name: enriching-evergreen-contacts description: Researches and enriches Evergreen CRM contacts with publicly available information — LinkedIn details, company info, recent news, and shared context. Use when a contact has sparse details, before an important meeting, or when batch-updating stale records.
Contact Enrichment
Works with Evergreen, a local-first personal CRM for macOS. Get it on the Mac App Store.
When to Use
- A contact record has only a name and email
- You want to fill in title, organization, location, or social links
- Before an important meeting where you need full context
- Periodic batch enrichment to keep your database current
How It Works

get_contactto see what's already known - Use web search to find publicly available information (LinkedIn profile, company website, recent news)

tags.add_to_contactbased on what you learn
