## Find Personal Email by LinkedIn URL (BetterEnrich)

Finds a personal email address (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) from a LinkedIn profile URL. This is an async action. it submits and polls for the result.

**Integration:** BetterEnrich\
**Credit cost:** 2 credits per row\
**Category:** Enrichment

### Inputs

| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| LinkedIn Profile URL | Yes | Full LinkedIn profile URL |

### Outputs

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Email | Personal email address |
| Status | Result status (found, not_found, error) |
| Verifier | Which verifier confirmed the email |

### Use cases

**Agencies:** Reach prospects who don't check their work inboxes. especially founders and early-stage startup employees who read personal email first.

**Founder-led teams:** Personal emails allow direct outreach that bypasses corporate spam filters. A message to a Gmail address from a founder often performs better than a cold work email.

**RevOps:** Add personal email as a secondary contact field in your CRM. Use it as a fallback channel when work email bounces.

**GTM engineers:** Stack personal email alongside work email enrichment. Build a priority logic: try work email first, fall back to personal email if work returns empty.

## Troubleshooting

**Personal email returns empty for most rows**

* This is expected. hit rates for personal email are naturally lower than work email. Run both work and personal enrichment and use whichever returns a result.

* Not everyone has their personal email tied to their LinkedIn account. Rates above 40% are considered good.

**BetterEnrich times out**

* BetterEnrich is async and may take up to 5–10 minutes per row in some cases. Check the row status in your table. If it shows "processing," it is still running.

**Emails appear to be invalid**

* Personal email addresses do expire. people change their Gmail over time. Always validate personal emails through an email verification action before adding them to a live campaign.
