List Monitors
Get a daily email when people on a team list post something you care about.
A monitor watches everyone on a team list and emails you a daily digest of their new activity: hiring posts, launches, job changes, fundraises, or anything else.
Requirements
- A team list. Personal lists can't be monitored.
- A Starter plan or higher.
- Permission to manage the list's members (the owner, or a team collaborator or admin on a list shared with Team members or Anyone with link).
- A linked email. If you don't have one, add it in Settings.
Set up a monitor
- Open the list from
app.icebreaker.xyz/teams/{your-domain}/lists. - Click Monitor in the list header.
- Leave the switch on.
- Optional: add a Filter in plain language, for example
fundraisingorproduct launches. Leave it empty to get all activity. - Click Save.
The button changes to Monitoring, and the list shows a Monitoring tag on your Lists page.
When digests arrive
Digests go out daily around 9am ET to the email shown in the dialog. Saving doesn't send one right away. Your first digest arrives at the next run.
Edit or turn off
Click Monitoring, change the filter or flip the switch off, then click Save. Turning a monitor off keeps your filter so you can turn it back on later.
Each list has one monitor. If a teammate saves it, they become the recipient.
Example filters
Write filters the way you'd describe them to a teammate.
| Filter | What you'll get |
|---|---|
All hiring updates | Open roles, new hires, and team growth posts |
Major product launches, fundraising, or other announcements | Big company news worth a congrats or a follow-up |
Job changes and promotions | New roles, so you can reach out at the right time |
New investments | Deals an investor just did |
Posts about AI infrastructure | Anything on a topic you care about |
| (empty) | Every update from people on the list |
Examples
Trusted connections. Build a list of people you're closest to and monitor it with no filter. You'll see every update, so you never miss a chance to reach out.
Investors. Monitor a list of investors in your space with the filter new investments or fundraises. Spot who's actively writing checks before you pitch.
Experts or journalists in your field. Build a list of experts or journalists in, say, AI infrastructure. Use the filter posts about AI infrastructure to track who's talking about your space and when to reach out.
Use monitors from AI tools
Use manage_list_monitor_tool in the MCP server to read or save a monitor. Ready-made skills are in the Cookbook.
