Turn reactions on your posts into leads

Your profile agent collects the people who react to or comment on your own public posts, then matches and ranks them against your ICP every 24 hours.

Updated 4 min read

The Your profile agent reads the public posts on your own LinkedIn profile and collects everyone who reacts to them or comments on them. Those people already know who you are, which makes them a warmer start than a cold list. The same agent reads the comments you leave on other people’s posts.

Turn it on

  1. Add your own profile

    Go to Watchlist (/watchlist), choose Add monitor, paste your public URL under LinkedIn profile URL, pick Your profile under Why you are watching, and choose Add profile. You can also start from Agents (/agents): New agent, then Your profile, asks for the same URL.

  2. Check the agent appears

    Adding your profile puts one card on Agents: Your profile, reading “Your posts and comments”. It reads your posts and the comments you leave, and its switch pauses both. There is one per own profile, and you can add several own profiles within your watched profile cap; with two, each card names whose they are, such as “Priya Shah’s posts and comments”.

  3. Save your ICP

    The people found are matched against your ideal customer profile, so save it before the first scan finishes.

What gets captured

Each scan collects your recent public posts, then the engagement on each one:

  • Reactions, stored by type: Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, Funny, and the older Interest and Appreciation.
  • Comments, with the comment text kept as evidence you can quote in outreach.

Quote posts count as your posts. Bare reshares of someone else’s post are skipped, and reposts of your posts are not collected.

Every post is classified into a topic, which sets how much its engagement counts: a product or case study post weighs more than a personal or hiring post. Every comment is classified for intent, from purchase intent and pain alignment at the top to casual at the bottom. That is why two commenters can score very differently: one wrote “congrats”, the other described the problem you sell into.

What happens after collection

  • People are resolved. Each engager is stored once per workspace, so the same person reacting to five posts is one lead with five signals.
  • ICP matching. New people are matched against your ICP on role, company, and what they wrote.
  • Enrichment. ICP matches have their public profile read first, then the ten strongest non-matching engagers. Each scan enriches up to 60 people; the rest roll over to the next scan.
  • Scoring. Everyone is rescored. A comment outweighs any reaction, and Insightful or Love outweigh a plain Like. Repeat and recent engagers rise. A post with more than twice your usual engagement is damped, so a thousand drive-by likes on one viral post do not outrank a handful of comments on a post that mattered. See how lead scoring works.

The people found appear on the leads list and, when they are strong enough, in the Priority Queue. Each post and its engagers are on the Posts page under Your posts.

Cadence and collection limits

The agent scans every 24 hours, and that cadence is fixed. Each scan also re-reads the last seven days of posts so late reactions are not missed, and a weekly pass reaches back 90 days.

Each scan is bounded, on every plan:

LimitPersonal profileCompany page
Posts per scanUp to 3015 on the first scan, 5 after
Reactions per postUp to 100Up to 25
Comments per postUp to 100Up to 15

The first scan reaches further back than later ones; see what the first scan reads.

Troubleshooting

  • No leads after the first scan. Check that the profile has public posts and that people engaged with them. The dashboard’s history card names which was missing. Then work through no leads in your queue yet.
  • People show up who are clearly not buyers. Expected on a post that travelled outside your niche. Correct the match on the lead, and future matching learns from it.
  • A scan failed. Open the agent’s details on Agents and read the message. A profile LinkedIn could not read needs a URL check; a temporary data outage clears on retry. See pause an agent and read its scan history.
  • The agent card says Inactive. The workspace is on Free. See find out why your agents stopped scanning.

Frequently asked questions

Does Embers see private engagement or my LinkedIn inbox?
No. It reads public reactions and comments on public posts. There is no login, no cookie, and no browser extension.
Do reposts of other people's content get scanned?
Bare reshares are skipped. A quote post with your own commentary counts as your post and is scanned. Reposts of your posts are not collected as engagement.
Can I track my posts without the comments I leave?
No. Both are one agent, Your profile, which comes with your own profile. Add the profile on the Watchlist with the Myself tag, and Embers starts reading your posts and your comments together. One switch pauses both.
