What do I need to run this recipe, and what comes back?

You send badge scan / business card fields and event name. You get back event tag, organization, phone_number and role_title, as JSON. You also need a Forager API key, which comes with a free account.

What's the fastest way to follow up event leads?

Complete badge scans and business-card captures with role, company, email and mobile so follow-up happens the same day. Same-day follow-up, dormant event leads become workable pipeline and event ROI is measurable.

Can I 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.

When should I run this workflow?

When a rep scans a badge or card at a trade show, or an event lead list ages without follow-up. Same-day follow-up, dormant event leads become workable pipeline and event ROI is measurable.

Which Forager products does this recipe use?

Person enrichment, work emails, mobile numbers and reverse email lookup. Person enrichment: a full professional profile for a person from a LinkedIn URL, email or phone: experience, education, skills and contact channels. Work emails: verified work email addresses for a person at their current employer.

How accurate is Forager data?

Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. 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 do I enrich trade show badge scans?

Capture name, company and email from the scan or card. Resolve with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/ or POST /person_role_search/ (person_name, organization_domains).

Which tools can run this workflow?

Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Or call the endpoints in the steps above from your own code with one API key.

How many steps is this workflow?

5 steps: capture name, company and email from the scan or card, resolve with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/ or POST /person_role_search/ (person_name, organization_domains), fill work_email and mobile via contact endpoints, sync to CRM tagged with the event and trigger same-day follow-up and periodically bulk-refresh older event lists for job changes.

Do I need a subscription?

Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using Forager, 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.
