Trigify adds Hacker News monitoring for funding and hiring signals

On April 21, 2026, Trigify launched Hacker News monitoring, positioning it around funding signals. The changelog describes keyword searches for funding language, workflows that use an AI agent to separate confirmed announcements from speculation, and routing to Slack, CRM or outreach tools. Jarvis can set up the search and workflow. The release also added monitoring for short-form Substack Notes and fixed how lookback windows handle sources that post infrequently. The entry notes the source is Y Combinator's forum.

The details

• Example keyword searches include "just raised," "Series A," "seed round" and "backed by."
• Workflows can use an AI agent to pass only confirmed funding announcements to the team.
• Jarvis can generate the search setup, Boolean query and workflow.
• Substack Notes monitoring was added alongside existing Substack post and profile monitoring.
• A lookback window fix targets sources with longer gaps between posts.

Context

Trigify added Substack monitoring on April 15, 2026 and its CLI on April 7, 2026. Subreddit monitoring followed on April 28, Daily.dev on May 5 and Bluesky on May 12. On June 18, 2026, Trigify added news monitoring to trigger workflows from company headlines, another route to funding and leadership signals.
