Overview
Teams with large contact lists can keep contact data updated with CSV enrichment. Enrichment improves both people and company data, providing the most updated information on names, job titles, location, employment, company funding, and more. CSV enrichment is a great way to leverage the vast amount of data available in Apollo for the most effective outreach to your existing contacts.
Check out the following sections to use CSV enrichment for your people or company data.
You can upload a maximum CSV file size of 1,000 total rows. Files with more than 1,000 rows will cause an error. To work around this limitation, split large files into smaller separate CSVs that include fewer than 1,000 rows.
