Press release scraper & sales trigger tool — classify company announcements (funding, M&A, contract wins, executive hires, launches) into B2B buying signals.
A press release is self-reported buying intent. Companies announce exactly the moments when they spend: funding rounds, acquisitions, contract wins, executive hires, partnerships, market expansions, product launches. This Actor reads public PR Newswire feeds, classifies every release into an event type, extracts the company name and emits scored, outreach-ready signals.
The classifier (the killer feature)
Every release is typed — so you can subscribe to exactly the trigger you sell against:
event_type | Why it's a buying signal |
|---|---|
funding 💰 | New money = new spend |
acquisition 🤝 | Integration projects, consultant & tooling budgets |
contract_award 🏆 | Winner must staff & equip to deliver |
executive_hire 👔 | New VP/C-level rebuilds the stack in their first 100 days |
partnership 🔗 | Joint go-to-market = marketing & ops spend |
expansion 📈 | New offices/markets = everything from real estate to payroll |
product_launch 🚀 | Marketing, support and infrastructure ramp-up |
milestone 🎯 | Momentum context |
Noise (market commentaries, photo advisories, event announcements) is dropped — only classifiable business events come through.
What you get

Typical setups
- Sales triggers:
eventTypes: ["executive_hire","funding"]+ your industrykeywords, watch mode hourly → pipealert_textto Slack. New CRO announced at 9am, your email at 10am. - Agencies:
eventTypes: ["product_launch","expansion"]→ companies in ramp-up mode. - M&A watchers:
eventTypes: ["acquisition"]→ integration-stage targets.
Honest limitations
- v1 reads PR Newswire only (Business Wire / GlobeNewswire are gated for automated access — on the roadmap if reliably reachable).
- Company extraction is headline-based (~85% precision on business feeds); records always keep the full title so nothing is lost.
- Classification is keyword-driven and transparent — no LLM black box, no API keys.
