FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do sales-tech companies use Forager person enrichment?

Give a phone-intent or scoring layer a supply of mobiles it can rank, so reps dial the numbers most likely to be answered first. A full professional profile for a person from a LinkedIn URL, email or phone: experience, education, skills and contact channels. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What does person enrichment cost for sales-tech companies?

Person enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 person enrichments use 1,000 credits: about $13 of Starter credits month to month, or about $10 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Which sales-tech workflows use person enrichment?

Score mobile numbers by connect likelihood before dialing, power an AI SDR's email and phone waterfall from a chat prompt and detect CRM contacts who changed jobs and alert on moved champions. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How to rank phone numbers before cold calling?

Retrieve candidate numbers per contact from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ (Gold and Silver). Order the dial list by score and suppress low-score numbers.

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send LinkedIn identifiers, account list and call list. You get back phone_number, role_title, work_email and organization, from POST /person_detail_lookup/, as JSON.

Am I charged when nothing is found?

Yes. Person enrichment is charged per request, whether or not data comes back. Only mobile and email lookups are free when nothing is found, so try your inputs on a small run before you scale.

Can sales-tech companies test person enrichment for free?

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 AI SDR tools find verified emails?

Enrich each result with /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ and /phone_numbers/. Drop contacts without a verified channel and write the rest to the sequence.

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 person enrichment different from scraping profiles myself?

Scraping means running and repairing your own collection pipeline and deciding what to do when a page changes. Person enrichment returns a structured profile (experience, education, skills and contact channels) from one API call, from data Forager licenses and maintains.

Where can I use Forager person enrichment?

Native in Clay, 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.

Do I need a subscription?

Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using person enrichment, 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.
