FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do IT services and consulting firms use Forager work emails?

Give an export or internationalization consultancy a qualified list of distributors, importers and resellers in a target country, with the buyer or owner at each one. Verified work email addresses for a person at their current employer. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What do work emails cost for IT services and consulting firms?

Which IT services and consulting workflows use work emails?

Build foreign distributor and importer lists for export development, find ERP owners and finance heads for ERP implementation and admin services and target CTOs and IT leaders at PE-backed and mid-market companies for IT services. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How do I find distributors in a foreign country?

Search distributors and importers by industry, keywords and country with POST /organization_search/. Find the owner, managing director or purchasing head with POST /person_role_search/.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send account criteria, company filters and company size. You get back work_email, decision maker, technology leader and companies ranked by team size on the skill, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/, as JSON.

Am I charged when no work email is found?

No. A work email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for work emails we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.

Is there a free way to try Forager?

Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.

How do I find companies using NetSuite?

Find companies hiring for ERP skills with POST /job_search/ (description terms such as "NetSuite" OR "SAP" OR "Dynamics 365"). Find CFOs, operations heads and system admins with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title, skills keywords).

How accurate is Forager data?

The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

How is a work email finder different from guessing the email pattern?

A pattern guess (first.last@company.com) gives you an address that may not exist or may belong to someone who left. A work email lookup returns the address for that person at their current employer, and with Forager a work email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using work emails, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.
