Building a waterfall with Apollo

Apollo works well as a fallback provider in combination with other email or phone finders. Example sequence for email finding:

1. BetterEnrich: Find Work Email by LinkedIn URL (primary, highest accuracy)
2. Apollo: Find Email using Linkedin Url (fallback if BetterEnrich returns empty)
3. Findymail: Find Email Using LinkedIn URL (second fallback)

Each column only runs when the previous one returned no result.

Troubleshooting

Actions return "person not found" for most rows. Apollo's database has strong coverage for North American and European companies. Coverage for other regions is lower. Verify your test data includes profiles that are likely in Apollo's database.

Email results come back but the email is invalid. Apollo returns emails with a verification status. Filter your results to only use rows where the verification status is verified. Use a Formula Column with IF({{Verification Status}} == "verified", {{Email}}, "") to blank out unverified results.

The API key saves correctly but requests return 401. Apollo API keys from free plans may not have programmatic access enabled. Check your Apollo plan or generate a new API key from your Apollo settings.

Enrich Company returns empty for some domains. Apollo may not have data for small or very new companies. As a fallback, use Enrich Company (Hunter.io) or the Website Intelligence utility action.
