How to Build a Daily Warm Lead Digest with PQ Intel

Get a curated daily digest of warm leads delivered to Slack or email every morning — without manual scraping or endless tab-hopping.

Setup time: ~5 minutes Delivery: Slack or Email Plan: Growth+

The outcome

Every morning, you wake up to a curated list of warm leads — prospects who are actively showing buying intent across LinkedIn, Reddit, Hacker News, and more. Your SDRs skip the prospecting grind and jump straight into conversations that actually convert.

What a typical digest looks like

A Slack message or email containing 15-25 high-fit prospects, each with their ICP match score, the signal that triggered them, a link to their full PQ Intel profile, and a suggested next action. No noise, no irrelevant contacts — just your ICP, surfaced daily.

What you'll need

The setup takes about 5 minutes. Here's what you need ready:

  • An ICP profile configured in PQ Intel (target persona, industry, company size, title)
  • At least one signal threshold set (e.g., "warm" or "hot" classification)
  • A Slack webhook URL or email destination for digest delivery
  • An active PQ Intel Growth+ subscription

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Configure your ICP profile

    Define your ideal customer profile in ICP Configuration. Set target industries, company size ranges, job titles, and technologies used. PQ Intel uses this profile to filter every signal it ingests across 13+ platforms.

    Tip: Start broad and narrow down after your first digest review.
  2. 2

    Set signal thresholds

    In Signal Monitoring, define your threshold levels for warm and hot classifications. For example, a prospect mentioning a pain point your product solves on Reddit might score as "warm," while the same signal combined with a follow-on LinkedIn post rates as "hot."

  3. 3

    Choose your delivery channel

    Go to Settings > Integrations in PQ Intel. Connect a Slack webhook for in-app alerts or configure an email destination. Route your daily digest to a dedicated channel like #daily-warm-leads or to your team's shared inbox.

  4. 4

    Set your digest schedule

    Configure when your digest arrives each day. The default is 7:00 AM in your workspace timezone, but you can set any time. PQ Intel compiles signals from the prior 24 hours, ranks them by ICP match score, and bundles only prospects exceeding your warm threshold. You can also choose daily or weekly cadence per digest.

    Tip: Set a test delivery to yourself first to preview the format before rolling out to the team.
  5. 5

    Review your first digest

    Once configured, PQ Intel sends your first digest at the next scheduled time. Review the prospects, check the ICP match scores, and move the best ones into your pipeline via Pipeline. Adjust thresholds based on what you see — if too many low-fit prospects appear, tighten your ICP parameters.

    Tip: Use Campaigns to auto-enroll warm leads into an email sequence.
  6. 6

    Automate follow-up with campaigns

    Create a campaign in Campaigns that triggers when a lead appears in your digest. Set the first email to send within minutes of the digest landing. PQ Intel drafts contextual outreach anchored to the specific signal that surfaced each lead — no generic templates. Monitor reply rates and adjust your sequence copy based on what converts.

    Tip: A/B test two subject lines in your first campaign to identify which signal types drive the highest reply rates.

Common configurations

Teams adapt the daily warm lead digest to fit their specific workflow. Here are three common setups.

Multi-ICP

Separate digests per market segment

Run independent ICP profiles for SMB, mid-market, and enterprise. Each segment gets its own digest with tailored thresholds and a dedicated Slack channel. Your SMB team sees only SMB leads and enterprise team sees only enterprise leads — no cross-segment noise.

Real-time

Real-time alert overlay

Keep the daily digest as your morning briefing but layer in real-time Slack notifications for "hot" signals — prospects actively asking for recommendations or comparing vendors. Hot alerts fire immediately; everything else waits for the morning digest.

Automated

Campaign auto-enrollment

Bypass manual review entirely by auto-enrolling all warm leads into a standardized email sequence. Configure your campaign to pause enrollment when reply rates dip below a threshold, signaling that your ICP or messaging needs adjustment.

Who this workflow is for

Different roles use the daily digest differently. Here is how each team member benefits.

Features used

Frequently asked questions

How is a "warm lead" defined?

A warm lead is a prospect whose activity across monitored platforms matches your ICP and exceeds your configured signal threshold. Signals like posting about a known pain point, asking for vendor recommendations, or engaging with competitor content all count toward the warm score. You control the threshold definition in Signal Monitoring.

Can I get the digest sent before my workday starts?

Yes. In your digest delivery settings, you can set a preferred delivery time. The default is 7:00 AM in your configured timezone, but any time is supported. Digests are compiled from the prior 24 hours of signal activity.

What platforms do the signals come from?

PQ Intel monitors LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Reddit, Hacker News, Medium, Dev.to, Product Hunt, Telegram, and more. All signals are cross-referenced against your ICP profile before appearing in your digest.

Can I have multiple digests for different ICPs?

Absolutely. Each ICP profile you create can have its own digest with independent thresholds and delivery channels. This is especially useful for teams managing multiple market segments or product lines.

Can I pause the digest when I am on leave?

Yes. You can pause any digest from the Settings page. Paused digests stop sending but continue collecting signals in the background. When you resume, you get a catch-up digest summarizing everything you missed. This prevents gaps in your lead flow while giving you control over delivery.

What happens to leads I do not act on?

Unacted leads remain in your signal feed and are accessible from the full lead view at any time. They are not automatically dropped. If a prospect generates additional signals in subsequent days, they may reappear in future digests with an updated score. You can archive leads you have explicitly disqualified to keep your digest focused.
