Apollo Release Notes

Agents proactively handle recurring work for you. Agents on Apollo can help you run outbound without you needing to start from a new prompt each time. Set an agent to run on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, then review its results and the recommended next steps in the AI assistant.

Here are the agents you can use:

• Lead discovery: Find prospects that match your ideal customer profile, score them against your criteria, and surface the strongest matches.
• Sequence creation: Get recommended outbound strategies based on your company context, target buyers, and intent signals, then build the sequence with Apollo.
• Sequence optimization: Monitor active sequences for engagement, bounce, and spam signals, then review recommended improvements before Apollo makes a change.

Get started with agents on the AI assistant.

You can now use Apollo directly in Slack with natural language to prospect, research, and take action without switching tools. Ask Apollo to find and enrich people or companies, refine searches, add contacts to lists or sequences, export data, and answer questions about your Apollo data and sequence performance.

• Continue work in Slack: Start a conversation with Apollo in Slack, review results in the thread, and refine your request or take the next step.
• Agent recommendations: Receive scheduled agent results in Slack, review Apollo's recommendation, and approve the next action from the same thread.
• AI assistant notifications: Choose whether Apollo notifies you in Slack when scheduled agent runs or long-running tasks complete, need approval, or encounter a blocker.

France has moved from an opt-out to an opt-in model for commercial calls to consumers, and the French DNC registry has been discontinued. As a result, Apollo no longer screens French phone numbers against DNC nor displays a DNC tag for contacts in France.

French phone DNC screening has been deactivated across Apollo

A French number without a DNC flag does not indicate that it's approved for commercial calling. New and saved French phone numbers on Apollo aren't screened against any DNC registry.

Customer-managed consent

Apollo doesn't collect, store, or track the validity of consent for calls to consumers in France. You're responsible for obtaining and documenting consent where it's required.

Calling controls

Apollo doesn't automatically enforce France's permitted calling hours or calling-frequency limits. Keep your own controls in place and honor opt-out requests across your organization.

The new consent requirements apply to consumer prospecting. Continue to follow applicable GDPR requirements for B2B outreach, use extra caution with sole traders and personal mobile numbers, and consult your legal counsel about your France calling practices.

Catch-all domain protection is now enabled by default for all teams to help protect sender reputation and reduce avoidable bounces. Apollo blocks risky catch-all contacts from manual sends and sequences, while giving admins control to manage the setting and allow trusted domains.

• Two-stage protection: Contacts are checked during enrollment and again before sending from an in-flight sequence.
• Clear visibility: Apollo explains when an email is blocked so reps can understand what happened.

Learn more about email sending policies like catch-all protection.

The AI assistant can now turn your existing prospect information into actionable records. Import a CSV of prospects, leads, accounts, or contacts, or paste a list directly into the assistant to start prospecting.

• CSV imports: Upload a CSV and let the assistant verify that it's ready for prospect import before continuing.
• Pasted lists: Convert structured or unstructured prospect lists into prospect records with the assistant.
• Google Maps prospecting: Use the assistant to find local businesses with Google Maps for hyper-local searches.

You can now find more accounts and contacts by ZIP code. Apollo recovers valid postal codes from address data when an address includes a ZIP code that was not previously stored, improving the completeness of ZIP code search and filtering.

More complete ZIP code filters

• Search results can now include US records that previously had a ZIP code in their address but not in the searchable postal code field.

Validated updates only

• Apollo adds a ZIP code to a record only when it matches the city in the address.

Apollo can fill in missing email addresses for your saved contacts automatically, on a schedule. Two changes help it find more of them.

• More sources checked: When Apollo's own data doesn't include someone's email, scheduled enrichment now continues to additional data providers instead of stopping there. This is called waterfall enrichment.
• More contacts qualify: Whether a contact qualified used to depend on the person record behind it already having an email, which ruled out most of the contacts that needed one. Now any saved contact missing an email qualifies, apart from contacts flagged with a job change.

Set up scheduled enrichment in the Data Health Center.

The parent account filter only reflected the parent company recorded in your own CRM, so any corporate relationship your CRM had not captured was invisible. You can now filter by the parent company Apollo has identified.

Learn more about the parent company filter on Apollo

• Filter on Apollo data: Include or exclude parent companies in people and companies search using Apollo's own parent company data.
• See it on the company: A new parent company field shows the parent company Apollo found, if applicable.
• Jump straight to subsidiaries: The subsidiary count on a company is now a link that opens the full list of those companies.
• Know which source you're seeing: Your existing CRM-based filter and field are now labeled "(Your data)."

A full sync from Salesforce used to work through one record type at a time, so the largest accounts could wait days for it to finish. Apollo now syncs record types at the same time. Even multi-million-record pulls finish within a single day, and most large syncs finish in hours.

• Contacts, leads, and accounts together: All three now sync at the same time instead of one after another.
• How much faster: Accounts sync up to 26.7x faster, leads up to 15.8x faster, and contacts up to 9.5x faster.
• On by default: Available to all free and paid teams. Nothing to enable or configure.
