Enrich Contacts Directly from Your Contact Book

Written by Celeste Chung · Business Development Manager
💡 Quick Answer

Go to Contacts, open a contact, then click Edit Contact, and click Enrich Contact at the top right of the panel. Review the suggestions, tick the fields you want, click Apply selected, then click Save Edits to save the contact.

You do not need to leave your contact book to fill in a missing job title or social profile. Open any contact, run Enrich Contact, and review the suggestions field by field before deciding which ones to keep.

Steps to Enrich a Contact from Your Contact Book

  1. Open Contacts: In your dashboard, go to Contacts and select the contact you want to enrich. 
  2. Click Enrich Contact: Click 'Edit' pen icon, then select Enrich Contact at the top right of the contact panel.
  3. Wait for the results: The Enrich Contact Details window shows progress while it searches. When it finishes, it reports how many enriched results were found for review.
  4. Review each suggestion: Every result is listed as its own field, such as Job title or Social profiles, with the value that was found. 
    • Has existing value means the contact already has something in that field. Applying the suggestion replaces it.
    • Same value means the suggestion matches your existing information, so there is nothing to change. These cannot be selected.
  5. Select what to apply: Tick the fields you want to use, or use Select all. Existing information is only replaced for the fields you select.
  6. Apply your selection: Click Apply selected. The chosen details are filled into the contact panel.
  7. Save the contact: Click Save Edits at the bottom of the contact panel. Applied details are not stored until you save.

✨ Pro Tips

  • Pair enrichment with the Verify Email button in the same panel, so you know the address on a newly enriched record is deliverable.
  • Use Run again after a contact changes roles rather than editing manually, since it picks up their current title and public profiles.

Frequently asked questions

Will enriching overwrite my existing contact details?

Only the fields you select. Anything already filled in is labelled Has existing value so you can see what would be replaced before you apply it.

Does this use enrichment credits?

Yes. Enriching from a contact uses 1 credit. You can check your remaining credits and top up under Manage Billing in Settings. Credits wil not be used if no additional contact infomation is found.
