What This Skill Does

The Apollo skill provides a direct interface for the OpenClaw AI agent to interact with the Apollo.io REST API. It enables sophisticated sales intelligence gathering by allowing the agent to perform granular searches for people and organizations, enrich existing data sets, and retrieve bulk organizational intelligence. By abstracting the complexities of Apollo's API endpoints and authentication headers, this skill empowers the agent to act as an automated SDR (Sales Development Representative) or data researcher.

Installation

To integrate this skill, navigate to your OpenClaw command-line interface and execute the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jhumanj/apollo. After installation, you must configure your API credentials by creating a config/apollo.env file. Populate this file with your APOLLO_BASE_URL and your APOLLO_API_KEY. The scripts provided in the package will automatically source these environment variables to authorize your requests.

Use Cases

• Lead Generation: Automate the discovery of prospects based on specific job titles, industries, or keywords.
• Data Enrichment: Automatically update CRM entries or internal records with verified email addresses and organizational details using domain-based enrichment.
• Market Research: Perform bulk lookups on identified organizations to analyze firmographic data, employee counts, or technology stacks.
• Prospecting Workflows: Chain together searches and enrichment tasks to build targeted outreach lists without manual data entry.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for 5 VPs of Marketing in the software industry and enrich their profiles with contact information."
2. "Look up organization details for 'openai.com' and summarize their primary business focus and headcount."
3. "Fetch a list of potential leads for our new developer tool, filtering for CTOs in the fintech space, and save the results to my workspace."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: Apollo imposes strict rate limits (often 600 requests per hour). If the agent returns a 429 status code, wait for the reset window before initiating further requests.
• Subscription Requirements: Certain endpoints require a paid Apollo subscription. If you receive a 403 error, your current API key may lack the permissions required for that specific resource.
• Precision: When performing searches, use specific keywords to minimize irrelevant results. Always verify enriched data against your internal compliance standards.
