Delivering Apollo Data to Salesforce Agentforce with 240M Contacts

With Hunter, Salesforce customers can access Apollo's network of 240 million contacts directly through the agent — even if they are not Apollo customers. Hunter can tap into Apollo's sales intelligence to research accounts, find prospects, enrich contact information, and identify timely signals for outreach.

"Thousands of teams already run Apollo alongside Salesforce, and are increasingly adopting AI workflows for their GTM," said Scott Singerman, VP of Partnerships at Apollo. "Delivering Apollo's network of 240 million contacts natively inside Hunter is a real unlock for customers. This partnership with Salesforce advances Apollo's mission to deliver modern GTM to teams of any size, wherever they work."

"Agents are only as effective as the data they can access," adds Rohan Punamia, VP of Product Management at Salesforce. "By bringing Apollo's intelligence natively into Hunter, we're giving every Salesforce customer the prospecting data and signals they need to grow revenue — without a separate Apollo subscription to manage."

Seven Prospecting Actions Power Account Research and Outreach Timing

Through the integration, Salesforce's Hunter agents can now tap into seven Apollo prospecting actions, backed by Apollo's contact database that delivers 98% email accuracy, to research accounts, find contacts, and time outreach:

Company Search: finds accounts that match a described ideal customer profile (ICP), Company Enrich: fills in firmographic detail (size, industry, tech stack, funding stage), Person Search: finds contact(s) at a target account, Person Enrich: fills in contact-level detail, including verified work email, Person Enrich with Mobile Phone: adds a verified mobile number, News Enrich: surfaces company news and signals like funding rounds or leadership changes, Job Posting Enrich: surfaces open roles as a timing and growth signal.

This new dedicated integration is built specifically for Salesforce's Hunter and is distinct from Apollo's existing public listing on Salesforce AgentExchange. It is a further extension of Apollo's commitment to delivering its AI GTM system directly into the tools teams already use, announced shortly after the launch of Apollo's latest Slack app, which enables users to run lead discovery, sequence creation and sequence optimization natively in Slack.

Mutual Apollo and Salesforce customers will be able to use Apollo as a data vendor by connecting their existing Apollo account. Hunter is currently in pilot, with general availability planned for November.
