Path Explorer Just Got Smarter: New Features to Uncover Deeper Connections
Path Explorer V3.2: Smarter Connection Mapping
New features based on your feedback to help you discover deeper connections
We've been listening to your feedback, and we're excited to announce Path Explorer V3.2 with powerful new enhancements that make it even easier to discover and navigate the connections between your prospects and your organization.
View Destination from Middle Hop
Previously, when viewing a middle hop in a connection path, you could see the connection from the starting point to the middle person—but not from the middle person to the end destination. That's changed!
What's New: Path Explorer now displays the middle connection as two interactive cards that you can click to change the view and see the connection to the middle person. This gives you the complete picture of multi-hop connection paths.
Multiple Destinations
We've changed the way multiple destinations are displayed. When two people are connected in multiple ways, you can now cycle through each connection point to get the full picture.
Example: In the image above, Antony is connected to Michael at 4 places! (2 company connections and 2 advisory board connections). You can now cycle between all 4 connections using the "1 of 4" indicator and arrow buttons. This is what we call a super strong connection!
Why This Matters: Multiple connection points indicate particularly strong relationships and provide valuable conversation starters for your cultivation strategies. The more touchpoints, the warmer the introduction!
Person OR Watchlist Connections to a Company/Board
This is a game-changer for prospect research! Want to know if your prospect has any connections to anyone at a specific company or on a particular board? Now you can find out in seconds.
How It Works
Step 1: Click on the arrow and switch from Person to Company or Board!
Step 2: Select your target company (like Tesla) or board from the list:
Step 3: This now gives you connections to anyone who works or has worked at that company!
Example: Company Search (Tesla Motors INC)
Let's say you want to know if Roberto has any connections to anyone at Tesla Inc. Using the company search, we discover that Roberto knows Jon because they both went to Northwestern University—and Jon was part of Tesla back in 2016/2017 as President of WW Sales/Service!
Discover all connections to anyone at Tesla Motors INC
Example: Board Search (OpenAI)
Using the same feature for board connections: Roberto knows John from Byline Bancorp, John went to NYU with David Shay, and David is/was part of the board of OpenAI! Multi-hop connections through board relationships can be incredibly valuable for strategic cultivation.
Find pathways to board members through shared connections
Coming Soon: Additional enhancements will include filtering to show only people currently active at the company, plus more refinement options to make your research even more precise!
Export to Excel
The Excel export option is now fully functional! Download your connection maps to share with your team or integrate into your donor management system.
