How to automatically enrich new HubSpot contacts with Apollo
Trigger enrichment whenever a contact is created in HubSpot. Pull job title, company, phone, LinkedIn URL, and firmographic data from Apollo and write it back to HubSpot automatically.

Why enrich contacts automatically?
When a new lead enters HubSpot — from a form, import, or integration — you typically get a name and email. That's not enough for routing, scoring, or personalization. Reps waste time manually looking up prospects on LinkedIn.
Automatic enrichment with Apollo fills in the gaps the moment a contact is created:
- Job title, seniority level, and department
- Company name, size, revenue, and industry
- LinkedIn profile URL and phone number
- Verified work email (if the original is a personal address)
What you'll need
- HubSpot account with API access (private app token with
crm.objects.contacts.readandcrm.objects.contacts.writescopes) - Apollo account with API access (available on all paid plans)
- Apollo API key from Settings → Integrations → API
How it works
- A new contact is created in HubSpot (from any source)
- The automation triggers and sends the contact's email to Apollo's People Enrichment API
- Apollo returns firmographic and demographic data
- The automation writes the enriched fields back to HubSpot contact properties
