Not every social engagement is worth pursuing. A like is very different from a post explicitly asking for vendor alternatives. Signal Ark uses a warmth scoring model to quantify the intent behind every social engagement on a scale of 0 to 100 — and automatically promotes the best leads into your pipeline so you never miss a high-intent signal buried in the social feed.

How warmth scores are calculated

Every social engagement event receives a warmth score built from three components:

1. Base score by engagement type

The type of engagement sets the starting score. Higher-effort engagements signal stronger intent:
Engagement typeApproximate base score
Public mention or @tagHigh (60–80)
Original post with keyword matchHigh (65–80)
Detailed reply or thread commentMedium-high (50–70)
Post share or retweet with commentMedium (40–60)
Like or basic retweetLow (10–25)
FollowLow (10–20)
Exact base scores are set by Signal Ark’s scoring model and may vary by platform. For example, a detailed Reddit comment typically scores higher than an equivalent X like because the effort required is greater.

2. Recency decay

Warmth decays over time. An engagement from yesterday is significantly warmer than the same engagement from three weeks ago. The decay curve is steep — a signal that scores 75 today may fall below 40 within two weeks if no additional engagement occurs. This means fresh signals surface to the top of your feed naturally, and stale engagements do not clutter your pipeline.

3. Repeat multiplier

When the same person engages multiple times — across one platform or across multiple platforms — their warmth score compounds. A buyer who liked a post, replied to a thread, and then posted their own question about alternatives is demonstrating a pattern of interest, not a one-time reaction.
Repeat multipliers make it worth monitoring buyers over time rather than acting only on a single signal. A buyer who engages three times in a week is often in an active evaluation — a much better time to reach out than after a single like.

Auto-promotion to pipeline

Signal Ark eliminates the need to manually triage every social engagement. When a lead meets both of the following criteria, it is automatically promoted to your pipeline:

ICP tier: Ideal or Strong

The engager’s company must be resolved and match your ICP at the ideal or strong tier. Moderate and poor matches are not auto-promoted.

Warmth score ≥ 70

The calculated warmth score must be 70 or above at the time of evaluation. Engagements below this threshold remain in the social feed for manual review.
When a lead is auto-promoted, Signal Ark creates the following records automatically:
  • Account — created if it does not already exist, enriched with firmographic data
  • Contact — created for the engager, with additional enrichment via People Data Labs if needed
  • Signal — added to the account timeline with the social engagement as the source event
  • Pipeline entry — the account is added to the pipeline in the Prospecting stage
You will see the new lead in Deals within minutes of the engagement being processed.

CRM push criteria

Pushing a social lead to HubSpot or Salesforce has stricter requirements than pipeline auto-promotion. This prevents low-quality social signals from cluttering your CRM with contacts that have not yet demonstrated sufficient intent. A social lead is eligible for CRM push only when all of the following are true:
CriterionRequirement
Warmth score≥ 75
ICP tierideal or strong
Lead statusNot dismissed
Company identityKnown and resolved
Company domainSuccessfully resolved
Post content length≥ 20 characters (post + engagement combined)
Content qualityPasses generic-content guardrails
The generic-content guardrails check is a deterministic filter that rejects engagements whose content looks like generic AI-generated text or meaningless boilerplate. This ensures only genuine, human-authored social signals reach your CRM.
If a social lead fails the CRM push criteria, it still exists in your Signal Ark pipeline. You can review it, dismiss it, or manually push it to your CRM after verifying the contact is a genuine prospect.

Reviewing and acting on warm leads

All promoted social leads appear in Deals under the Prospecting stage and in Social Signals with the Promoted badge. From the social feed, each warm lead card shows:
  • The engager’s name, title, and company
  • The platform and post content that triggered the score
  • The warmth score and ICP tier
  • Whether the lead has been promoted and whether it has been pushed to your CRM
To act on a warm lead:
1

Open the lead

Click the lead card in Social Signals or Deals > Prospecting.
2

Review the signal context

Read the post or engagement that triggered the warmth score. This is the “why now” for your outreach.
3

Generate an AI message

Click Generate AI Draft to create a personalized message grounded in the specific engagement content. See AI Messages for details.
4

Enroll in a sequence

Click Enroll in Sequence to start a structured cadence. For competitive displacement leads, the Competitor Crisis Displacement sequence is recommended. See Sequences for setup details.

Dismissing a lead

If a promoted lead is not worth pursuing — wrong person, wrong company, or irrelevant content — click Dismiss on the lead card. Dismissed leads are removed from your pipeline and will not be pushed to your CRM. They remain visible in the social feed with a Dismissed badge for audit purposes.
