CLEARBIT n8n INTEGRATION: AUTOMATE CLEARBIT WITH N8N

The "Enrich a company" action is your go-to tool for transforming a simple domain name into a comprehensive company profile. When you provide a company's domain (like "stripe.com"), Clearbit returns detailed firmographic data including company name, industry, employee count, estimated revenue, location, technology stack, and social media profiles.

This action is essential for B2B workflows where you need to qualify leads quickly. Instead of spending 10 minutes researching each company manually, you get instant access to the data points that matter for lead scoring and routing.

Key parameters:

• Credential to connect with: Select your Clearbit account credentials from the dropdown. This is required for authentication.
• Resource: Set to "Company" to indicate you're working with company data. This is a required dropdown selection.
• Operation: Set to "Enrich" to perform the enrichment lookup. This is required.
• Domain: Enter the company's domain (e.g., "acme.com") as text input. This is the required identifier Clearbit uses to find the company.
• Additional Fields: Optionally specify extra properties you want in the response. Click "Add Field" to include specific data points.

Typical use cases:

• Automatically enrich companies when new deals are created in your CRM, then update the deal record with industry and employee count
• Build a lead scoring system that assigns points based on company size, revenue, and tech stack
• Route enterprise leads (500+ employees) to senior account executives automatically
• Create Slack notifications with full company context when high-value prospects visit your pricing page

When to use it: Use this action whenever you have a company domain and need detailed firmographic data. It's perfect for inbound lead enrichment, account-based marketing workflows, and any situation where company context improves decision-making.

The "Autocomplete a company" action helps you find company information when you only have a partial or informal company name. Type "Salesforce" and Clearbit suggests the full company details including the correct domain. This is incredibly useful for cleaning messy data or building search-as-you-type interfaces.

Unlike the enrichment action that requires an exact domain, autocomplete works with fuzzy input—making it ideal for processing form submissions where users might type "SF" instead of "Salesforce" or "MSFT" instead of "Microsoft".

Key parameters:

• Credential to connect with: Select your Clearbit credentials from the dropdown. This is required.
• Resource: Set to "Company" for company-related operations. This is required.
• Operation: Set to "Autocomplete" to perform the name completion. This is required.
• Name: Enter the company name or partial name you want to autocomplete. Accepts text input or dynamic expressions. This field is optional, allowing for flexible workflow designs.

Typical use cases:

• Clean up CRM data by standardizing company names entered manually by sales reps
• Build dynamic forms that suggest companies as users type, improving data quality at the source
• Match imported spreadsheet data to canonical company records before syncing to your database
• Validate company names in webhook payloads before triggering downstream enrichment

When to use it: Use autocomplete when your starting point is a company name (not a domain) or when you're dealing with potentially messy, user-entered data. It's the first step in many data cleaning pipelines.

The "Enrich a person" action transforms an email address into a complete professional profile. Provide an email like "john@stripe.com" and receive the person's full name, job title, seniority level, LinkedIn profile, company information, and more. This is the cornerstone of any lead enrichment strategy.

For sales and marketing teams, this action eliminates the guesswork in personalization. Instead of sending generic outreach, you can tailor messaging based on the prospect's role, seniority, and company context—all automatically.

Key parameters:

• Credential to connect with: Select your Clearbit credentials. This is required for authentication.
• Resource: Set to "Person" to indicate you're enriching individual data. This is required.
• Operation: Set to "Enrich" to perform the person lookup. This is required.
• Email: Enter the email address of the person to enrich. Accepts text input or expressions. This is required—it's the unique identifier Clearbit uses.
• Additional Fields: Optionally add extra fields to customize the response. Use "Add Field" to specify particular data points you need.

Typical use cases:

• Enrich every new email subscriber instantly, then segment them by job title and seniority
• Automatically update CRM contacts with LinkedIn URLs and professional headshots
• Trigger different nurture sequences based on whether the lead is a C-level executive or individual contributor
• Score leads in real-time based on a combination of person seniority and company firmographics

When to use it: Use this action whenever you capture an email address and need to understand who that person is professionally. It's essential for inbound marketing, sales development, and any workflow where personalization matters.
