Overview
Saved searches allow you to quickly access and view a group of filtered contacts from the Apollo Search tool. While saved search alerts help you to access up-to-date insights about any new people or companies that match the criteria of those saved searches.
Data changes constantly. Employees move jobs, companies open new roles, and the Apollo database continues to grow. When you subscribe to saved search alerts, Apollo sends you notifications about the latest records that fit your search specifications.
