## FAQ

### What does the inbound lead identification task return?

### What input is needed to enrich inbound lead emails?

To enrich inbound leads, provide the work email addresses from your form, CRM or signup list. Addresses are lower-cased and de-duplicated before lookup.

### How do I run the inbound lead identification task on a schedule or send results to Google Sheets?

Start the inbound lead identification task from the Apify console, API or a schedule, then export the dataset as CSV, JSON or Excel and import it into Google Sheets, or connect an integration.

### How do sales teams use email-to-person lookup for inbound leads?

Sales teams run this inbound lead task on new signups to see seniority and company, then route senior titles to a rep first and send the rest to nurture.

### Can inbound lead enrichment handle personal email addresses?

Inbound lead enrichment works best with work addresses. A personal address may have no person on file, in which case the task returns a notice row instead of a person.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bdata/person-by-email.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
