Crelate's Contact Data Enrichment tool is a powerful sourcing feature enabling customers to enrich profiles to collect additional contact details such as phone number, email address, employer and more. With just a few clicks using both the Chrome Extension and directly within a contact's profile in your database, you'll be able to unlock rich details for over 2.5 billion unique individuals you're looking to engage. This feature is available as an add-on for all Business and higher subscribers.

This guide will cover:

To begin, customers may purchase Contact Data Enrichment by Connecting with Crelate Support. For more details on plan information, please review our Contact Data Enrichment Plans & Pricing guide.

There are specific requirements of using Contact Data Enrichment surrounding required data points.

**Please note** there may be a scenario in which the above fields are fulfilled but do not allow for a match. This may occur if the contact, based on the information given, cannot be found and thus not updated (depicted below). Should this occur, we recommend adding a LinkedIn URL to the profile for the best success rate.

You also might be asking, why these requirements? We wish to ensure the data you're updating is the most fully accurate it can be. For example, if all you have listed is the name John Smith, the tool may not know which of the the thousands of John Smith’s you're looking for to ensure the data it’s populating is accurate. As a result, we list several requirements and best practices. Essentially, the more you give the tool to work with, the better the results are likely to be. However, using something public such as a LinkedIn URL is a great way to get started!

Once you've selected your plan and understood the requirements, you may begin using Contact Data Enrichment both within a contact record and within Crelate's Chrome Extension. To begin, navigate to your Chrome Extension to parse a profile. For more details on the basics of using Chrome Extension, please check out our Full Guide.

Once you've selected Parse, you'll notice the ability to Enrich within the extension.

Enriching will source contact, social, and demographic information for over 2.5 billion unique individuals. You'll notice new details may populate within the contact record and an Enriched activity will display in your contact activity feed. The Enriched activity will allow you to review added work history, contact address, previous company details and much more. You'll notice some fields will parse to the contact profile, while others may not. As a result of Crelate, by default, not supporting all listed fields, it may be recommended as a best practice to consider adding additional custom fields to copy and paste information over if you would like it more prominently listed on the contact details.

Within a contact record, select the This Contact menu and then select Enrich.

This will consume a credit and display the contact dialogue. After selecting Save you'll then be brought back to the contact record to review added details as well as the Enrich activity.

You may also bulk enrich up to 50 contacts at one time! Please click HERE for a complete overview on Bulk Enrichment

To begin, navigate to Contacts or a Job Dashboard and select a group of contacts you'd like to enrich. Once selected, use the Selected Contacts drop-down and select Enrich Contacts and then approve the Terms of Service.

The next view will display a review of all contacts, including newly mapped fields.

In this view, you will have the option to Save All, Skip, and Save & Next:

**After Skipping or selecting Save & Next, you will not be able to go back and edit your results for that contact**

When enriching a contact record, users may be presented with an invalid dialog. This dialog is part of the Field Validation process for Email/Phone/Website when starting an Enrichment. If any Email/Phone/Website fields appear invalid, the user will be notified that they will not be used for Contact Enrichment matching.

**Please Note- a credit will be consumed at this point**

Contact data enrichments will create a new Enrichment Artifact in Contact Documents allowing users to view and download the raw enrichment data.

In order for non-admin users to utilize Contact Data Enrichment, you will need to grant them access via Settings | User Roles.
