What's new in Embers

Embers plans are now priced by the signal sources you watch, not by connected LinkedIn accounts. Every self-serve plan is exactly one workspace: one ICP, one set of watched profiles and keywords, one lead book.

What changed

• Solo stays $49 per month, or $39 per month billed annually: one member, 5 watched profiles, 10 keywords, standard support.
• Growth is the new name for Team: $99 per month, or $79 per month billed annually, with unlimited members, 10 watched profiles, 25 keywords, and priority support.
• Enterprise is new: $199 per month, or $159 per month billed annually, with unlimited members, 20 watched profiles, 50 keywords, priority support, and dedicated onboarding.
• Agency is now a plan of its own, priced per client workspace with volume pricing by client count. Each client gets its own workspace with 20 watched profiles, 50 keywords, unlimited members, and client-level reporting. Email viraj@useembers.com for a quote; there is no self-serve checkout.
• Watched profiles replace LinkedIn accounts. Any public profile you watch, including your own, is a watched profile with a role. Your own profile is optional, added from the same list, and you can add several within the cap. There are no seats and no extra-account add-on.
• Members are never billed. Growth, Enterprise, and Agency include unlimited members.
• Onboarding now runs audience, business, ICP, add profiles, preview, reveal, then plan. Solo, Growth, and Enterprise start with the 7 day card trial.

Lead webhook payloads no longer include account.type (founder or ghostwriter). That flag never drove behaviour, and workspace setup (solo, team, or agency) already covers the same split.

What changed

• The signed webhook envelope still carries account.id and account.name. Use those to route events for more than one client account.
• schema_version is now 2026-09-10. api_version stays 2026-07-20.
• Settings no longer has an Account Type picker. Copy that used to say “your client’s leads” follows the agency workspace preset instead.

See the webhook payload reference.

Embers is now priced per LinkedIn account, and Team is one shared book of business instead of three isolated slots.

What changed

• Solo is the label for the starter plan: one LinkedIn account, one member, $49 per month or $39 per month billed annually.
• Team includes two LinkedIn accounts at $99 per month or $79 per month billed annually. Extra LinkedIn accounts are $59 per month, or $49 per month billed annually, when checkout offers the add-on.
• Agency is not a separate price. It is the Team SKU framed per client workspace: one lead book, watchlist, and report per client.
• Members are not LinkedIn accounts. Invite people to work the same queue. Buying another LinkedIn account is a separate action.
• Lead owners live on Team. The leads list has an Owner column so two people do not message the same person.
• Watchlist and keyword caps apply per connected LinkedIn account (5/10 on Solo, 10/25 on Team).

This supersedes the older “this is not a new Agency plan” framing: there is still no Agency SKU. Agency is a mode of Team, priced per LinkedIn account.

Until today, the only way to find out exactly how a destination behaved was to ask us. That answer now has a permanent home at the help center.

What is there

• Getting started: what Embers is and is not, the quickstart, connecting a public LinkedIn profile, and defining your ICP.
• Signals and leads: how the four agents collect engagement, how scoring works, ICP matching, and the company blocklist.
• Every destination: Slack, HubSpot, signed webhooks with a payload reference and signature verification, the Zapier, Make, Clay and n8n recipes, and CSV export.
• Account and billing: plans and limits, the trial, changing plans, cancelling, and notification settings.
• Troubleshooting: an empty queue, a paused Slack, HubSpot, or webhook destination, and missing email.

How it works

Search with Cmd+K or the slash key. Articles have a light and a dark theme. Every article is also published as plain Markdown at the same address with a .md suffix, so you can hand one to an assistant instead of copying screenshots.

One correction

The lead webhooks feature page previously implied that webhooks were available on the Free plan. They are not, and never have been. Slack, HubSpot, webhooks, and CSV export are all Solo and above, and are configured by an account administrator. The page and the machine-readable product files now say so.

The blocklist in Settings → Account used to be a list you kept. Now it is a filter the whole product obeys.

Blocked means blocked

Block a company once and everyone who works there disappears from the lead list, the Today queue, stats, CSV exports, client reports, digest emails, notifications, and every delivery destination you have connected: Slack, HubSpot, and signed webhooks. Nothing you blocked reaches an outreach tool.

• Matching runs on the company name, so acme.com also catches “Acme”, “Acme Inc”, and “Acme, Inc.”
• Current role matters. Someone who used to work at a blocked company still shows up.
• Remove an entry and those leads come back within a minute.

Block a company without leaving the queue

• From a lead: “Block Acme” sits next to the company name on the lead page and in the detail panel.
• From the Today queue: it is in the “More” menu on each card.
• In bulk: select leads in the table and use “Block company”. The confirm dialog names every company in the selection before anything happens.

Each block tells you how many other leads went with it, and the blocklist shows how many leads each entry is currently hiding.

Your own company is blocked for you

When you connect your LinkedIn profile or define your ICP, we add your own company to the blocklist automatically and label it. Teammates stop arriving as leads on day one. You can remove the entry whenever you want, and we never remove it for you.

This September, qualified leads can land in the Slack channel your team already lives in. Connecting a profile also starts from public history, and Team workspaces can keep more than one client isolated.

Slack delivery

Connect Slack from Settings → Integrations. Install the workspace, pick a channel, and send a test. After that, new lead cards post when someone qualifies.

• Get hot LinkedIn leads in Slack the moment they engage. No more tab-hopping to check Embers
• Every alert includes why they’re a fit plus the evidence, so your team can reply in one click
• Contact fields stay on the payload (when enriched) so you can act without opening another tool

Also shipping this month

• Connecting a profile now looks back at public history (up to 12 months), so the first queue can include people who already engaged instead of starting empty.
• A unified watchlist lets you follow public LinkedIn profiles beyond your own: competitors, investors, teammates, advisors, and client founders. Starter can watch five public profiles and Team ten.
• Team workspaces can keep isolated clients under one operator, with a switcher and branded client reports. This is not a new Agency plan.
• ICP Watching now distinguishes a rescore in progress from an honestly empty list after you edit ICP.
• Checkout keeps trial access until payment completes or is abandoned.

The Embers affiliate program is now open to creators, consultants, operators, and communities that help founder-led B2B teams make better LinkedIn pipeline decisions.

Earn recurring commission

Approved partners earn 20% recurring commission on eligible net subscription revenue from referred customers for the lifetime of the customer relationship.

The program uses a 30-day referral window. Commissions remain pending for 30 days and approved balances are paid monthly through PayPal after the balance reaches 50 USD.

Track referrals in one place

The Affonso partner dashboard provides a personal referral link and reporting for visits, leads, conversions, and commission status.

Embers now carries eligible referral data from the first visit through signup and Dodo Payments checkout. This keeps the affiliate record attached to the customer journey without adding it manually at payment time.

Promote the product accurately

The new partner resource kit includes current positioning, approved product facts, disclosure examples, ready-to-adapt social and email copy, and downloadable brand assets.

The core rule is simple: teach a useful LinkedIn signal workflow first, then show where Embers makes that workflow repeatable. Partners may not publish fabricated results, fake dashboards, private customer data, or unverified performance claims.

Read the program details, use the partner resources, or review the affiliate terms before applying.

Embers is adding a focused Today queue for the leads that deserve attention now.

Start with a prioritized queue

The Today queue combines ICP fit, signal age, lead status, and follow-up timing. Each item explains why it is prioritized and keeps the original signal attached.

You can open the LinkedIn profile, mark the lead as contacted, snooze it, dismiss it, or move directly to the next useful action.

Record what happened

Lead outcomes now support replies, meetings, opportunities, customers, no response, and not relevant.

This creates a clearer connection between a public buyer signal and the pipeline result it produced.

Reports now summarize contacted leads, replies, meetings, opportunities, and customers. They also show conversion rates, recorded opportunity and customer values, and results by signal source.

Keep control of every action

Embers does not send messages, connection requests, comments, or reactions. Suggested actions remain under your control.

See clear plan limits

Starter includes one connected LinkedIn account, five watched public profiles, and ten keywords. Team includes three connected accounts, ten watched profiles, 25 keywords, contact information when available, team invitations, white-label reports, and priority support. (Updated September 2026: watched profiles cover competitors, influencers, investors, and teammates on one count; the separate competitor number this post originally listed is gone.)

Both plans include the signal workflow, lead scoring, drafts, notes, follow-ups, reports, sharing, and signed lead webhooks.

The Today queue and outcome tracking are available now.

LinkedIn posts often keep attracting reactions and comments long after they are published. Embers now keeps those growing conversations in sync for longer, while making sure downstream automations receive the right people and the right context.

Keep growing posts in sync

Embers now revisits up to 90 days of your posts during the scheduled engagement refresh. This captures people who react or comment after the first scan, including activity that arrives several weeks later.

Existing workspaces receive a catch-up refresh automatically. After that, Embers revisits the full 90-day window every week and uses a smaller rolling refresh between those runs. Post engagement totals are rebuilt from the detailed reaction and comment records, so the people shown in Embers stay aligned with the activity available from LinkedIn.

Newly discovered engagers continue through ICP classification and scoring. If they qualify, they can enter the connection, messaging, or CRM workflows you already configured.

Send qualified leads to your automations

The new lead webhook now follows the same definition as the default Leads view. It is sent only when a positive-scoring engager matches your ICP or is manually approved.

People who do not match your ICP remain available in the broader engager view, but they no longer trigger a new lead webhook. This keeps connection campaigns and CRM automations focused on the prospects they were designed to reach.

Webhook delivery now waits for profile enrichment to finish, which makes role and company details more complete. Current work history and profile headlines provide additional fallbacks when LinkedIn does not return a structured job title.

Review webhook activity more easily

The Webhooks page now uses the same wider layout and pagination patterns as the rest of Embers. Delivery rows identify the person or report involved, show useful context at a glance, and support server-side filtering by status and event type.

Delivery details lead with the event summary and attempt history. Raw JSON remains available when you need it, but it stays collapsed until you choose to inspect or copy it. Older events that were created for a non-ICP engager are labeled clearly as historical engager events.

Search leads, posts, and comments from one place

Global search now searches account content instead of only matching navigation commands. Results can take you directly to a lead or comment, while broader actions open filtered views for leads, posts, and comments.

Search results include useful lead context such as names, companies, and job titles, making it easier to find someone without first opening the Leads table.

Recover agent work more reliably

Pending engagement backfills can start as soon as they are due instead of waiting for the next normal agent interval. If a server interruption happens after data is fetched, Embers now requeues normalization so that completed work is not silently discarded.

Together, these updates keep engagement counts fresher, protect lead automations from non-ICP engagers, and make it easier to understand what Embers sent and why.

The best lead workflow keeps the useful context moving without adding another dashboard to maintain. This July, Embers made that path clearer from a new LinkedIn signal to the next action your team takes.

Send qualified lead activity into your workflow

Lead webhooks are now available from the Developer area. Configure a destination, choose the lead events that matter, and inspect delivery history without leaving Embers.

Each delivery includes clear status information and the context needed to troubleshoot a failed request. Profile avatars and webhook history also hold up better when your workspace has more activity to review.

Review and export leads with less friction

Lead drill-downs are easier to navigate, and CSV exports now respect the exact page of leads you are viewing. That makes it simpler to share a focused working set instead of cleaning up an oversized export later.

Filters and overlays behave more reliably on mobile, so reviewing a lead or changing a view does not interrupt the rest of your workflow.

Make setup and account changes more predictable

Onboarding recovery is clearer when a step needs another pass, and the dashboard is faster and easier to navigate with assistive technology.

We also improved billing self-service, including scheduled plan changes, so account updates are easier to understand before they take effect.

Sharper context for every decision

The ICP editor now gives you more room to describe the people and companies you want to reach. Small improvements across authentication, account selection, and reliability help keep that context available when you need it.

Smaller improvements

• Lead profile details and webhook delivery views are easier to scan.
• Mobile setup and filter interactions are more dependable.
• Dashboard loading and accessibility are improved across day-to-day navigation.
• Error reporting is more resilient, so problems are easier for our team to identify and fix.

These updates share one goal: help you move from a LinkedIn signal to a thoughtful next step with less busywork in between.
