Show the steps
  1. Agent translates the prompt into POST /person_role_search/ filters (role_title, organization_industries, person_locations)
  2. Use /person_role_search/totals/ to size the audience before paying for pages
  3. Enrich each result with /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ and /phone_numbers/
  4. Drop contacts without a verified channel and write the rest to the sequence
  5. Report found rate per channel to the platform's waterfall router

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do CRM add-ons use Forager people search?

Let an AI-native CRM arrive pre-filled: on sign-up it builds the customer's target accounts and contacts from their ICP so agents can start working the market immediately. Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What does people search cost for CRM add-ons?

People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 search requests 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

Why do CRM add-ons add people search?

Fill CRM records with contacts that connect. Products like yours are judged on connect rate and cost per valid result, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what people search returns for your users before you build on it.

How can a CRM pre-populate a new customer's target accounts and contacts?

Enrich new accounts with POST /organization_search/ and fetch work_email only for contacts the agent will work. Keep the TAM fresh on each feed delivery and alert on new accounts that match.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send persona titles, account list and ICP description. You get back work_email, role_title, phone_number and organization, from POST /person_role_search/, as JSON.

Can we show Forager data inside our product?

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager data to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

Am I charged when nothing is found?

Yes. People search 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.

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 to reach cisos cold calling?

Search CISOs and security leads with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title "CISO" OR "RSSI" OR "security" AND director). Get direct mobiles with POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/.

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 people search API different from searching profiles by hand?

Searching by hand works for a handful of accounts. A people search API filters by title, seniority, department and location across your target companies in one request, returns people your product can act on, and hands off to a contact lookup for the mobile or email.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

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