# Account Watchlist

> Watch named accounts and get pushed the moment they start hiring, instead of polling. Use when the user asks to monitor companies, wants an alert when a target account opens a role, an ABM trigger, or a daily diff of what changed.

# Account watchlist

Polling asks "anything new?" a hundred times and is wrong ninety-nine of them. A watch answers once, at the exact moment a named account starts hiring the function the user sells to. That moment is the whole value: first voice, not ninth.

## Ask for it like this

- "Tell me when Monzo starts hiring engineers"
- "Watch these 20 accounts for sales roles"
- "What changed in my patch since yesterday?"

## How it works

Push setup, two calls:

```
POST /v1/webhooks     register the delivery target once
POST /v1/watches      company_id or a criteria set, plus event_types
```

Header `X-API-Key` from `$REQBEAT_API_KEY`. One `POST /v1/quickstart` (webhook_url + domain) wires a working watch and webhook in a single call if the user prefers. Missed deliveries replay via `/v1/webhook-deliveries/replay`; signature verification is in the API reference.

Pull path, no webhook needed:

```
GET /v1/events              the event feed, filter by company_id or event_type
get_changes (MCP tool)      ledger diff with a since-cursor: only what changed
```

For a daily diff, store the cursor between runs and pull only the delta.

## Output format

For setup: confirm what is watched (companies or criteria), which events, and where deliveries go. For a diff pull: a short list of changes, each with company, event type, and date, newest first, followed by "nothing else changed since {cursor date}".

## Rules

1. Free tier holds 3 concurrent watches; deleting one returns the slot. Say so before creating a fourth.
2. Delivered changes on free tier cap at 50 per billing month, forward-only, no backfill. Quote this rather than letting the user discover it.
3. A watch that fires belongs in the funnel: offer `pre-call-brief` on the company, then `signal-first-outreach` for the first touch.
4. Never print the key, and never register a webhook target the user did not name.
