What This Skill Does

The Apollo AI skill provides powerful contact and company enrichment capabilities by integrating directly with the Apollo.io API. It enables users to perform deep-dive research on prospects, obtain validated email addresses and phone numbers, and gather critical business intelligence such as revenue, funding stages, and employee counts. Whether you are conducting outbound sales, performing lead research, or validating contact data, this skill streamlines the process into simple natural language requests. The skill leverages the apollo.py script to handle API authentication, rate-limiting, and data parsing, ensuring that complex API responses are transformed into actionable information for your workflow.

Installation

To integrate the Apollo skill into your agent, follow these steps:

1. Obtain your API Key from the Apollo.io integration settings page.
2. Configure the environment variable by running export APOLLO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here in your terminal environment.
3. Execute the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/andrewdmwalker/apollo-enrichment.
4. Verify the setup by checking your API balance at the Apollo settings page, as each enrichment request consumes platform credits.

Use Cases

• Lead Enrichment: Automatically verify contact details for email lists before running outreach campaigns.
• Market Research: Gather data on company sizes and funding stages to prioritize accounts in your CRM.
• Sales Prospecting: Search for specific personas, such as CTOs or VP-level stakeholders, within defined geographic regions or companies.
• Data Cleaning: Normalize contact databases by filling in missing professional information using name and domain identifiers.

Example Prompts

• "Can you enrich the profile for [email protected] and find his phone number?"
• "Give me the current industry, employee count, and total funding for stripe.com."
• "Find me all the CTOs currently working at fintech companies in New York City."

Tips & Limitations

• Credit Usage: Remember that Apollo.io charges credits for each enrichment. Always monitor your usage at apollo.io/settings/credits to avoid service interruptions.
• Rate Limits: When performing bulk enrichments, ensure your input JSON is formatted correctly as an array of objects to avoid processing errors.
• Privacy: Always handle personal contact information retrieved via this skill according to GDPR, CCPA, and your organization's internal data privacy policies.
