Product Highlights:

Website Visitors: Contact-level

website visitors

Knowing which companies visit your site is just the start. Apollo now lets you go a step further with contact-level website visitor identification, so you can see exactly who is browsing your pages without waiting for them to fill out a form or convert.

De-anonymize your site traffic and reveal the individuals engaging with your content. See what they're viewing, how often they're visiting, and use that first-party signal to act when intent is high. Plus, you can combine contact-level visitors with the rest of your Apollo workflow, including:

  • Triggering automations when someone lands on a key page
  • Alerting your sales team the moment a high-value contact shows up
  • Enrolling visitors directly into sequences
  • Enriching contact profiles with 65+ data points, verified emails, and phone numbers

Contact-level website visitors is only available with the Inbound Add-On and currently supports US-based visitors.

ChatGPT App

chatgpt

Apollo is now available inside ChatGPT. Run your full outbound workflow, from prospecting to sequence activation, without switching tools. Connect via OAuth in about two minutes, no API keys required.

  • People & Company Search: Describe your ICP in plain language, and Apollo returns matching prospects directly in the chat. Pull company signals like job postings, hiring trends, and funding details from the same conversation.
  • Enrichment & Contact Management: Enrich individual contacts or bulk lists using Apollo credits, and create or update records in Apollo without switching tabs. No manual export required; enriched contacts write back to your Apollo account automatically.
  • Sequence Activation: Browse your available sequences and email accounts, then add or remove contacts from sequences directly from the conversation. The full research-to-activation loop runs in one place.
  • Analytics: Query campaign performance and seller activity from within ChatGPT. Get structured insights on emails, calls, meetings, tasks, pipeline, and sequences, grouped by rep, team, or time period.

Deliverability Suite Enhancements

New deliverability suite diagnostics help teams identify email performance issues earlier and take action before campaigns are affected.

  • Inbox Placement Tests: See whether emails are landing in inbox, spam, promotions, or going undelivered across major providers. These tests give teams earlier visibility into deliverability issues before they impact engagement at scale.
  • Blocklist Detection: Check whether sending domains or IPs appear on blocklists, so teams can identify reputation risks sooner and investigate issues before deliverability declines further.

Learn more about the deliverability suite.

Workflows: No-Show Meeting Trigger

When a scheduled meeting goes without a contact showing up, Apollo can now automatically detect the no-show and trigger a workflow — no manual follow-up tracking required. Teams can use the trigger to enroll no-shows in re-engagement sequences, update CRM records, or alert reps in real time, turning a missed meeting into a structured next step while intent is still fresh.

Learn more about workflow triggers.

Conversations Enhancements

Recent updates to conversations make it easier to navigate calls, manage recordings, and understand changes to your settings.

  • Persistent list filters: The Conversations list page now remembers your last-used filters, so you return to the same view each time without needing to re-select your criteria.
  • Focused upcoming meetings view: The Upcoming Meetings list now only shows meetings you're hosting or invited to, removing unrelated shared calendar events that were cluttering the view.
  • Record Now meeting titles: When starting an ad hoc recording, you can now add a meeting title upfront to make it easier to find the call later.
  • Recording settings audit log: Conversations settings now show a detailed history of changes to recording settings, including who made each change and when.
  • Cleaner recorded users list: When a recorded user has no name on file, their email address now appears in place of the previous placeholder.

Learn more about conversations.

Compliance & Outreach Safeguards

Apollo now includes new tools to help teams reduce compliance risk across calling, recording, and outreach workflows.

  • DNC status in CRM mapping and CSV exports: Customers with DNC screening enabled can now surface DNC status outside Apollo through CRM field mapping and CSV exports. This makes it easier to build compliance workflows, filters, and reporting around do-not-call data.
  • Recording rules compliance updates: Apollo has added stronger guardrails for recording rules in two-party consent jurisdictions, including updated acknowledgments, broader jurisdiction coverage, and improved default recording announcements.

Learn more about DNC status and recording compliance.

Billing & Admin Controls

Apollo now includes new billing and admin controls to help teams manage account details, enforce sending policies, and monitor email usage more effectively.

  • Send Now permission controls: Admins can now decide whether users can bypass daily email sending limits using Send Now. This makes it easier to enforce team-wide sending policies while preserving the existing Send Now experience.
  • Email capacity utilization dashboard: A new Capacity Utilization dashboard in Email Analytics gives admins and sales managers clearer visibility into how fully teams and reps are using their email sending capacity. With sent-versus-capacity views, future scheduled email visibility, and utilization trend reporting, teams can spot underuse and over-capacity risk earlier without manually stitching data together.
  • Self-serve Tax IDs: Customers can now add or update Tax IDs at checkout or at any time in Billing Settings. Tax IDs will automatically appear on invoices, giving teams more control over billing details without needing support assistance.
