Using the FullContact App
Use your own FullContact subscription to enrich contacts with social profiles, current employer, location, and photo.
If you already pay FullContact, this app is the cheapest enrichment route available — you're using your own quota rather than buying credits.
Setting it up
- Add FullContact from the Apps marketplace. The app installs one custom field on your workspace,
fullcontact_last_enriched_at, so you can always tell when a contact was last enriched. - Open the FullContact app and click App Settings, then enter your FullContact API key. The key is validated against FullContact on save — if they reject it, the save fails rather than storing a key that won't work. On success it's stored encrypted. You need permission to manage enrichment to see App Settings; without it, the app tells you to ask a workspace admin to enter the key.
- Open the app and click Sync now.
What Sync now does
It finds every contact with an email or phone that hasn't been enriched by FullContact before, and queues them up. Results come back from FullContact and are applied as they arrive, so a large workspace fills in progressively rather than all at once.
What gets filled in
- Backfilled only when empty — first name, last name, full name, gender, photo. What you already have is left alone.
- Appended with deduplication — organizations, addresses, websites.
- Always set —
fullcontact_last_enriched_at, stamped with when the result arrived.
Current limits
Worth knowing so you're not waiting for something that isn't coming:
- Enrichment is manual only — you click Sync now. There's no scheduled re-sync yet.
- Contacts already enriched are not re-enriched. A second Sync now picks up only contacts that are new since the last run.
