Every address comes back with the qualification Dropcontact gives it. - Kite also sends Dropcontact the addresses you already have, so a list you inherited or haven't emailed in months gets checked before it goes into a campaign. - The same pass fills in each person's LinkedIn profile, phone number, location, and company details. For French companies, Kite can also collect the SIREN number, activity code, VAT number, and registered address. - Kite then puts the finished contacts to work. It adds them to your CRM or a spreadsheet, or writes and sends an outreach campaign to them once you approve it. - You connect your own Dropcontact account with an API key. Dropcontact isn't built into Kite, so the lookups run on your account's credits.

You give it the people you want to reach, identified by name and company, by LinkedIn profile, or by an email address you already have. It returns a work email with a qualification that says what kind of address it is, along with the person's LinkedIn profile, phone number, location, and company information. An AI marketer uses Dropcontact for the step between knowing who to contact and being able to contact them. Kite decides who belongs on the list, prepares each row so Dropcontact has a strong starting point, runs the list through your account, and sorts the results. Then it carries the contacts into your CRM, a spreadsheet, or the campaign they were gathered for. ## Marketing jobs Kite can do with Dropcontact Kite uses Dropcontact for three connected jobs: finding emails for people you've already chosen, checking the addresses you already hold, and filling in the rest of each contact record. All three end with the contacts in use rather than sitting in a file. ### Find work emails for the people on your list Kite finds each person's work email by sending Dropcontact the best identifier it has for them. That can be a first name, last name, and company, a full name and company, or a LinkedIn profile URL. Say your team scanned 140 badges at a trade show, and the export has names and company names but no email addresses. Ask Kite to get the list ready for follow-up. Kite reads the file, sets aside your current customers and the people who don't look like buyers, adds each company's website where it can, and submits the rest to Dropcontact. Dropcontact takes up to 250 people in a single request, and a request usually finishes in under a minute. When the results arrive, Kite tells you how many of the 140 it can now reach and lists the people Dropcontact couldn't find. You can then fill in a missing company, or decide those people aren't worth chasing. ### Check the addresses you already have Kite sends Dropcontact the email addresses already on a list, and Dropcontact checks each one and returns its qualification. This matters most for old data. A contact export from your CRM two years ago is full of people who have since changed jobs, and their old company addresses stop accepting mail. Kite reads each qualification and decides what to do with the address. It marks the addresses that are ready for outreach, flags the ones that need a more careful send, and keeps shared inboxes out of personal campaigns. That way the campaign audience is built from addresses you can trust. ### Fill in the rest of the contact record Kite uses the same Dropcontact pass to complete each contact, not just their email. Along with the address, Dropcontact returns the person's LinkedIn profile, phone number, and location, plus information about their company. Kite adds those fields to each row, so a bare list of names turns into a list you can sort by region, check against your ideal customer profile, and use to write a relevant message. For French companies, Kite can ask Dropcontact for official company registry details as well. Those include the SIREN number, the NAF activity code, the VAT number, and the company's registered address. If you sell to French businesses, that gives you a reliable company identifier and an industry code you can segment on. ### Put the finished contacts to work Kite takes the enriched list wherever your team needs it. Dropcontact supplies and checks the data, and Kite moves it into the tools where the next step happens: - **Your CRM.** Kite creates or updates each contact in a connected CRM such as HubSpot, with the work email and Dropcontact's qualification on the record and a note on why the person fits. - **A spreadsheet.** Kite saves the list to a connected Google Sheet, one row per person, with their company, email, qualification, LinkedIn profile, and the score Kite gave them. - **An email campaign.** Kite scores each person from one to five against your ideal customer profile, researches their company, and writes a message for each one. Once you approve the campaign, it sends from your team's Kite address or a connected email product and reports which messages were delivered, which failed, and who replied. ## What Kite reads and changes in Dropcontact Kite sends contacts to Dropcontact and reads back what Dropcontact found. Dropcontact doesn't hold a contact database for Kite to manage, so the finished records live in the tools you choose, such as your CRM or a spreadsheet. ### Information Kite can read - **Work emails and their qualifications.** The address Dropcontact found or checked for each person, with the qualification Dropcontact gave it. Kite uses the qualification to decide which addresses are ready for outreach. - **Contact details.** Each person's LinkedIn profile, phone number, and location. Kite adds these to the row so the list is complete before it reaches your CRM or campaign. - **Company information.** Details about each person's company, and for French companies, the SIREN number, NAF code, VAT number, and registered address. Kite uses these to check fit and to group the list. - **Partial results.** The rows Dropcontact has already finished while the rest of a request is still running. Kite picks these up so a long list keeps moving. ### Information Kite can create or change - **Enrichment requests.** Kite submits up to 250 people at a time, each identified by name and company, LinkedIn profile URL, or existing email. It chooses whether to ask for French registry details and asks for the results in English. ## How Kite connects to Dropcontact Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. Add an API key for your Dropcontact account. Kite uses the access granted to that key. Dropcontact isn't one of Kite's built-in sources, so you need your own account, and the lookups Kite runs draw on that account's credits. Once Dropcontact is connected, you can start from the result you want, in the Kite web app or in Slack. For example, you might say, "Find emails for everyone on this trade-show list with Dropcontact and add the good ones to HubSpot." Before it submits anything, Kite tells you how many people it will send, which rows it is setting aside and why, and where the finished list will go. Confirm the plan, and Kite starts. ## How-to guides using Dropcontact - [How to find and verify work emails with Dropcontact](/how-to/find-and-verify-work-emails-with-dropcontact.md) Kite prepares each row so Dropcontact gets the strongest starting point, runs the list in batches, and sorts every address by Dropcontact's qualification into ready to send, catch-all, generic, or not found. The finished list lands in your spreadsheet, CRM, or outreach tool with a summary of what changed. ## Where Dropcontact fits in Kite's marketing work ### [Build qualified B2B lead lists](/use-cases/build-b2b-lead-lists.md) Dropcontact supplies and checks the contact details that make a qualified list usable. Kite decides which companies and people belong on the list using its built-in research, and it scores each prospect against your ideal customer profile. Dropcontact then provides the work emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn profiles Kite needs to reach the people who made the cut. ## Common questions ### Can Kite find work emails without a Dropcontact account? Yes. Kite has its own work-email finder built in, which tries several sources and checks the addresses it finds, with no account of your own. Connect Dropcontact when your team already pays for Dropcontact credits, when you want its qualifications on your records, or when you want Dropcontact's French company registry details. ### Does Dropcontact work for contacts outside France? Yes. Dropcontact finds and checks emails for companies outside France as well, and Kite asks for the results in English, since Dropcontact replies in French by default. The registry details, meaning the SIREN number, NAF code, VAT number, and registered address, apply only to French companies.
