Lead Enrichment

How Spara automatically enriches leads with contact and company data after capturing their email.

When a lead provides their work email address during a conversation, Spara automatically enriches their record with additional contact and company data from a third-party data vendor. This gives your agents — and your sales team — a fuller picture of who they're talking to, without the lead needing to provide every detail themselves.

Enrichment runs in the background and typically completes within seconds. The enriched data appears on the Lead Details tab of the Leads detail page and is available to agents in subsequent messages.

When enrichment runs

Enrichment triggers automatically when a lead's email address is captured — whether the lead typed it in chat, submitted it through a webform, or it was passed in via https://docs.spara.com/developers/spara-api/query-parameters.

Requirements for enrichment to run:

  • The lead must have a work email address. Personal email domains (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail, etc.) are excluded because data vendors cannot reliably match them to contact or company records.

  • Enrichment runs once per 24-hour period per lead. If a lead's email changes, enrichment runs again for the new address.

What data is enriched

Enrichment populates two categories of data on the lead record:

Personal information

Field
Description

Name

First and last name from the contact record

Job title

Current role at their company

Seniority

Level (e.g., Director, VP, C-Suite)

Department

Functional area (e.g., Engineering, Marketing)

LinkedIn profile

URL to their LinkedIn profile

Location

Geographic location

Skills & interests

Professional skills and interests from their profile

Company details

Field
Description

Company name

Legal or common company name

Website

Company website URL

Industry

Primary industry classification

Revenue

Estimated annual revenue

Headcount

Approximate employee count

Business model

B2B, B2C, marketplace, etc.

Products

Key products or services offered

Corporate objectives

Strategic goals and initiatives

Competitors

Known competitors in their space

Recent news

Recent press coverage and announcements

Not all fields are guaranteed — availability depends on the data vendor's coverage for each contact and company.

Conversation summary

In addition to vendor-sourced data, Spara generates an AI-powered conversation summary after the lead has engaged. This includes:

  • A summary of the conversation so far

  • Questions the lead asked

  • Sales stage assessment

  • Pain points identified

  • Interests expressed

The conversation summary updates as the lead continues to interact with your agents.

How enriched data is used

Enriched data benefits both your agents and your team:

  • Agent context — Agents can reference enriched data in their responses. For example, if enrichment reveals the lead works at a Fortune 500 company, the agent can tailor its pitch accordingly.

  • Lead details — Your team sees enriched data on the Leads page, giving sales reps context before they take over a conversation or reach out directly.

  • Workflow conditions — Enriched fields can be used in Workflows conditions to route leads based on company size, industry, or seniority.

  • CRM syncing — Enriched data syncs to your connected CRM (Salesforce, Hubspot (CRM), or Marketo).

FAQ

What's the difference between enrichment and deanonymization?

Deanonymization identifies anonymous visitors using IP and behavioral signals — no email required. Enrichment takes a lead whose email is already known and layers on additional contact and company data. Deanonymization is the first guess at who someone is; enrichment fills in the full picture once you have a confirmed identity.

Does enrichment work with personal email addresses?

No. Enrichment requires a work email address. Personal domains like Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook are excluded because data vendors cannot reliably match them to professional records.

Can I disable enrichment?

Enrichment is enabled by default for all organizations. Contact your Spara account manager if you need to disable it.

How often is enrichment data refreshed?

Enrichment runs once per lead when their email is first captured, and can re-run if their email address changes. Company data is refreshed periodically to keep information like revenue, headcount, and news current.
