copy and Regenerate, code-block Copy, an inline streaming cursor, and a Stop generating button while the model is mid-response.
newSpark can read apps, agents, campaigns, analytics, and leads so it can answer questions. Write actions require confirmation before they touch your data.
App switcher for multi-app accounts, faster app setup
newSidebar now has a persistent app switcher when you run two or more apps. The selected app scopes Inbox, Leads, Contacts, and Analytics so different products no longer blur together. "All apps" stays the default for cross-app triage.
improvedLead approval respects the active app: the campaign dropdown only lists campaigns from the selected app, preventing a lead from one product being routed into another product's campaign by mistake.
newAdding an app without a URL now accepts a pasted product description. AI fills in the name, description, and buyer profile using the same flow as URL analysis, so apps without a public site can still be set up in one step.
Help center, blog, and a clearer pitch
newHelp center is live with the first guides on connecting LinkedIn, signals, billing, and webhooks. More articles landing each week.
newStarted the blog. Five posts so far on signal-based outbound, account safety, and the craft of writing messages that get replies. RSS available at /blog/feed.xml.
