Frequently asked

What does the API do?+

The Clodo People Sourcing API supports natural-language people search, contact enrichment (email and phone), full profile enrichment, and AI-drafted outreach — one-off emails and multi-step sequences sent from your own connected inbox.

Can I send emails and run sequences through the API?+

Yes. Provide contacts and instructions to draft a one-off email or a sequence of up to four steps for up to 100 contacts. Connect your sending inbox in Clodo first, then review, approve, cancel, and read replies through the API. Drafts require approval by default; you can also opt into automatic sending. Sequences use a connected Google or Microsoft inbox and stop follow-ups when a recipient replies.
