Which B2B SaaS workflows use work emails?

Source a role-tagged buying committee for every target account, convert personal-email sign-ups into work identities and qualify PLG sign-ups and route enterprise accounts to sales. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How do I find buying committee contacts at target account?

Call POST /person_role_search/ with organization_domains and role_title groups per committee role. Tag each result with a committee role from role_title and seniority.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send account domain, committee role definitions and CRM export. You get back work_email, phone_number, person name and role_title, 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 convert gmail signups to work email?

Send the personal email to POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/. Get the work email from /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/.

How do I know the data is right?

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.
