Roadmap
Upcoming enhancements to the Autobound Signal Database, including new data sources, schema improvements, and platform capabilities.
This roadmap outlines planned enhancements to the Signal Database. Timelines are estimates and subject to change based on customer feedback.
In Progress
May '26 - Full Coverage Windows + Date Range Folders (est. May 12)
Delivery batches will cover their full date range with no gaps, and folder names will reflect the actual data period inside. Expect 8-15% more signals per batch due to eliminated tail-end gaps. See changelog →
May '26 - LinkedIn Comments Timestamps (est. May 12)
⚠️ Breaking — new timestamp fields added, previously-null field now populated.
Populating parent_post.posted_date on LinkedIn Comments signals — this field exists in the schema but was never filled. Also adding a new comment_posted_at field for when the comment itself was posted. Currently detected_at is the only populated time reference (when Autobound ingested the signal, typically 1-3 weeks after the comment was posted). View schema →
New & Updated Fields
| Field | Type | Change | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
data.comment_posted_at | string (ISO 8601) | New | When the comment was actually posted on LinkedIn |
data.parent_post.posted_date | string (ISO 8601) | Now populated | When the parent post was published (field existed but was always null) |
