Via API steps and webhooks No app to install: Kerux talks to Dropcontact's API with HTTP steps and webhooks, set up once.
Dropcontact emails for your LinkedIn leads
Dropcontact works in batches: one step submits the lead, a Poll until step checks back every few minutes, and the email and company details are ready for the next steps.
How it works
Maria enters the campaign
With a name, a company and no email.
Submit, then check back
Dropcontact needs a minute or two.
Email and company size
Saved on the lead for the next steps.
An example workflow
- Import a list or enroll leads with first name, last name and company.
- A Poll until step submits the lead to Dropcontact (its first call) and gets a
request_id. - Every 5 minutes it asks for the result with that id, until Dropcontact says it's done.
- A Condition on the email: found goes to your email step, empty stays on LinkedIn.
- Send the LinkedIn invitation and the follow-ups as usual.

Set it up
- In Dropcontact, copy your API key from the app's API settings. Kerux sends it in the
X-Access-Tokenheader. - In Kerux, open Integrations > Connections and click Connect on Custom API (under Developers). Pick how Dropcontact signs in, paste the key and Dropcontact's Base URL, click Save, then Test connection.
- Add a Poll until step. Its first call POSTs the lead to
/v1/enrich/allwithfirst_name,last_name,companyandlinkedin. - Its repeated call GETs
/v1/enrich/all/{request_id}and stops whensuccessis true. Use the email fromdata.0.email.0.emailin the next steps. - In the campaign's Builder, click Test to open Test on one lead: the lead's journey shows what Kerux sent to Dropcontact and what came back.
Plan limits: Dropcontact's API uses the same credits as its app; see Dropcontact's pricing for what a credit covers.
Questions
Does Kerux have a native Dropcontact integration?
Not a one-click app. Kerux works with Dropcontact today through Dropcontact's own API: you save your Dropcontact key once in Kerux, then HTTP steps and webhooks do the work inside your campaigns. Nothing to install and no Zapier needed.
Does Dropcontact need the email to start?
No. First name, last name and the company (name or website) are enough; the LinkedIn URL helps.
Why a Poll until step?
Dropcontact answers a submission with an id and works in the background. Poll until asks again on a schedule and continues as soon as the result is there, so nothing waits longer than needed.
What happens if Dropcontact is down or refuses a call?
The lead stops with Dropcontact's own error message and shows in Need attention with a Retry button. It never shows as finished because a call failed, and nothing else goes out to that lead until you decide.
