Overview
This node provides a streamlined interface to the Explorium API, specifically focusing on enriching data for businesses and prospects. The "Enrich" operation allows users to enhance existing company or person records with additional detailed information such as firmographics, technographics, contact details, LinkedIn activity, financial metrics, and more.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Enhancing CRM records with up-to-date company or prospect insights.
- Adding detailed business intelligence data for market research.
- Enriching lead lists with verified contact information and professional profiles.
- Monitoring company website changes or LinkedIn posts for competitive analysis.
For example, a marketing team could use this node to enrich a list of companies with their industry, size, and recent funding rounds before launching a targeted campaign. Similarly, a sales team might enrich prospect records with verified emails and phone numbers along with LinkedIn activity to prioritize outreach.
