Enrich & Identify — Turn Anonymous Reviewers Into Real Leads
Tool: Clay + Phantombuster
Most G2 reviews give you fragments — a first name, maybe a company, maybe a vague title like "Marketing Manager." Clay's job is to take those fragments and find the actual person.
Setup in Clay:
- Create a new Clay table. Columns should include: First Name, Last Name, Company, Title, LinkedIn URL, Email, Review Text, Review Date, Account Status.
- Connect Trigify's output as the data source (via webhook or CSV import if you're doing this manually at first).
- Run Clay's waterfall enrichment to match reviewers to real profiles. The waterfall approach means Clay tries multiple data providers in sequence until it finds a match:
- First pass: Apollo (largest B2B database, catches ~60% of matches)
- Second pass: Prospeo (strong on European contacts)
- Third pass: Dropcontact (GDPR-compliant, good for catching what others miss)
- For each matched profile, pull:
- Verified email address
- LinkedIn profile URL
- Current company + title (to confirm they're still at the same company)
- Company size and industry (helps with segmentation later)
Verify LinkedIn account status with Phantombuster:
This is a critical step most people skip. You need to know if the reviewer's LinkedIn account is currently active or still banned/restricted.
- Take the LinkedIn URLs from Clay and feed them into Phantombuster's LinkedIn Profile Scraper.
- If the profile loads normally and shows recent activity (posts, comments, updates) → they recovered their account → mark as "Active"
- If the profile is empty, shows no recent activity, or doesn't load → they're likely still restricted → mark as "Inactive"
Push this status back into Clay as a column value. You now have a clean, enriched lead list with a clear active/inactive flag on each person.
