All you need to know about the Email Finder feature

How does the Email Finder work? What is Dropcontact?

Waalaxy's goal is to make multi-channel prospecting as easy as possible, starting from LinkedIn and going towards cold-email thanks to email enrichment. But to do cold emailing, you need the email addresses of your prospects.

So we decided to integrate DropContact, the reference tool in terms of email enrichment on the market. ✅

🦕 What is email enrichment?

The enrichment of emails is to find an address from information such as the first name, last name, and company of a prospect. The goal being to be able to contact this person directly afterward.

There are two main types of email enrichment

  • Those that work with databases,

  • Those based on semantics.

The second method, on which Dropcontact works, is based on semantics. In other words, an algorithm will combine the different possible formats of the email from the first name, last name, and website of the company and then test if these emails are valid. This method has several advantages:

  • It respects the GDPR,

  • It is based on up-to-date data because it systematically checks that the email exists and is based on the LinkedIn data that we provide to the tool, which are updated by the users themselves.

🐯 How does Dropcontact email enrichment with Waalaxy work?

Waalaxy integrates the possibility, in a big part of the available sequences, to go through an enrichment step that will directly call the Dropcontact API based on the LinkedIn info, just retrieved. 👇

The operation is quite simple and does not require any action on your part, besides adding your prospects to a campaign with an "Email Finder" step.

  • when the prospect gets to the enrichment step, we send his first name, last name, and company website to Dropcontact, which searches and returns an email if it is found.

  • If the email is found, it will go in the “Has email” part of the sequence and if not found, in the “Does not have email” part.

🐨 Is email search included in my Waalaxy subscription?

Absolutely. Always in the interest of ease, we offer the possibility to enrich emails without having a subscription with Dropcontact.

Everything is managed automatically and integrated into your subscription.

Only the Business plan gives you access to the Enrichment feature.

🦝 How many emails can I recover per month with this feature?
