Watch List & Target Account Alerts

Get instant alerts when your most important accounts visit

The Watch List lets you define a set of target account domains that matter most to your business. When any visitor from a watched domain hits your site, ClearView fires an alert instantly – via Slack, email, or webhook. No more manually checking the dashboard to see if a dream account showed up.

How It Works

Every page view that ClearView processes is checked against your Watch List. If the resolved company domain matches a watched entry, ClearView immediately dispatches a watchlist.hit event to your configured notification channels. The event includes the company name, domain, page visited, lead score, and any identified contacts.

Watch List entries also track a hit count so you can see at a glance how many times a target account has visited since being added. Each entry can be individually activated or deactivated without removing it from the list.

Setting Up Your Watch List

1

Navigate to Watch List

Open your ClearView dashboard and go to Watch List in the left sidebar. You will see your current watched domains and an option to add new entries.

2

Add Domains

Click "Add Domain" to add a single domain, or use the "Bulk Import" button to upload a CSV file. Enter the bare domain (e.g., acme.com) without http:// or www prefixes.

3

Configure Notifications

Go to Settings > Integrations to connect your notification channels. ClearView supports Slack (via webhook URL), email (up to 10 recipients), and custom webhooks for CRM or automation platforms.

4

Test Your Setup

Use the "Send Test Alert" button on any watched domain to verify your notification channels are working correctly. You will receive a sample watchlist.hit event.

5

Monitor and Manage

As alerts come in, review them in your connected channels. Use the dashboard to deactivate domains you no longer need to track or to add new ones from the Companies list.

CSV Bulk Upload Format

When importing domains via CSV, use a single-column file with one domain per row. The first row can optionally be a header (ClearView auto-detects headers). Example:
watch-list.csv
csv
domain
acme.com
globex.io
initech.com
hooli.xyz
piedpiper.com

Notification Channels

ClearView supports three alert delivery methods. You can enable multiple channels simultaneously so that alerts reach your team wherever they work.

Slack

Send alerts to a Slack channel via an incoming webhook URL. Messages include company name, domain, page visited, lead score, and a link to the ClearView dashboard.

Email

Receive email alerts with a summary of the visit. Configure up to 10 recipient addresses. Emails are sent immediately and include a direct link to the company profile in your dashboard.

Webhooks

Send a JSON payload to any URL when a watch list hit occurs. Use this to integrate with your CRM, Zapier, n8n, or any custom automation platform. The payload includes the full watchlist.hit event data.

Webhook Event Payload

When a watched domain is detected, ClearView sends the following JSON payload to your configured webhook endpoint:

watchlist.hit event
json
{
"event": "watchlist.hit",
"timestamp": "2026-04-10T14:32:00Z",
"data": {
"domain": "acme.com",
"companyName": "Acme Corp",
"page": "/pricing",
"referrer": "https://google.com",
"leadScore": 82,
"tier": "hot",
"hitCount": 7,
"contacts": [
{
"name": "Jane Smith",
"email": "jane@acme.com",
"title": "VP of Engineering"
}
]
}
}

Managing Watch List Entries

Each Watch List entry has three states and several actions available:

ActionDescription
ActivateEnable alerts for this domain. New visits will trigger notifications.
DeactivatePause alerts without removing the entry. Hit count is preserved. Useful during holidays or when accounts are already in active deals.
DeletePermanently remove the domain from your Watch List. Hit count history is lost.
View HitsSee a timeline of every visit from this domain since it was added to the Watch List.

Watch List & ABM Playbook

The Watch List is the foundation of an Account-Based Marketing (ABM) workflow in ClearView. Here is how it fits into a typical ABM playbook:

1. Define your target account list

Export your ICP accounts from your CRM and upload them to the Watch List via CSV.

2. Run targeted campaigns

Launch ad campaigns, content syndication, or outbound sequences aimed at your target accounts.

3. Detect intent signals

When a target account visits your site, ClearView fires alerts so your team can act immediately.

4. Prioritize with lead scores

Use the lead score and tier to decide whether to call, email, or nurture. Hot leads get immediate outreach.

5. Measure engagement

Track hit counts and score trends over time to measure campaign effectiveness and account engagement.

Pro Tip: Watch List + Outreach Drafts

When a watched account visits and ClearView identifies a contact, an outreach draft is automatically generated. Combine Watch List alerts with auto-generated drafts to respond to target accounts within minutes of their visit.
