The problem it solves

Enriching a contact record with someone's real first and last name often means digging through their public profile by hand. That's a tedious step to repeat for every new lead or contact you want to add to your list. You want that basic detail pulled automatically so you can move on to the parts of the work that actually need you.

Who it fits

Marketers or sales reps enriching contact records with Facebook profile data.

How it works

  1. You start the automation with a Facebook profile ID
  2. The profile is looked up
  3. The person's first and last name are extracted
  4. You receive the clean name data ready to use
What you get

Clean contact names ready for your CRM

You get accurate first and last names pulled straight from Facebook profiles, ready to drop into your contact records right away.

What you get

The person's first and last name, ready to add to your records.

What you need

A Facebook Developer account with Graph API access.

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.
