FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do lead databases use Forager work emails?

Populate ABM lists programmatically from a domain plus title and country filters. 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 lead databases?

Work emails: 5 credits per work email found, and a work email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. That is $0.07 per work email on Starter month to month and $0.05 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Why do lead databases add work emails?

Power your lead database without maintaining scrapers. 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 work emails returns for your users before you build on it.

How do I search contacts by company domain and job title?

Call POST /person_role_search/ with organization_domains, role_title boolean and person_locations. Check volume first with /person_role_search/totals/.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send persona titles, LinkedIn URL and account domain. You get back work_email, phone_number, role_title and person name, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/, 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 contacts 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 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 fleet managers contact list?

Query POST /person_role_search/ with role_title boolean ("fleet" OR "mobility" OR "car policy" OR "facility") and person_locations. Filter organizations by employees_start to companies with company-car fleets.

How do you check data quality?

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.
