Apollo Io

What This Skill Does

The Apollo.io skill for OpenClaw is a powerful sales intelligence engine designed to bridge the gap between your AI agent and the world's most extensive B2B database. By integrating directly with Apollo.io's REST API, this skill allows your agent to perform deep research on over 210 million contacts and 35 million companies. It handles complex data retrieval tasks—such as finding qualified leads based on specific job titles, geographic locations, or company size—and provides instant enrichment to ensure you have the most up-to-date contact information, including verified emails and LinkedIn profiles.

Installation

To enable this skill, first ensure you have your Apollo.io API key from your account dashboard. Next, export the key in your environment settings using export APOLLO_API_KEY=your_key_here. Once your environment is configured, use the OpenClaw command line to integrate the module: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kesslerio/apollo-io. This command will pull the necessary scripts and verify your setup, making the tool immediately available to your AI agent.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for sales development, recruitment, and competitive market analysis. Use it to build highly targeted outbound prospect lists without manually jumping between browser tabs. It is equally effective for account-based marketing, where you need to identify decision-makers within specific target accounts. By automating the data enrichment process, this skill removes the manual labor of verifying contact details, allowing your agent to focus on higher-level tasks like lead qualification and personalized outreach strategy.

Example Prompts

1. "Find me the VP of Engineering at Stripe who is based in San Francisco and provide their verified contact details."
2. "Research the company 'Acme Corp' and give me a summary of their industry, size, and top executive contacts."
3. "Who are the key decision-makers in the marketing department at tech companies in the 50-200 employee range?"

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the effectiveness of this skill, be as specific as possible with your filters, such as industry segments and company headcount. Keep in mind that Apollo.io API usage is subject to your specific plan's credit limits; frequent enrichment of large lists may consume your quota rapidly. Always ensure your usage complies with relevant data privacy regulations like GDPR or CCPA when handling prospect information. If a search returns no results, try broadening your industry definitions or removing specific location constraints.
