FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do sales-tech companies use Forager work emails?

Which sales-tech workflows use work emails?

Power an AI SDR's email and phone waterfall from a chat prompt, offer mobile and email enrichment as native actions in a GTM workflow builder and enrich lead list exports with email and mobile in one click. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

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.

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send persona titles, account list and company domain. You get back work_email, role_title, phone_number and person location, 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.

Can sales-tech companies test work emails 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 do I add mobile number provider to GTM workflow builder?

Expose person_detail_lookup, work_emails, personal_emails, phone_numbers and organization_search as native actions with field mapping. Let users chain the actions as waterfall steps after or before other providers.

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.

Where can I use Forager work emails?

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.

Do I need a subscription?

Not to test: 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.
