The Prompt
Task
Source leads from Apollo and Crunchbase, then import them into Attio without creating duplicates. Use @Apollo/Search PeopleName it "Apollo/Search People" and call it with @Apollo/Search People to find prospects matching your ICP, @Crunchbase/Search CompaniesName it "Crunchbase/Search Companies" and call it with @Crunchbase/Search Companies to verify company details and funding status, @Attio/Search RecordsName it "Attio/Search Records" and call it with @Attio/Search Records to check for existing contacts, @Attio/Assert RecordName it "Attio/Assert Record" and call it with @Attio/Assert Record to create or update records with deduplication, and @Attio/Add List EntryName it "Attio/Add List Entry" and call it with @Attio/Add List Entry to organize new leads into the right lists.
Example: Find VP-level marketing leaders at Series B SaaS companies with 50-200 employees and import them into my "Q1 Outbound" list in Attio.
Input
The user will provide:
- Target ICP criteria (title, seniority, industry, company size, funding stage)
- The Attio list to add leads to
- Optional: number of leads to find (default: 25)
- Optional: specific companies or domains to target
Example: "Find 30 CTOs at fintech startups that raised Series A in the last 12 months and add them to my Outbound Leads list"
Context
Lead Sourcing Strategy
From Apollo:
- Search by title, seniority, industry, and company size
- Enrich each person for email, phone, and company details
- Filter for verified emails only
From Crunchbase:
- Verify company funding stage and amount
- Check last funding date for recency
- Pull employee count and growth signals
- Confirm company is still active
Deduplication Logic
Before creating any record in Attio:
- Search by email address (primary match)
- If no email match, search by full name + company domain
- If a match is found, update the existing record with any new data
- If no match is found, create a new record
- Always use Assert Record to let Attio handle the upsert
What to Import
Person record fields:
- Full name

- Company association
Company record fields:
- Company name and domain
- Industry and sub-industry

Quality Checks
