How Dropcontact Works

The enrichment process

  1. You provide a full name + company name
  2. Our algorithms match the company to its email domain in real-time
  3. They enrich with the contact's work email
  4. Each candidate is verified instantly (syntax, domain, deliverability)
  5. You get back the verified email + enriched data (job title, LinkedIn, company info)

Pay On Success model: You only pay when we find and verify an email. No result = credit refunded automatically.

Built-in email verification

Our native verification checks:

  • Syntax validation
  • Domain existence (MX records)
  • Mailbox deliverability
  • Advanced catch-all handling

⚠️ Important: Don't add third-party verifiers (Neverbounce, Zerobounce, Bouncer) after Dropcontact. They often mislabel our valid emails as risky and hurt your overall coverage.

Two Ways to Use Dropcontact

Dropcontact offers two separate solutions depending on how you want to enrich your data:

Option 1: Files & API

Perfect for teams who want flexibility and control over their enrichment process.

What information do you need to find an email?

The bare minimum to enrich a contact with Dropcontact:

  • First name + last name + company name

That's it! Our engine automatically finds the right email domain from the company name and handles complex matching scenarios.

You can also provide additional data to improve accuracy (LinkedIn URL, job title, location), but the website is NOT required. Our smart matching does the work for you.
