Apollo Chrome Extension Overview

Overview

The Apollo Chrome Extension unlocks Apollo functionality in many of the tools that you use every day, including LinkedIn, Gmail, Salesforce, as well as many of the major brand websites across the internet.

When you use LinkedIn, the Apollo Chrome Extension allows you to find new prospects with verified data that includes direct mobile numbers and email addresses. You can add these contacts to lists and sequences that you've already built in Apollo. You can also stay on top of job changes with alerts and update your contacts directly.

When you use Gmail, you can utilize Apollo templates when you compose emails in your Gmail mailbox. You can also configure tracking, follow-up reminders, and link emails to Salesforce leads, contacts, and opportunities.

When you use Salesforce, you can employ time-saving Apollo functionality for Lists and view information from the Apollo database by clicking the widget on a contact page.
