Saving to a List
Once you have a set of matching prospects:
- Select contacts — check individual rows or select all on the page
- Click Save to List
- Choose Create New List or add to an existing list
- Name the list something descriptive (e.g., “Q1 SaaS VP Marketing - West Coast”)
Prospects saved to a list are now in your graph8 workspace and can be enrolled in sequences, enriched, or exported.
Enrichment
graph8 enriches prospect data automatically when you save contacts to a list. Enrichment fills in missing fields like:
- Email addresses — verified work emails
- Phone numbers — direct dials and mobile
- LinkedIn profiles — profile URLs
- Company data — size, revenue, industry, tech stack
You can also run enrichment manually on any list from Data → Lists → Actions → Enrich. For advanced enrichment — waterfall providers, AI research, and formula columns — see Enrichment & Formulas.
