Apollo.io with Nexra

Connected, approved, proven.

The things teams do most with Apollo.io, an example flow with a person in the loop, and what Nexra keeps as proof.

Top actions

  • Create accountaccounts.createApproval by rule
  • Log call recordcalls.createApproval by rule
  • List account stagesaccount_stages.listRead

Example flow

  1. Apollo.io · List account stagesaccount_stages.listDone
  2. Apollo.io · Create accountaccounts.createMaker-checker
  3. Nexra · Record the decision and result in the evidence chainProven

Example workflow. Routine runs go through on their own. Only a change your rules flag, such as one over a limit you set, waits for the right person, who sees the exact change and the rule before it reaches Apollo.io.

What gets logged

  • Whether it ran on its own or who approved it, and under which rule
  • A fingerprint of the exact request sent to Apollo.io
  • Apollo.io's reply: what it created or changed
  • One entry in the evidence chain, linked to the one before

Access and limits

Authentication
Apollo API key (x-api-key header)
Plans and access
API access depends on the Apollo plan; enrichment and database search consume plan credits. Some endpoints (people search, users, sequences, calls, email stats) need a master API key. API-key requests act as the workspace's longest-standing admin.
Test environment
A free Apollo account can be used to test non-credit endpoints.
Rate limits
Per-endpoint minute, hour and day limits by plan (for example 50/200/600 on free plans); HTTP 429 when exceeded. usage_stats.get reports the remaining allowance per endpoint.
Pagination
page/per_page with pagination.total_pages; notes use skip/limit; outreach email search pages until a short page.
Provider events
Apollo does not offer general record-change webhooks for this API. Flows run on demand, on a schedule, or when a scheduled check finds new or changed records.

Before you build a flow

  • people.generate, organizations.generate, organizations.search, organizations.get, people.get, job_postings.list, news_articles.search and conversations.get consume Apollo credits; they are billable and never retried automatically.
  • Contact, account, call and outreach email searches return at most 50,000 records (100 per page, 500 pages).
  • Adding contacts to a sequence enrols one contact per operation; Apollo then sends sequence emails on its own schedule. Nexra creates sequences inactive and never activates them.
  • Contact and record creation have no idempotency key except contacts.upsert and accounts.upsert, which use Apollo's run_dedupe matching.
  • accounts.upsert returns an existing matching account without changing it; use accounts.update to change it.
  • Apollo has no last-modified filter on contact or account search; sort by updated date instead. Notes can be filtered by creation date only.
  • Email drafts are created unsent; Nexra does not offer Apollo's send-now endpoint.
  • fields.update replaces the full picklist when picklist values are sent; send every option you want to keep.
