Setup
1
Create an API key
In Apollo, go to Settings > Integrations > API > API Keys and create a new key.
2
Go to Integrations
Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Apollo.
3
Add your API key
Paste the key and connect.
4
Test the connection
Ask Indexbrain to search for people at a target company.
Access and rate limits depend on your Apollo plan — some capabilities may
require a master key. Anyone with the key can take actions in your Apollo
account, so treat it like a password.
Capabilities
People search
Company lookup
Saved contacts
Contacts already saved in your connected Apollo account are synced automatically and searchable like any other connected source:What Indexbrain does not do in Apollo (yet)
- No bulk domain enrichment — enriching a list of company domains in one batch isn’t supported; use company lookup one at a time.
- No sequence/campaign analytics — reply rates and performance on Apollo sales sequences aren’t available. This is a separate Apollo product area (sales engagement, not data/contacts).
- No write access — Indexbrain cannot create, update, or add contacts/sequences in Apollo.
Troubleshooting
People search returns no results
People search returns no results
- Confirm your API key has search access — some Apollo plans restrict certain endpoints to a master key.
- Try broadening your filters (fewer titles, a wider employee range).
Company lookup can't find a company
Company lookup can't find a company
- Try the domain instead of the name — domain matches are more reliable.
I need email or phone for a person I found in search

- Not available through Indexbrain’s People Search today — Apollo’s own API separates search from contact enrichment, and enrichment isn’t built here.
