Enrich a single contact with email, phone, and/or personal email data using our waterfall enrichment system. Unlike the async enrichment endpoint, this endpoint returns results synchronously in the response - no webhook polling required.

​
Overview

This endpoint performs real-time waterfall enrichment across multiple data providers to find the most accurate email, phone number, and/or personal email for a contact. Results are returned immediately in the API response, making it ideal for interactive applications, Chrome extensions, and real-time workflows.

​
Rate Limits

  • 50 requests per second per user
This generous rate limit makes it suitable for high-volume interactive use cases while protecting our infrastructure.

​
Enrichment Types

You can specify which data points you want to enrich by passing the enrichment_type array parameter:
  • ["email"] - Find and validate professional email addresses only
  • ["phone"] - Find phone numbers only
  • ["personal_email"] - Find personal email addresses only (requires user consent — see below)
  • Any combination, e.g. ["email", "phone"], ["email", "personal_email"], or ["email", "phone", "personal_email"]
Requesting personal_email requires the authenticated user to have consented to personal email enrichment in their account settings. If consent is missing, the API responds with 422 Unprocessable Entity and the message "You can't use the personal email enrichment feature without consenting with our terms of use". This consent gate is required for GDPR compliance.Requests including phone or personal_email must include linkedin_url.

​
Waterfall Enrichment

When you request multiple enrichment types, our system uses a sophisticated waterfall approach:
  1. Attempts to find the professional email from the most reliable providers first
  2. Searches for personal email through dedicated personal-email providers (Pronto, LeadMagic, Airscale)
  3. Searches for phone numbers using provider prioritization
  4. Returns results as soon as all requested data points are found or all providers are exhausted
This approach maximizes data quality while minimizing enrichment time and cost.

Required Fields

At minimum, you must provide:
  • firstname - Contact’s first name
  • lastname - Contact’s last name
  • enrichment_type - Array containing any combination of "email", "phone", and/or "personal_email"
  • linkedin_url - Required when enrichment_type includes "phone" or "personal_email"
For best results, include as much information as possible:

The more context you provide, the higher the accuracy of the enrichment.

​

  "custom": {
    "crm_id": "12345",
    "campaign": "outbound_q1",
    "segment": "enterprise"
  }
}
These custom fields are passed through unchanged and returned in the custom field of the response, making it easy to correlate results with your internal systems.
