Questions about this recipe
How can my copilot find out who is behind a sign-up email?
Call POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/ with the sign-up email. Skip personal-domain emails and consumer sign-ups before the lookup, so you pay only for business identities.

What do I need to run this recipe, and what comes back?
You send email address and email domain. You get back company, full name, headcount and industry, as JSON. You also need a Forager API key, which comes with a free account.
Which API returns a person and company from an email address?
This recipe uses Forager Reverse email lookup and Company enrichment. Reverse email lookup: Turn an email address into a full person profile: name, title, company, location and social links. Let an in-product copilot turn a new sign-up or inbound email into the person and company behind it, so it can route, qualify or personalise its first reply.
Can I test reverse email lookup 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 new sign-up arrives with only a work email, and the copilot has to decide whether to reply, route it to sales or ignore it. The copilot knows who signed up before it answers, and the platform pays per identity found rather than per sign-up.
Which Forager products does this recipe use?
Reverse email lookup and company enrichment. Reverse email lookup: turn an email address into a full person profile: name, title, company, location and social links. Company enrichment: firmographics for a company from its domain or name: industry, headcount, locations, growth and open roles.
How do I know the data is right?
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.
