Match founder inquiries to Apollo profiles
Turn a short inbound message into enough context for a thoughtful first response.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Enrich person with Apollo
Enriches and retrieves information for a person from apollo.io, requiring one of: `email`, `hashed email`, `id`, `linkedin url`, or (`first name` and `last name` with `organization name` or `domain`) for matching; `webhook url` must be provided if `reveal phone number` is true.
Why this helps

- Understand company fit
- Prepare a better response

Questions about this workflow
What if only a company name is present?
Ask Notis to enrich the organization separately or report that person matching needs more data.
