Overview
The Find Email Address action allows you to determine someone's email address by providing their first name, last name, and the domain name of the company they work at. This is an incredibly useful tool for fueling marketing and sales Workflows, as getting accurate contact information is critical for initiating conversations that can lead to conversions and deals. While seemingly simple, this action forms the crucial first step in many sales and marketing funnels by enabling you to gather prospects' email addresses, which can then kickstart more complex multi-step Workflows involving targeted outreach, lead nurturing, and opportunity tracking.
Usage Examples
Find Email Addresses - The primary use case of this action to determine someone's work email address based on their first name, last name, and the domain name of the company they work for. This is particularly useful for obtaining contact information to initiate marketing and sales funnels.

Having all three of these inputs is critical for the action to successfully identify the right email address. Missing information like the domain or names could lead to incorrect results.
Advanced Inputs
This action does not have any advanced inputs.
Outputs
The primary output of this action is the email address of a person based on their first name, last name, and the domain name of the company they work for. The action takes these three inputs and calls a service in the background to determine the most likely email address format for that person at that company. The email address is then returned as the main output.
Troubleshooting
Red flashing step indicates missing inputs - If a step in the Workflow is highlighted in red and flashing, it means that the required inputs for that step have not been properly mapped from the previous step(s). This is a warning that the Workflow is incomplete and needs attention before it can run successfully.
"Some steps need your attention" warning - This warning at the top indicates that there are one or more steps in the Workflow that have missing or incorrect input mappings. The system is prompting you to review and fix the mappings before proceeding.
Mapping inputs using the # symbol - To map the inputs from a previous step to the current step's input fields, you use the # symbol which allows you to select from the available outputs of prior steps. This ensures that data flows correctly through the Workflow.

Enrich Contact - This action allows you to enrich contact information by providing minimal details such as first name, last name, and company domain. Optionally, you can also include an email address or LinkedIn URL to increase accuracy. This action utilizes various enrichment processes to find and return comprehensive information about the contact, including LinkedIn URL, personal and professional emails, location, country, company name, company LinkedIn ID, phone numbers, title, seniority, department, email provider, and more. As long as the person has an online presence, this action can resolve their identity and provide an enriched contact payload. It is particularly useful for enriching contacts in bulk, such as after a webinar or any other event where you have a CSV file with basic contact information.
