Overview
The Apollo Chrome Extension brings Apollo data and actions into the tools and websites where you already prospect, including Gmail, Google Calendar, LinkedIn, and company websites.
Instead of switching tabs to look someone up, you can save contacts and companies, add prospects to lists and sequences, compose and track emails, log activity, and push records to your CRM from the page you already have open.
How It Works
The extension reads the page you have open and matches it to Apollo's database. On a LinkedIn profile it identifies the person, on a company website it identifies the company, and in Gmail it identifies whoever you're emailing.
Once it recognizes the page, the extension displays Apollo's data for that record alongside the actions available for it, such as saving the contact, adding them to a list or sequence, logging an activity, or pushing them to your CRM.
What you can do varies by surface. Each supported platform exposes a different set of actions, and some actions depend on the integrations connected to your Apollo account. That's why the extension looks different in Gmail than it does on LinkedIn, and why Apollo data appears on some pages but not others.

Where can I use the Apollo Chrome Extension?
The extension works across supported platforms, including Gmail, Google Calendar, LinkedIn, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesloft, and company websites. The actions available to you vary by platform and by the integrations connected to your Apollo account.
Why don't I see Apollo data on every page?
Apollo data appears only when the extension can match the page to a record in Apollo's database, and coverage varies. On LinkedIn Sales Navigator in particular, some prospect and company profiles don't display Apollo information. When that happens, open the standard LinkedIn profile for that person to continue prospecting.
Can I use the Apollo Chrome Extension on Microsoft Edge?
Yes. The extension is also available for Microsoft Edge, and you install it from the Microsoft Edge web store. Apollo releases updates to the Chrome version first, and Edge updates follow after.
Does prospecting with the extension use credits?
It depends on the action you take. Some prospecting actions consume credits and others don't. To review your current usage, navigate to Settings > Credits in Apollo.
How do I stay compliant when prospecting with the extension?
Apollo doesn't remove EU-based or UK-based contacts from the Apollo Chrome Extension, so confirm a prospect's location before you contact them. Make sure your team follows applicable data privacy laws, including GDPR, before enrolling prospects in outreach.
