Release notes

What’s new in Generect

Every week we ship improvements to search, data, exports and the API. Here is what changed and what you can try today.

Company search API can include businesses without websites

Company searches in the API can now include companies that have a LinkedIn page but no website. Exclusion lists, email checks and MCP connections also take fewer steps to manage.

Find companies without websites through the API

Add include_companies_without_website to a database or realtime company search to include businesses that have a LinkedIn page but no website. This helps teams source hospitals, local businesses and other companies that may not run a website. The option is off by default.

  • Available for database and realtime company searches
  • Search results and counts follow the same choice
  • Exclusions and billing stay aligned with the returned companies

Other improvements

  • Reuse do-not-contact lists across API searches Create a large exclusion list once, update it by differences and apply it across lead, company and company-lead searches and counts.
  • Clear exclusion lists and delete saved items in bulk Clear an entire owned exclusion list in one request, keep selected exceptions or use Exclusions to select entries across pages and delete several lists and templates together.
  • MCP connections continue after sign-in or sign-up Start an MCP connection, authenticate or activate a new account and continue to the consent screen with the original request intact. See the MCP connection guide.
  • Email enrichment can resolve unknown company domains Realtime email enrichment can resolve a company that is not yet in Generect and continue when its LinkedIn page confirms the work-email domain.
  • Email results show how each address was verified Search results and Email Validation now distinguish verified mailboxes from catch-all addresses, name the check behind each status and follow the latest valid verdict.
  • Database searches default to 100 rows A database search without a row limit now returns a 100-row page while preserving the full count and offset pagination.

Plus 15 smaller fixes and polish across the API, billing and onboarding.

Live search progress and LinkedIn sign-in

Follow company and lead counts while your searches run and spot a finished result at a glance. You can now also sign in with LinkedIn.

Search History now shows live progress and finished results

Follow company and lead counts, see the estimated time left and spot a ready result from the sidebar, browser tab or Search History.

Other improvements

  • You can now sign in with LinkedIn Choose LinkedIn when you sign in or create an account on the Generect app.
  • Conference cards now show when each event starts See a local day countdown on every conference card, including Today, Tomorrow, Live now and Ended, so you know when to revisit a growing attendee list.
  • Shared search results now show every paid email Emails you paid to find now appear with the correct paid and exported markers on shared search results.
  • API errors now point to the right next step Rejected API keys explain the reason, while unsupported database filters list valid fields and point developers to the relevant error guidance.

Plus 15 smaller fixes and polish across search, billing and settings.

Email Finder finds the right domain. Searches keep companies together

Email Finder can now resolve a usable company domain before searching, even when the company is not stored yet. Search results also keep leads from the same company together, while refreshed profiles stay aligned with current employers.

Other improvements

  • Email Finder resolves a usable company domain The Email finder now validates the company domain and resolves one when the stored value is missing or cannot receive email.
  • Leads from one company stay together in search results Search results now group leads by the company shown on each profile, so everyone from the same company appears together without changing which leads you receive.
  • Refreshed profiles stay aligned with current employers Lead refreshes now reconcile past and current roles, and each selected job carries the resolved company's details for consistent filters and saved data.
  • Search-finished emails wait until results are viewed A search-finished email now waits 15 minutes and is held only after you open the finished results, so an open background tab does not hide the notice.
  • Search, sourcing and billing flows reopen where you left them Reopened searches preserve their filters, timed-out counts finish cleanly, excluded sourcing rows can be restored and Billing opens the selected top-up amount.

Fixes

  • A declined automatic top-up now turns itself off after the first attempt
  • Balance top-ups now charge the amount selected on the Billing page
  • First-time domain and email requests now complete normally
  • Data API company websites now keep every leading character

Plus 7 smaller fixes and polish across search, billing and the API.

Company names now resolve directly to domains

Turn a company name into a domain with one API request or resolve batches of up to 50. Lead enrichment, location filters and security notices also make everyday work faster and clearer.

Company names now resolve to domains

You can now resolve a company name directly to its domain through the API, one at a time or in batches of up to 50. Each successful result includes its source, confidence and available company details. Misses are free.

  • Resolve one company name or a batch of up to 50
  • See the source and confidence with each domain
  • Pay $0.005 only when a domain is found

Other improvements

  • You can enrich a lead by name and company Use a person's name with a company identifier to find and enrich that lead through the realtime lead endpoint.

  • US county filters now find leads in their cities County locations now match the cities inside each county across included, excluded and strict filters in realtime lead search.
  • Security notices now flag new browser sign-ins A successful sign-in from a browser or operating system your account has not seen before now sends one security email.
  • Narrow searches can suggest a filter to remove When a search finds fewer than 25 people, Generect can identify one filter that would produce a meaningfully larger result and suggest it without charging you.
  • System emails pause before your inbox is overloaded Frequency limits now hold excess messages across different jobs and searches, so useful updates arrive without a burst of repeated email.

Fixes

  • Selected lead exports now include every matching row shown in the table
  • Lead counts and pagination now respect the per-company limit
  • Data API requests return promptly during service interruptions
  • Company enrichment returns available data when post details are unavailable

Plus 15 smaller fixes and polish across search, billing and the API.

Pay only for confirmed emails and get more from the API

Email Finder now charges only when it confirms an address. The API also returns up to 1,000 likers for a post, filters database leads by gender and finishes searches with hundreds of job titles faster.

Illustration: Pay only for confirmed emails

Pay only for confirmed emails

Use Email Finder for a single lookup or the API and pay only when Generect confirms an address. Misses are saved without a charge, and accepted catch-all addresses remain billable.

Other improvements

  • Post enrichment can return up to 1,000 likers API clients can request from 1 to 1,000 likers for a LinkedIn post, with comments handled separately.
  • Company lookups identify the right page and owner Company responses now identify an acquiring owner when LinkedIn provides the relationship, and pasted subdomains prefer their specific company page.

  • Large job title searches finish faster Searches with hundreds of job title values now complete within the search limits while keeping the same matching behavior.
  • Email Finder cleans domains from pasted URLs Email Finder now extracts the company host from pasted URLs, including inputs with paths or URLs inside query strings.

Fixes

  • Reopened searches keep every saved lead filter

Plus 8 smaller fixes and polish across search, billing and the API.

You can now resize and reorder result columns, then keep that layout across searches and reloads. The API also returns more complete company-size results, and several fixes make credits and top-ups more reliable.

Your company-lead searches now check company size against every matching company, so valid leads stay in the result set. Supported previews and counts also return faster, and company-lead counts cover every match.

  • Post enrichment collects more likers and opens more link formats Post enrichment now follows the reported reaction total, removes duplicates and accepts activity, ugcPost, share and supported short links.
  • Large account transfers finish within the request Account transfers now use neutral email responses, clearer code controls and bulk moves for large sets of paid lead records.
  • Company locations stay consistent across cities, states and countries US and international company locations now align city, state and country data, while filters recognize alternate state spellings.
  • Suspended accounts get a clear status and support path Password, social and active-session sign-in now show a clear suspension message and a prefilled way to contact support.

Fixes

Plus 9 smaller fixes and polish across search, the API and settings.

Smarter search controls, reliable auto top-ups, and other improvements

Build precise lead lists with richer filters, dependable sorting and longer AI instructions. We also made automatic top-ups clearer and more predictable.

See what every filter will do

You can now shape a new search with suggestions and counts drawn from your current results. Company names, domains, nationality and website status show useful options, while range filters reveal the values already present.

  • Add suggested values with one click
  • See result counts beside supported options
  • Use visible ranges for company and experience filters
Illustration: Keep large searches under control

Keep large searches under control

Sort the result set you already have with stable pagination, and give the AI filter a longer brief with exclusions and company limits. Your search keeps its order as you move through pages.

  • Sorting works across the existing result set
  • Longer AI instructions keep their final criteria
  • Add exclusions and per-company limits

Auto top-ups add exactly what you set

Choose an amount on the Billing page, and each automatic top-up adds that amount when your balance is below the threshold. The balance is checked again before the charge, so the setting follows the latest account state.

  • The saved amount is added on every valid top-up
  • The latest balance is checked before charging
  • Settings copy and validation match the behavior

Other improvements

  • More supported filters work in database search Database search and count requests now accept more supported lead and company filters while continuing to reject options that could widen results.
  • Exclusion lists stay fast across results and counts Supported lead and company Exclusions now apply consistently to results, facets and counters, including broad searches.
  • Search History focuses on work from the app Search History now shows searches made in the app across history, owner selection and app counters, while saved API links continue to work.
  • Compound leadership titles match the role you requested A search for a C-level role now recognizes that role inside compound titles, such as Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, without widening unrelated matches.
  • Repeated ICP searches return a stable set of candidates The same company and persona request now combines the stable candidate set with targeted function matches, removes duplicates and fills the requested limit when matches are available.

Fixes

  • Company lead previews and counts now stay within the selected company and bill only matching rows

Plus one smaller fix across onboarding.

Smarter AI filters, exact company lists, and other improvements

Searches now follow detailed briefs more closely, pasted company lists stay precise, and result filters make the best next choice easier to see. We also made large searches faster and billing details clearer.

Refine results with choices that fit

Filter menus on a results page now show values found in your current results first, with counts. Blocklists also appear as a visible chip that you can remove, while excluded companies remain excluded as you continue working.

  • Available values and counts appear before the full catalogue
  • Applied blocklists stay visible in the filter bar
  • Removing a Blocklists chip detaches it from the search

Turn detailed briefs into precise filters

You can now describe regions, exclusions, custom job titles, keyword exclusions, and a per-company limit in the AI filter. Generect keeps those details as visible filter chips, so searches follow complex ICP briefs more closely.

  • Regions such as US East Coast expand into supported locations
  • Location, industry, job title, and keyword exclusions stay in the search
  • Custom job titles and limits such as two people per company are preserved

Get exactly the companies you pasted

Paste a list of company names or domains and get results from that list. Exact name and domain matching keeps unrelated companies out, so your result set stays focused and predictable.

  • Company names use normalized exact matching
  • Domains match their registered company domain
  • The Company domains filter now applies to every search

Other improvements

  • Comment enrichment returns the complete available thread Collected comments now include all available pages, attached replies, unique entries, and company-page authors when provided.
  • Integration exports keep the order you saw Rows reach your connected tools in their original order, keeping repeated exports and digests consistent.
  • Large result pages open in tens of milliseconds Typical pages with 10,000 results now load their result IDs in tens of milliseconds while retaining every row.
  • Broad searches keep moving through large filter matches Searches with very broad industry and location filters now return results and counts instead of staying on Applying filters.
  • Changing a filter type opens its value editor When you switch a filter to Job titles or another type, the value picker opens immediately so you can finish the filter.
  • The horizontal results scrollbar stays within reach Wide results tables now keep a visible horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of your screen, including pages with 1,000 rows.

Fixes

  • Failed and refunded requests now add zero usage to invoices
  • Free signup credit stays separate from paid balance and does not expire
  • The $5 welcome bonus now arrives after your first live search

Plus 2 smaller fixes and polish across onboarding and settings.
