Hunter Changelog

We’ve just rolled out an update to the Domain Search and Discover functionalities that makes finding the right contacts easier, faster, and more cost-effective.

What's new?

• Decision-Maker filter: Quickly spot decision makers with a new tab that highlights them using a crown icon. No more endless scrolling — just straight to the right people.

• Job Title filter: A long-requested addition! You can now filter Domain Search results by job title to identify people in on the exact roles you care about.

• Department-Based grouping: Emails found are now neatly organized by department, helping you target the right contacts effortlessly.

• Smarter sorting: Leads with verified emails appear first, sorted by relevance and department so you can prioritize the best options.
• Controlled email reveal: Before, you had to spend credits to find emails without really knowing if they were the right fit. Now, you can browse through the list, pick the contacts you want, and only use credits when you actually reveal an email.

Why this matters to you:

• Work faster: Find decision makers instantly and skip the guesswork.
• Save credits: Only reveal emails when you know they’re the right contacts.
• Target smarter: Get better leads with precise job title and department filters.

How to use the new filters

Simply start your search in either Discover or Domain Search:

• In Discover: Enter your target company, filter decision makers by department, review profiles, and selectively reveal emails.
• In Domain Search: Input a specific domain, filter by job title to refine results, confirm your ideal leads, and reveal emails efficiently.

Here’s a roundup of all the improvements and fixes we shipped recently to make your Hunter experience smoother, smarter, and more reliable.

📊 Smarter Campaign Audience Management

We’ve overhauled the Campaigns Audience tab with a brand-new data table—bringing the same power and flexibility you’re used to on the Leads page. You can now sort, filter, and bulk manage contacts with ease.

Fix details:

• Resolved offset issues caused by empty columns.
• Accurate column mapping even with irregular formats.
• Smoother, more reliable bulk imports.

Improvements:

• More granular and accurate progress tracking.
• Smoother visual feedback throughout the import.
• Better user experience from start to finish.

• Ensures the right account is used per recipient.
• More consistent message delivery and tracking.

Fix details:

• Signature now correctly saved during mailbox creation.
• No need to re-edit after setup.
• Setup flow is now more reliable and intuitive.

We’ve added a new feature to make managing your companies and people in Leads simpler.

Now, you can add up to three customizable attribute blocks that give you a clear visual snapshot of your data.

Whether you’re tracking verification status or sending progress, these blocks help you stay organized and make smarter decisions. This is all available to everyone, including free plan users.

The data visualization provides a clear overview of your leads and company segmentation, including key statuses such as verification, sending status, and more.

By clicking on a specific segment, your leads are instantly filtered by that attribute, allowing you to seamlessly switch between different views.

Why this is helpful:

• Quick filters: Easily sort companies or leads based on specific attributes.
