Refresh contact data before an agent writes to the CRM
When to use it: An agent is about to update a CRM contact from an email thread or a meeting note, and the stored title and employer are from a previous job.
Show the steps
Resolve the contact with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/ or POST /person_detail_lookup/
Compare the returned employer and title with the CRM record and flag a job change
Fetch the work email at the current employer with POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ when the employer changed
Write the record with the Forager person_id and the lookup date, so the next refresh is a cheap comparison

How to test it
Test person enrichment on your own sample
Pull a sample. Take profiles your users looked up last week.
Run it. Use a self-serve key, or book a demo and send us the list.
Measure what your users feel. Connect rate for mobiles, bounces for emails, and whether the right person answers.
Let a meeting-prep or calendar product brief its user on who they are about to meet or email: role, employer, career history and company context. 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 LLM apps?
⌄
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
Why do LLM apps add person enrichment?
⌄
Answer people questions with licensed data, not scraped pages. Products like yours are judged on whether the agent reached the right person, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what person enrichment returns for your users before you build on it.
How do I enrich calendar attendees with job title?
⌄
Resolve each new email address with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/. Pull full career history with POST /person_detail_lookup/.
What inputs does it take and what does it return?
⌄
You send email address, name + company and API key. You get back employer, person_id, work_email and company, from POST /person_detail_lookup/, as JSON.
Can our users see Forager data in 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. 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 LLM apps 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 do I refresh CRM contact before AI agent update?
⌄
Resolve the contact with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/ or POST /person_detail_lookup/. Compare the returned employer and title with the CRM record and flag a job change.
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 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.
Written answers are not available right now. The matching pages above still help, or book a demo and ask the team.
