The problem it solves

You add a new contact to your CRM with just a name and email, then have to research their company and role yourself. Records stay thin and inconsistent because nobody has time to fill in the gaps.

Who it fits

A sales or operations team managing contacts and accounts in Airtable.

How it works

  1. A new contact is added to Airtable
  2. The contact's email is used to look up verified company and job information
  3. The system checks whether the contact's company already exists as an account
  4. An existing account is updated, or a new account is created if it doesn't exist
What you get

Contacts enriched the moment they're added

What you get

What you need

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
