Prepare referred contacts for follow-up
Keep a referral moving without turning a quick Slack message into a research session.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Enrich Leads
Tool to create a lead enrichment request for work emails and direct phone numbers. Uses waterfall enrichment across multiple data providers for higher accuracy. Supports batches of 1-100 leads.
Why this helps
Referral details can sit in a DM while you search for verified contact information and lose the thread.
- Request contact enrichment from a referral shared in a direct message.
- Reduce the steps between receiving a referral and deciding how to follow up.
- Keep the referral's Slack context close to the enrichment run.
