Find Personal Email

Give it a LinkedIn profile URL, get back that person’s personal email address.

What it does

• Resolves a LinkedIn profile URL to the person’s personal email address.
• Runs waterfall enrichment — Datagma, RocketReach, LeadMagic, Forager, Findymail and LinkedIn, tried in sequence.
• Stops at the first provider that returns a result. You are charged once per lookup, not once per provider tried.
• Passing first_name, last_name and organization_name alongside the URL raises the hit rate on sparse profiles.
• An empty result means no provider had the address — not that the person has no personal email.

It finds an address. It does not check that the address is deliverable — chain verify_email for that.

Use cases

• Reach someone whose work inbox is a dead end. Filtered corporate mail, a shared alias or a locked-down domain all leave the personal address as the only route.
• Stay in touch through a job change. The personal address survives the move; the work one bounces the day they leave.
• Work founders and small teams. At early-stage companies the personal address often is the business address.
• Use it as a fallback, not a default. At 3 credits it is worth running only after find_work_email comes back empty.

where nothing is found, and do not guess an address. Report credits used.

Example prompts

Best prompting practices

• Say “personal email”. Say it every time. A vague “find her email” will usually land on find_work_email, which is a different address at a third of the cost.
• Try the work email first when either address would do. One credit beats three.
• Pass the name and company alongside the URL whenever you have them — they are free and they lift the hit rate.
• Suppress before you spend. Drop anyone already in the CRM or already sequenced before this step. Filtering costs nothing; re-buying 20 addresses costs 60 credits.
• Forbid guessing. Add “do not guess email patterns” to any batch prompt. A fabricated address looks exactly like a result and bounces like a fake.
• Ask for the misses too. “Return a table: name, LinkedIn URL, personal email, not found where empty.” At 3 credits a lookup you want the hit rate visible while the run is still going.
• Gate the batch. “Show me the row count and the credit total, then wait for my go-ahead.”
• Cap the batch. “Stop after 25 and report credits used” matters three times as much here as it does on a 1-credit tool.

Output
