Professional Email Finder

PhantomBuster’s Professional Email Finder Automation helps you find verified professional email addresses from names, companies, or domains. This quick tutorial covers the main setup steps, from preparing your input file to downloading results.

• Input requirements: Provide either Full Name + Company OR First Name + Last Name + Domain. Google Sheets must be shared with “Anyone with the link.”

• Credit usage: 1 PhantomBuster credit equals 1 attempt per profile (resets monthly). Third-party services (Dropcontact, Hunter, Snov) use your provider credits and require a connected API key.

• Success rate: Email discovery is not guaranteed and depends on input data quality. It is normal to receive fewer verified emails than the number of credits used.

• Free plan limitations: CSV exports include only the first 10 rows, and CSV upload as an input source is not available. JSON exports are disabled.

1. Provide your inputs: Prepare a Google Sheet or CSV with your target data. Select your input source (My Lists, URL, or My Phantoms) and ensure column headers match the expected fields or are mapped correctly in the setup.

2. Configure processing and result file settings: Define how many rows to process per launch and optionally specify “Fields to keep” to generate a separate, cleaner CSV with only selected data.

   “Rows per launch” defaults to 10. Leave this field empty if you want the Phantom to process all rows in a single run.

3. Choose your email discovery service: Select PhantomBuster credits or connect a third-party provider like Dropcontact, Hunter, or Snov using your API key. Ensure you have sufficient credits available before launching.

4. Select launch frequency: Choose whether to run the Phantom manually, at a specific time, repeatedly on a schedule, or automatically after another Phantom finishes.

5. Adjust advanced settings if needed: Modify execution limits, proxy settings, or file management options only if you have specific requirements; the default settings work for most users.

6. Launch and retrieve results: Click Launch and wait for the process to complete. In the Results tab, you will find your original data with a new column containing verified email addresses.

   Estimated execution time is approximately 3 minutes per 10 profiles.
