Notis

Search Apollo people from lead intake

Route inbound lead requests into a focused Apollo search without manual filtering.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Apollo people search

Searches apollo's contact database for people using various filters; results are limited to 50,000 records and this action does not enrich contact data.

Why this helps

Lead requests arrive in different systems and are hard to compare consistently.

  • Standardize lead discovery
  • Reduce repetitive searches
  • Return a focused prospect list

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Apollo once in Notis.
  • 2Create a webhook automation and describe the desired lead search.
  • 3Tell Notis to search Apollo people using the fields supplied in each webhook payload and summarize matches.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and a report channel.
  • 5Send one real intake payload to test.

Questions about this workflow

What must the webhook include?

Include enough criteria such as role, location, industry, or company details for a meaningful Apollo search.

Does this enrich the results?

No. Apollo people search returns search results without enriching contact data.
