The problem it solves

You add a new contact to your list but only have a name and maybe a company. Digging up their job title, direct email, phone number, and company details by hand eats up time you'd rather spend selling or serving customers.

Who it fits

A sales or business development team that keeps prospect and customer contacts in a shared spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. When a new contact row is added to your spreadsheet, the automation picks it up
  2. It groups new contacts into small batches to keep lookups reliable
  3. It searches for each person's LinkedIn profile using their name and company
  4. It pulls their job title, email, phone, and location, plus their company's website, phone, and email
  5. It writes all the enriched details back into the same spreadsheet row
What you get

Contact records filled in and ready

New contacts in your spreadsheet get filled in automatically with job titles, emails, phone numbers, and company details for your team.

What you get

A spreadsheet row for each contact fully filled in with personal and company contact details.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an API key from a contact-enrichment service.

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.
