# LinkedIn watches

> Watch LinkedIn posts, profiles, company pages, topics or events, and get a table that keeps adding the people it finds.

A LinkedIn watch keeps adding people to a new table as LinkedIn activity happens. You set how many it adds a day, and pay for each person added.

</Frame>

## Pick what to watch

Open [Find leads](https://app.getoneprofile.ai/find-leads) and pick one of the five watches.

* **Find people engaging with posts** adds the people reacting to or commenting on posts you paste.
* **Find people engaging with a person's posts** adds the people engaging with anything the profiles you paste publish.
* **Find people engaging with a company page** adds the people engaging with pages you paste, such as a competitor's.
* **Find people posting about a topic** adds the people writing about your keywords.
* **Find people attending a LinkedIn event** adds the people attending events you paste.

## Choose who is added

**Who to add** decides which people around a post count. **People** narrows by role, job title and place, and **Companies** by employer.

## Set a daily limit and start

On the enrich step, **People to add a day** caps how many people the watch adds each day. The start button shows the most a day can cost, such as "Start watching · up to 145 credits a day".

<Note>
  Nothing is charged until someone is added. The first people usually arrive within a day.
</Note>

## Follow the watch on its table

A banner on the table says what the watch is doing. The table's source panel holds a **Paused** switch, the daily and total limits, the spend so far, and **Stop**.

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How is a watch different from a LinkedIn signal search?">
    A LinkedIn signal on the Find leads page reads posts and comments already written, once. A watch keeps adding people as new activity happens, until you pause or stop it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What can I set in each filter group?">
    **Who to add** takes people who reacted, commented or wrote the post, or **Only people who both reacted and commented**. A topic watch adds the people who wrote the posts unless you choose otherwise. The other post watches add people who reacted or commented.

    **Minimum engagement** skips posts with fewer reactions and comments, 5 by default. **Post age** reads posts from the **Past week**, or the **Past 24 hours** on a topic watch. **Posts to read** caps how many posts the watch reads.

    An event watch reads no posts, so it has no **Who to add**.

    **People** takes **Roles** from a list grouped by department, plus **Job titles** and **Locations** to include or exclude. Each place is checked before the watch starts.

    **Companies** takes **Company size**, **Industries** and **Company types**. **Exclude companies** takes company pages whose people are never added, such as your own company and your customers.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is there no count or preview?">
    The people a watch adds have not acted yet, so there is nothing to count. The builder shows the columns the table gets and the price in credits a person added.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does a watch cost?">
    Each person added costs the price the builder shows. A topic or event watch costs more a person than a watch on posts, profiles or company pages.

    Enrichment columns charge for each new person they fill in. Starting a watch needs enough credits for one day of what it can spend.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many people can a watch add a day?">
    **People to add a day** is 25 by default and goes up to 1,000. People found past the day's limit wait, and are added the next day within that day's limit.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the total limit?">
    It is an optional cap in credits on everything the watch spends. Left alone, it is 30 days of the daily maximum. The watch pauses when it gets there, and you raise the limit to resume.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do enrichment columns run on the new people?">
    Yes. The enrichment you tick on the enrich step runs on each new person as they are added, unless you turn that switch off. With it off, run the column yourself when you want it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does the banner on a watch's table mean?">
    It names the watch's state and, where it needs you, the fix.

    * It says so while the watch starts, and while it waits for its first people.
    * When the watch could not start, click **Edit inputs** and change the filter it names.
    * When it found people but a filter turned them all away, **Edit inputs** opens that filter.
    * Paused for credits, it resumes by itself once you **Buy credits**.
    * Paused because the table is full or the total limit is spent, it waits until you make room or raise the limit, then resume it.
    * Paused on our side, it resumes by itself, and nothing is charged meanwhile.
    * Stopped, it offers **Start again**, which restarts it on the same table.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when I pause or stop a watch?">
    Pausing is free and stops further spend. Turn the **Paused** switch off to resume.

    Stopping adds no one else, and the table keeps its rows. **Start again** restarts the watch on the same table and never charges twice for people already in it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can a watch add the same person twice?">
    No. One watch never adds or charges the same person twice, even after you start it again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I add a watch to a table I already have?">
    No. A watch always starts on a new table. It cannot be saved as a search, run again or scheduled, so pause or resume it instead.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why should an event watch name one event?">
    A row does not say which event its person is attending. Start one watch per event to tell the attendees apart.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many watches can run at once?">
    Ten per workspace. Pause or stop one to start another.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can the AI Assistant run a watch?">
    Yes. The AI Assistant and MCP clients can start, pause, resume, stop and change a watch. Starting one, resuming it or raising what it may spend asks for your approval, with the daily maximum on the card.
