FAQ

Questions about Enrich Person.

What does the Enrich Person action do in Clearbit?
Returns name, title, seniority, role, location, social profiles plus nested company enrichment. For "form had only email → enrich for personalisation and routing" workflows. Coverage strong on US/EU B2B contacts; weaker on personal-only emails.
What inputs does Enrich Person require?
Required: Email. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
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 Clearbit returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Enrich Person support batch operations?
Yes. Run Enrich Person inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Clearbit's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
