Apollo
· #167 most-usedFind, enrich, and close — your agent works Apollo's 200M contacts
Apollo is a B2B sales intelligence and engagement platform with a 200M+ contact and 35M+ company database at its core. Connect it to Actionist and your agent can prospect by ICP filter, enrich every lead with verified emails and direct dials, create and update contacts and deals, enrol prospects into sequences, and react to account changes in real time — all without a rep touching a keyboard.
Eliminates manual work. Apollo automation eliminates the manual prospecting, lead enrichment, CRM data entry, and sequence-enrolment tasks that consume SDR and AE time between calls.
What your Apollo agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Apollo × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
From inbound email to CRM record in 60 seconds
When a prospect emails your support alias for the first time, your agent reads the sender address, enriches the person and company through Apollo, creates a fully-populated contact and account, and posts a formatted brief to Slack — by the time a human looks at the inbox, the lead is already in the pipeline with title, LinkedIn, headcount, and tech stack attached. No tab-switching, no manual data entry, no leads falling through the cracks.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
