Explorium Intent Signals

Goal

Find companies actively researching topics relevant to your product category using Bombora's intent data, surfaced via Explorium. These are in-market accounts — the highest-priority targets for outbound because they are already in a buying motion.

Credit Cost

Each intent search costs 2 platform credits regardless of result count. Always confirm with the user before executing.

Required Capabilities

• Explorium API: Intent search endpoint via explorium-search edge function (action: 'intent_search')
• Ops Tables: Writes results to a new Ops table

Inputs

• intent_topics (required): Bombora intent topic names — e.g. ['CRM Software', 'Sales Automation'] Common topics: CRM Software, Sales Automation, Marketing Automation, Cloud Migration, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, ERP Software, HR Software, Customer Success, Revenue Operations, Account-Based Marketing, Sales Enablement, Digital Transformation, DevOps, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, SaaS Procurement, Data Warehouse
• industries: Narrow by industry vertical — e.g. ['SaaS', 'Financial Services']
• employee_ranges: Filter by company size — e.g. [{ min: 100, max: 1000 }]
• countries: Geographic filter — e.g. ['United States', 'Canada']
• per_page: Results per page (default 25, max 100)

Execution

1. Confirm intent topics: if the user's topic is ambiguous, suggest the closest Bombora category
2. Warn the user: "This search will cost 2 platform credits. Proceed?"
3. On confirmation, call explorium-search with action: 'intent_search' and provided filters
4. Present results: companies found, intent topics matched, Ops table created
5. Offer to chain into explorium-people-search to find contacts at in-market accounts

Output Contract

Results are written to an Ops table with columns:

• Company Name, Domain, Industry, Employee Count, Country, Intent Topics, Intent Score, LinkedIn, Website

Highlight the top intent scorers — these are the warmest accounts.

When to Use vs. explorium-company-search

• Use explorium-intent-signals when timing is the primary filter — you want companies in an active buying cycle now
• Use explorium-company-search when firmographic fit matters most — target the right-profile companies regardless of timing
• Combine both: run explorium-company-search for ICP fit, then explorium-enrich with enrich_type: intent to layer in Bombora scores

Chaining

• Chain into explorium-people-search with the resulting table_id to find contacts at in-market accounts
• Chain into explorium-enrich to add firmographic or contact detail data to matched companies
• The seq-explorium-icp-discovery sequence handles the full company → contacts → enrich flow
