Apollo Data Integration — B2B Contact Enrichment

Improvado connects to Apollo via API key authentication through the Apollo Enrichment API. Setup takes approximately 5 minutes: you generate an API key in your Apollo account settings, paste it into Improvado's connector configuration, and select which objects (People, Organizations) to sync. Improvado can backfill historical enrichment records and begins real-time syncing immediately after authentication.

Improvado extracts People/Contacts and Organizations/Companies objects from Apollo. For contacts, this includes verified emails, mobile and direct phone numbers, job titles, current and previous employment, LinkedIn and Twitter handles. For companies, you get firmographics (industry, employee count, founded year, annual revenue estimates, total funding, headquarters location) and technographics (tech stack). All Apollo-sourced fields are prefixed with 'Apollo-' to preserve data provenance. Data refreshes in real-time for CRM-integrated records and on-demand for API calls.

Apollo data syncs in real-time for CRM-integrated records (Salesforce, HubSpot) when updates are detected or on scheduled cadences you configure. Improvado supports on-demand enrichment via API calls and bulk CSV uploads, with waterfall enrichment retrying across sources until data is found. Apollo's job change monitoring and missing email enrichment run continuously to combat the 30%+ annual contact data decay rate. You can also trigger manual syncs at any time through Improvado's interface or via your AI agent.

Yes. Your AI agent can trigger enrichment jobs, initiate waterfall sourcing sequences, request email and phone validation, and write enriched data back to Apollo-connected systems like Salesforce or HubSpot. The agent can also upload CSV batches for bulk enrichment (up to 10 records per API call). Every write action is logged in Improvado's audit trail with timestamps, the AI model that initiated the change, user context, and specific fields modified, ensuring full governance and compliance for automated data operations.

Yes. Improvado is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA-compliant, and GDPR-ready. All Apollo API keys and credentials are stored in encrypted vaults with role-based access controls. Data in transit is encrypted via TLS 1.2+, and data at rest uses AES-256 encryption. Improvado never stores your Apollo credits or billing information, and you retain full control over which fields are synced and which AI agents have read or write permissions.

Improvado maps Apollo's contact and company data into a Common Data Model alongside 1,000+ marketing, sales, and analytics platforms. This lets your AI agent join Apollo-enriched contacts with CRM pipeline data (Salesforce, HubSpot), advertising engagement (LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads), and intent signals (6sense, Bombora) in a single query. For example, you can ask 'Which Apollo-enriched leads with verified mobile numbers have engaged with our LinkedIn ads and entered the Salesforce opportunity stage this month?' and get an instant answer across all three systems.
