CRM Hygiene Playbook

Dynamic enrichment and automated cleaning workflows.
Data decay is inevitable, but manual cleaning is obsolete. With BlitzAPI’s Unlimited Model, RevOps teams can shift from “Annual Cleaning” to “Continuous Hygiene”. Instead of buying static lists, you can build Dynamic Playbooks that trigger exactly when you need them.

Playbook 1: The “Dynamic Account” Enrichment

(The “Surgical Strike” Approach) The Scenario: A Sales Rep is working a high-priority Account in Salesforce/HubSpot. The account has potential, but the Rep lacks the right contacts (e.g., the VP of Sales is missing). The Solution: Instead of asking the Rep to go to LinkedIn and manually copy-paste data, you give them an “Enrich Now” button in the CRM.
1

1. Trigger (The Button)

The Rep clicks a button in the CRM (via a Webhook/Flow). The CRM account must have either a Company LinkedIn URL or a Company Domain stored.
2

2. Resolve the Company LinkedIn URL

BlitzAPI requires a Company LinkedIn URL as its primary matching key — a domain alone is not a reliable identifier.
  • If the CRM already stores the LinkedIn URL: use it directly as company_linkedin_url.
  • If only a domain is available: first call POST /v2/enrichment/domain-to-linkedin to resolve the domain into a LinkedIn URL, then pass the result to the next step.

3. The Waterfall Search

Send the Company LinkedIn URL to BlitzAPI’s Waterfall ICP endpoint (POST /v2/search/waterfall-icp-keyword).
  • Example query: “Find the VP Sales or CRO in the US for this company.”

4. Automatic Sync

BlitzAPI returns the matched contact’s LinkedIn URL and profile. Pass it to the enrichment endpoints to retrieve the Verified Email and/or Phone. The automation creates the Contact in the CRM and assigns it to the Rep instantly.

Playbook 2: Net-New Sourcing from your ICP

(The “Fill the Funnel” Approach) The Scenario: Cleaning what’s already in the CRM is necessary, but it doesn’t grow the pipeline. You also need a steady stream of net-new decision-makers matching your ICP — without buying static lists. The Solution: A scheduled job that runs Find People against your ICP definition, diffs the results against existing CRM contacts (by linkedin_url), and inserts only the new ones.
1

1. Define the ICP once

Store your ICP as a JSON request body (industry + employee_range + HQ + persona). See the ICP List Building recipe for a complete template.
2

2. Schedule the run

A weekly cron in n8n/Make calls POST /v2/search/people, paginating with the cursor until exhausted.
3

3. Diff against the CRM

For each returned person, check if linkedin_url already exists in your CRM. Skip duplicates.
4

4. Enrich and insert

Pass each net-new linkedin_url to /v2/enrichment/email (and /v2/enrichment/phone for US contacts), validate, then create the Contact in the CRM.
RevOps Insight: Pair this Net-New Sourcing playbook with Playbook 1 (Dynamic Account Enrichment). One fills the funnel from your ICP; the other deepens coverage on accounts already in motion.

Scaling with Low-Code (n8n, Make, Clay)

The true power of BlitzAPI is unleashed when combined with automation platforms. Because our plans are Unlimited, you can run massive loops without worrying about per-request costs.
RevOps Insight: With the Unlimited Plan, you can set up a “Weekend Job” in n8n that scans your entire CRM, re-enriches every email, and updates job titles, ensuring your team walks in on Monday to a pristine database. Emails returned by /v2/enrichment/email are already verified at source — re-tested against mail servers at least once every 30 days — so no separate validation step is needed.
