How does The Sauce page work?
The Sauce is DealArena's signal layer: the feed that tells you something
happened in your prospect's world before you dial. The page is parked while we
finish it, so /the-sauce answers with a short notice instead of the feed. The
code is in the product, and it ships one piece at a time.
The launch order. Five drops, in this order. Each one lands on the changelog the Tuesday it ships.
- Live signals feed. SEC EDGAR filings and news on the companies in your book, on one screen.
- Market tape and Daily Sauce. The news wire, Hacker News, and prediction markets, plus buyer-intent alerts on venture and M&A.
- Sauce Alerts. Custom signal rules. Pick the engine, the source, the gate, and the cadence.
- Hot Sauce. An AI-ranked lead list built from the signals on your book.
- The Crawler. A contact scraper that verifies every email and phone against the page text. It never scrapes LinkedIn; it surfaces the LinkedIn links it finds on a page and hands you a click-to-open search link, so you do the last step yourself.
The order can shift, and the product page carries the current one.
Two pieces are out today.
- The Crawler sits below the prospects on the Database page, on Pro and Enterprise. Four modes: scrape a page, find a company's team page, webcrawl a site, or deep research a company into a sectioned brief. Tick the contacts you want and add them to your pipeline. The scrape modes run on Firecrawl. Deep research runs on The Hog, the same research job the Forge's /research command uses, at the same price; the panel quotes the usage cost before you run it, and the brief carries a "Find their people" button that scans the same company for contacts.
- The Wire runs at the foot of the dashboard on every tier: financial news and Hacker News in one list, with a "Names your book" filter that keeps only the headlines naming a company in your accounts.
What already runs underneath. The signals worker watches every prospect you
add. It polls SEC EDGAR and the news wire on a cadence and writes what it
finds to that prospect's record, so the "Recent signals" card on a prospect
profile fills in on its own, the Customer Success agent reacts to a fresh
signal, and the Chrome extension shows signals on a person or their company.
The API exposes the same data on /api/v1/sauce with the signals:read
scope, and the MCP server's get_sauce_signals tool reads it.
Research moved. Deep Research and Account Finder used to live on this
page. They run in the Forge now: open the Forge from the top bar and use the
/research command.
Ask it on the help page and the assistant answers from the whole corpus. If it cannot, team@dealarena.io can, and the answer usually becomes a doc.
