Contact Search

Find new target prospects to a client's ICP with Apify filters, then add the qualified matches to their Contacts within a monthly allowance.

Find new target prospects to a client's ICP with Apify filters, then add the qualified matches to their Contacts within a monthly allowance.

Overview

Contact Search finds new target prospects for the selected client and saves the qualified ones into their Contacts. Build an ideal-customer profile with the filters on the left, run the search, review the matches, then add them to the client's contact pool. A monthly contact allowance (quota) is shown at the top and is consumed as you add contacts.

How to use this page

  1. 1
    Select the client and check the allowance

    Pick the client in the top-right switcher. The quota card shows how many contacts remain this month, how many are used of the limit, and when it renews.

  2. 2
    Name the search and set how many to find

    Give the search a file name so it is easy to recognize later, then set the number of contacts to find. The default is 1,000; for clients it is capped at the remaining monthly allowance.

  3. 3
    Build the targeting filters

    Add job titles to include or exclude, seniority and functional levels, locations and cities (or exclusions), email status, company domains, industries to include or exclude, company keywords, size, revenue range, and funding stage. Type into a chip field and press Enter to add each value.

  4. 4
    Run the search

    Click Search. The run starts and updates its status as it works; large searches can take several minutes. Results appear in a table with name, title, email, mobile, LinkedIn, location, and company firmographics.

  5. 5
    Review and add to Contacts

    Scan the matches, then click Add to Contacts to save them into the client's contact pool. This is the step that consumes the allowance, so confirm the targeting looks right first.

  6. 6
    Reuse recent searches

    The Recent runs list shows past searches with their file name, status, and count. You can add a past run's results to Contacts from there, or reload its filters to refine and run again.

Common questions

Does running a search use my allowance?

The allowance is consumed when you Add to Contacts, not just by running a search, so you can review matches first.

Why is my contact count capped?

For clients, the number you can find is limited to the contacts remaining in this month's allowance, shown on the quota card.

Where do the contacts go?

Added prospects land in the selected client's Contacts (Contacts > Manage), ready to enroll into a campaign.

My search is taking a while. Is that normal?

Larger searches take longer to build. The run keeps its status updated and you can leave and check Recent runs later.
