[ACTION] Apollo.io - People Enrichment

[johndbritton]

Is there a specific app this action is for?

Apollo.io

Please provide a link to the relevant API docs for the specific service / operation.

The People Enrichment action doesn't have full support for all of the parameters listed here: https://docs.apollo.io/reference/people-enrichment

In particular, I would like to use the linkedin_url parameter.

Hi @johndbritton ,

To address your query about alternative documentation or a clearer explanation regarding the linkedin_url parameter in the Apollo.io People Enrichment API, here’s a more detailed look into the issue and some resources that may help clarify things further.

Overview of Apollo.io API

Apollo.io offers a comprehensive API that helps users enrich contact data, manage leads, and automate various aspects of sales workflows. The People Enrichment endpoint specifically allows you to retrieve detailed information about individuals based on parameters like name, email, or LinkedIn URL.

Key Parameters in People Enrichment

When interacting with the API, you can use the following key parameters to enrich your data:

• id: Unique identifier for the person in Apollo's database.
• first_name: First name of the person.
• last_name: Last name of the person.
• name: Full name of the person.
• linkedin_url: URL of the person's LinkedIn profile.
• title: Job title of the person.
• email_status: Email verification status.
• photo_url: URL for the person's photo.
• employment_history: Array with the person's previous employment roles.

Understanding linkedin_url

The linkedin_url parameter is intended to enhance contact enrichment by linking a person's LinkedIn profile to other data points. While the Apollo.io documentation may not fully explain all its potential uses or limitations, this parameter is typically included in API requests to retrieve enriched data.

I understand the parameter and the API. This issue is because the "People Enrichment" action in Pipedream doesn't allow specifying all of the parameters available in the API, like linkedin_url.
