What is Apollo.io?

Apollo.io is a sales intelligence and engagement platform used to find prospects, enrich company/person data, and manage outreach workflows. Integrating Apollo.io with Konnectify helps you keep contacts, accounts (organizations), deals, and tasks in sync—so your lead generation and CRM processes stay consistent across tools.

With Konnectify, you can trigger automations when records change in Apollo and push updates to downstream systems, or enrich incoming leads before they reach your CRM.

Accounts/Organizations: create, update, find, and monitor changes
Deals: create, update, find, and monitor new deals
Tasks: create tasks and monitor new tasks
Enrichment: enrich people and organizations
Search: search people by job title and retrieve IDs

Developer resources

For exact request/response schemas and rate limits, refer to Apollo’s API documentation.

Open Apollo API docs →

If your org uses a different Apollo developer portal URL, follow your internal documentation.

Important: plan restrictions & rate limits

Apollo.io API availability and rate limits can vary by plan and workspace settings. If you see intermittent failures or missing data, verify your Apollo plan includes API access and reduce polling frequency or add filtering in your workflow.

How to connect Apollo.io to Konnectify

FAQ

How does Konnectify authenticate with Apollo.io?

This integration uses OAuth 2.0. You provide an Apollo Client ID and Client Secret, then authorize access on Apollo’s consent screen. Konnectify stores tokens needed to call Apollo’s APIs and does not store your Apollo password.

Which Apollo.io plans are supported?

Konnectify can connect to any Apollo.io workspace that has API + OAuth access enabled. If your connection fails or certain endpoints are unavailable, confirm your Apollo plan includes API access and that your user role is permitted to authorize apps.

Are Apollo.io triggers webhook-based or polling?

All triggers in this connector run via polling. Konnectify checks Apollo at the interval you configure and pulls new/updated records. If you need near-real-time behavior, use a shorter schedule and ensure you’re within Apollo’s rate limits.

How do I prevent duplicate contacts or accounts?

This connector does not expose a dedicated “Upsert” action. To prevent duplicates, use a pattern like:

Find Contact → Create Contact or Update Contact

For organizations, match by website domain using Find Account.

What happens if we hit Apollo.io rate limits?

If Apollo responds with rate-limit errors, Konnectify will surface the failure in run logs. To reduce rate pressure:

Increase polling interval for triggers.
Use Find actions only when needed (avoid repeated lookups).
Prefer unique identifiers (ID/email/domain) to reduce multi-result searches.

Can I connect multiple Apollo.io accounts or workspaces?

Yes. You can create multiple Apollo.io connections in Konnectify (for different workspaces or users) and select the appropriate connection per workflow step. Use clear naming (e.g., “Apollo – US Sales” vs “Apollo – EMEA Sales”) to avoid confusion.

How should I use enrichment actions effectively in Apollo workflows?

Use Enrich Person when you have email or LinkedIn URL, and Enrich Person by ID when you already store Apollo Person IDs (more deterministic). For organizations, use Enrich Organization with a clean website domain. Consider enriching only when key fields are missing to control API consumption.
