Ultimate Glossary of Signals

Every signal Tapistro can receive, with the object it attaches to, its data type, and what it captures.

Tapistro can receive signals from many activities and sources: your website, CRM, email and calling tools, ad platforms, social media, intent providers, news, job postings, and public records. This glossary lists every signal, the object it attaches to, its data type, and what it captures.


How to read the table

Object is what the signal attaches to: a Person or an Account. Some signals exist for both.

Data Type tells you where the data originates:

  • 1st party: activity on your own properties and systems, such as your website, emails, calls, CRM, and hosted events.

  • 2nd party: data a partner or provider shares with you, such as topic intent, review site intent, or conference attendee lists.

  • 3rd party: data compiled by a vendor from external sources, such as technographics, social posts, or job changes.

  • Public: publicly available information, such as funding news, IPOs, government contracts, and job postings.
