How it works

Email conversations

Clearbit requires an email address to search for matching person or company profiles. If the conversation type is email, Clearbit will display the matching records. If there are multiple people on an email thread, you can toggle between records by selecting an email address from the dropdown menu at the top of the integration panel.

 

Other channel types

For conversation types other than email (such as Twitter, SMS, chat), Front will try to find a match for you. If the sender handle exists as a Front contact, and that contact record also has an email address, Clearbit will search against that email address. If the sender handle doesn’t have an associated Front contact or that contact doesn’t have an email, Clearbit will not be able to show any profile data.

Customizing the plugin

You can also customize what fields the Clearbit plugin displays by clicking on the Settings button in the top right corner of the integration panel. From here, check or uncheck the fields you want to be displayed in Front. 

 

Search by email

You can manually look up any email address in Clearbit by clicking the Search button in the top left of the plugin.
