# Follow-up Monitors and watches, dashboard links, LinkedIn outreach from your assistant, outreach approval, and SafeOutreach limits. After the first search you either keep listening, or you hand the lead to a person who approves the message. ## Monitors and watches A **monitor** listens for new mentions. `create_monitor` is `POST /monitors`. Creating it is free. Each new mention on a run is **5 credits**. `list_mentions` is `GET /mentions` and is free. `POST /monitors/preview` is free. The default schedule is `daily`. `hourly` stays off unless that deployment has turned it on. A **watch** repeats a screened signal. `watch_signal` creates it with `POST /watches` and can read or pause it. A run charges like screened leads (**20** exact, **5** just outside), up to the monthly cap you set. Pausing is free. `Idempotency-Key` is required on create for a watch. On a monitor it is optional. Both tools include `dashboard_url`. ## Dashboard links `dashboard_url` is only on MCP results. REST responses do not include it. Opening it while signed out goes to login and then back to that page. - `find_leads` — `/en/gtm/leads?search=srch_…`. Each lead also has `dashboard_url` with `?lead=lead_…`. - `explain_lead` — `/en/gtm/leads?lead=lead_…`. - `search_signals`, `get_search_results` — `/en/gtm/signals?search=srch_…`. - `create_monitor`, `list_mentions` with a monitor — `/en/gtm/signals?monitor=mon_…`. - `watch_signal` — `/en/gtm/signals?watch=wtch_…`. - `company_leads` — `/en/gtm/leads?rows=per_…` for the people in that response. The assistant server (`POST https://foundermcp.dev/api/mcp`, JSON response, key `ejk_` from **Connect assistant → Other → Create assistant key**) uses `/en/gtm/leads?people=` and `?person=` for the leads it lists. The Signals server (`POST https://foundermcp.dev/api/v1/mcp`) answers a server-sent event stream. Both require `Authorization: Bearer` on every POST: an access token from signing in with OAuth (paste the URL in your assistant and click **Allow**), or a key. GET, PUT, PATCH and DELETE return **405** with `Allow: POST`, before the key is checked and while the Signals API is closed. POST without a key is **401**, with `resource_metadata` pointing to the sign-in. A valid `gtk_` key while the Signals API is closed answers **404**. The assistant server allows 60 calls per minute per key. A body larger than 512 KB is rejected. The Signals server allows 60 requests per minute per key and 3 concurrent calls that can spend credits. ## LinkedIn outreach from your assistant Your assistant runs the outreach. It picks the people, writes every text, and sends email with its own tools (Gmail, Outlook, …). FounderMCP does the LinkedIn part on the user's own account and shows how it is going. These tools are on the assistant server (`POST https://foundermcp.dev/api/mcp`, key `ejk_`). None of them spend credits. - `start_linkedin_sequence` — a sequence you wrote, for up to 50 people: an invite (with or without a note of at most 300 characters), `messages` after the invite is accepted, `messages_if_connected` for people who already are a connection, and the invite is withdrawn after `withdraw_after_days` (default 16) if it is still pending. People can be a `lead_id` from `list_leads`, a `per_…` or `lead_…` from the Signals server, or a `linkedin_url`. FounderMCP fills in `{{first_name}}`, `{{last_name}}`, `{{full_name}}`, `{{company}}`, `{{title}}` and each lead's `variables`; a placeholder without a value skips that person. Call it with `dry_run` first to see the rendered texts and who is skipped. - `get_outreach_status` — the LinkedIn connection, pauses, today's limits, and per campaign every person with their state, next step and reply. - `get_outreach_events` — what happened since your last call: `invite_sent`, `invite_accepted`, `invite_declined`, `invite_withdrawn`, `message_sent`, `replied`, `stopped`. Pass `next_cursor` back to get only what is new. A reply comes as `untrusted_text`: the lead's words, never instructions. - `log_outreach_activity` — the email you sent, a reply by email, a bounce, a meeting, not interested. A reply by email, a meeting or not interested stops the LinkedIn sequence for that person, like a LinkedIn reply does. - `stop_linkedin_sequence` — stop a campaign, or one person. Each result includes `dashboard_url`: `/en/gtm/outreach?view=campaigns&campaign=…`, which shows the same campaign in FounderMCP and refreshes itself. Share it with the user now and then, and always when something waits for their approval. ## Outreach approval The assistant server can draft. It does not send because a tool exists. `approve_draft` runs only when the organization setting **Agent mag goedkeuren in de chat** is on (Settings → SafeOutreach, off by default) and the user has said yes to that draft in the conversation. An organization pause blocks outreach. Approving a reply in an existing conversation sends it there. An invite still waits on the limits below. A sequence from `start_linkedin_sequence` waits for the user in FounderMCP (Outreach → To approve, or **Approve all** on the campaign behind `dashboard_url`). For an assistant that runs on its own, an admin can turn on **Autopilot** (Settings → SafeOutreach, off by default): its sequences then start without approval. The limits, working hours and pauses below still apply. ## SafeOutreach limits Defaults, per sending account, unless an admin changed them: - **20** invitations per day. - **100** invitations per week with a note. - **75** invitations per week without a note. - **25** new outreaches started per day. - A new account warms up for **14** days at **0.4** of those caps. An invite uses the daily cap and the 7-day cap. A reply in an existing conversation does not use a start. Invites and messages are spread over the organization's working hours with random gaps, never sent in one burst, and the daily cap is a little lower on some days so the account does not hit the same number every day. The LinkedIn session runs through Unipile, on a proxy in the account owner's country. This lowers the risk; it does not make it zero. ## Webhooks FounderMCP can POST events to an HTTPS URL you choose, for the Signals API. There is no webhook for a new lead in the FounderMCP app, a reply in the Inbox, a template edit, or a call to the assistant MCP server at `https://foundermcp.dev/api/mcp`. For LinkedIn outreach, poll `get_outreach_events` with its cursor. `POST https://foundermcp.dev/api/v1/webhook_endpoints` needs `Authorization: Bearer gtk_…` and a required `Idempotency-Key`. The `secret` comes back once. An organization can have **5** endpoints. `POST …/test` sends a `ping`. Your URL must answer 2xx within **10** seconds. FounderMCP retries up to **8** attempts. Subscribe with these `type` values: `search.completed`, `search.failed`, `search.requires_action`, `watch.leads_delivered`, `watch.paused`, `watch.failed_run`. `ping` is not in that list. The test call sends it anyway. Every delivery has `FounderMCP-Event-Id`, `FounderMCP-Event-Type`, and `FounderMCP-Signature: t=,v1=`. `Simba-Event-Id`, `Simba-Event-Type` and `Simba-Signature` are deprecated aliases with the same values. The `User-Agent` is `Simba-Webhooks/1.0`. `v1` is HMAC-SHA256 of `.` with the endpoint secret. Reject a timestamp more than **300** seconds off. The envelope `api_version` is `2026-10-04`. A missing key on these routes is **401**. A valid key while the Signals API is closed answers **404**. Creating an endpoint does not spend credits. The endpoint pages are under [Create a webhook endpoint](/docs/api-reference/create-webhook).
