Does Dropcontact detect company changes?

Yes! Dropcontact automatically detects when your contacts have changed companies and enriches their records with updated information in real-time. No more chasing outdated data. 🔥

Why company change tracking matters

In B2B, everything is about relationships. You spend months—sometimes years—building trust with your contacts. And too often, when someone changes jobs, that relationship just... ends.

But here's the thing: a contact who changes companies is actually your warmest lead.

Think about it. When someone moves to a new role, they usually:

• Have more decision-making power (promotions happen during job changes)
• Stay in the same industry or adjacent sectors
• Already know and trust your product or service

This person is basically a Trojan horse at their new company. They'll remember the tools that worked for them before. And in their first 90 days, they're actively rebuilding their tech stack.

Bottom line: Your "old" database is way more valuable than you think. With Dropcontact, those relationships don't end when someone changes their email signature: they multiply.

How it works

Dropcontact uses real-time algorithms (no database) to identify when contacts have moved to a new company. When you enrich your file or sync your CRM, Dropcontact automatically:

Detects the company change
You'll see a clear alert: "This person left [old company] to join [new company]"—or "This person may no longer be working for [company]" if we can't identify the new one yet.

Enriches with fresh data

Once the new company is identified, Dropcontact updates the contact record with:

• New verified email address
• New professional phone number
• New company website and LinkedIn page
• Company legal information

Handles multiple job changes
Even if your contact has changed companies 3 times since you last updated their info, Dropcontact detects it and provides the latest data. Your database stays current without extra effort.

Real-world example

Imagine a customer who was previously your champion at Company A. They just moved to Company B as VP of Sales. Dropcontact catches this change, updates their email to their new domain, and flags the move in your CRM.

Now you can:

• ✅ Reach out immediately while they're setting up their new stack
• ✅ Re-engage with a warm intro instead of cold outreach
• ✅ Potentially close a deal at Company B faster

What gets updated

How to use company change tracking

With file uploads:
Upload your CSV or XLS file on Dropcontact, and any contacts who've moved companies will be flagged and enriched immediately.

Via API:
Use our API to enrich contacts programmatically. Company changes are included in the enrichment response.

In your CRM (optional feature):
With our HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Salesforce integrations, you can enable company change detection to:

• Detect outdated records in real-time
• Automatically create new contact records with updated company information
• Generate fresh opportunities for these contacts at their new companies
• Notify the account owner so they can reach out immediately

Why this works better than other tools

Most email finders rely on static databases that get outdated fast. Dropcontact uses 100% real-time algorithms, so every enrichment reflects the contact's current status—not what was true 6 months ago.

We don't guess. We verify. Every email and company match is validated before it returns data.
