ActionApollo.ioUpdated September 2026
How do I find prospects matching specific criteria in Apollo.io?
Short answer: You can search people in Apollo.io by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Apollo.io Search People action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Search People.
What does the Search People action do in Apollo.io?
Apollo's persona + firmographic search — "VP+ at Series B SaaS in SF Bay Area using HubSpot". Returns ranked prospects with contact info ready to enroll into Apollo sequences. The base prospecting query for outbound campaigns.
What inputs does Search People require?
Search People has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Apollo.io returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Apollo.io returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Search People support batch operations?
Run Search People inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Apollo.io's rate limits.
