Build verified ICP lists for done-for-you cold email campaigns

When to use it: A cold-email agency signs a new client or opens a new campaign angle and needs a fresh list for that ICP.

Show the steps
  1. Translate the client ICP into company filters with POST /organization_search/ (industry, employees, location)
  2. Find the persona at each account with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title, seniority, organization_domains)
  3. Fetch verified addresses with POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/ and drop rows with no deliverable email
  4. Deduplicate against the client's CRM export and previous campaigns, then hand off to the sending tool
  5. Use the web_app for one-off list pulls by account managers who do not touch the API

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do outbound agencies use Forager work emails?

Map every relevant function at large enterprises so agency campaigns reach several stakeholders per account, including high-volume hiring employers for HR-tech clients. 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 outbound agencies?

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 outbound agencies add work emails?

Book client meetings without burning dead numbers. Products like yours are judged on contacts that connect for every client, 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 find hr leaders at high volume hiring companies?

Enrich target accounts with POST /organization_search/ (employees, industry). For HR-tech clients, rank employers by hiring volume from POST /job_search/.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send client ICP, company filters and beats or topics. You get back work_email, phone_number, decision maker and brand list, 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.

Where do cold email agencies get their data?

Turn each new client's ICP into a verified, deduplicated contact list that is ready for cold email within days, without buying a separate data seat per client. Agency clients get booked meetings from campaigns that start on clean, on-ICP lists.

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.

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.
