Personalization and buying signals: the right email, at the right moment

Buying signals tell you who's in-market. AI personalization turns that into an email, and now the subject line too.

Shipped Feb · Mar · May · Jul 2026 RepsMarketersRevOps

What it actually does

Buying signals come from your data provider. ZoomInfo now feeds 20 more of them into Outreach, including hiring spikes, executive changes, funding, acquisitions, intent spikes and G2 visits, plus which companies and people visited your website. LeadIQ joined the list of data providers for customers who already license it.

The Personalization Agent writes email copy from your instructions. It can now use those signals as a reason to reach out, pull in exact details from custom objects like a webinar registration or renewal date, and write the subject line from the same instruction as the body.

Who it's for

RevOps connects the data. Admins and content owners configure personalization. Reps and marketers send better emails.

Why it matters

Emails go to the right accounts at the right moment with a real reason to reach out, and you can prove whether AI copy performs.

How to set it up

  1. Connect your data provider

    Go to Administration › Integrations › Data enrichment › Connect Provider. ZoomInfo connects with an API key or by signing in.

  2. Choose your signals

    Go to Administration › Data Enrichment › Enrichment Settings, open the Signals tab, assign the signals you want and save. Then allow account or prospect enrichment on user profiles. It's off by default.

  3. Feed signals into personalization

    Include "Buyer Data Signals" in your personalization prompt setup.

  4. Turn on AI subject lines

    Open Personalization Agents in the left menu, open or create a personalization, switch on the subject-line toggle under the AI instruction, and save. Existing personalizations keep writing body copy only until you do.

  5. Compare AI and human copy

    Open Reports › Sequence performance and use the AI content usage filter.
