Find Work Phone

Give it a LinkedIn profile URL, get back that person’s work phone number.

Tool
find_work_phone
Cost
12 credits
Category
Person Enrichment
Required input
linkedin_url
Returns
Work or office phone number

What it does

  • Resolves a LinkedIn profile URL to the person’s work or office phone number — the company line.
  • Passing first_name, last_name and organization_name alongside the URL raises the hit rate on sparse profiles.
  • An empty result means the number could not be found — not that the company has no line.
  • 12 credits per lookup, charged whether or not a number comes back.

This is the office line. For a personal mobile, use find_mobile_number.

How to use it

Connect the MCP server

Follow the setup guide for your client. Browser sign-in, no API key.

Check your balance first

Check my SyncGTM credits

At 12 credits a lookup, 10 people cost 120 credits.

Ask for one number

Find the work phone for linkedin.com/in/janedoe

Run a short, pre-qualified list

Find work phones for these 10 LinkedIn URLs. Stop at 10, do not retry empties, and report credits used.

Example prompts

Ask your clientWhat you get back
”Work phone for linkedin.com/in/janedoe”One office number
”Office numbers for my 5 target accounts”A capped run you can afford
”Try scraping the site first, then this if nothing turns up”scrape_phones_from_website first, this as fallback
”I need her mobile, not the switchboard”Switches to find_mobile_number

Best prompting practices

  • Say “work phone” or “office line”. Without it your client may reach for find_mobile_number, which costs the same but returns a different number.
  • Try the cheap route first. scrape_phones_from_website is 0.5 credits and often returns the same switchboard number.
  • Check credits first. 12 credits a call adds up faster than any other tool here.
  • Cap hard. “Stop after 10 and report credits used” keeps a list from draining a balance.
  • Do not chain WhatsApp onto it. validate_whatsapp takes a mobile number — an office line is the wrong input.

Output

{ "work_phone": "+14155550100", "status": "found", "linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/in/janedoe" }

Credits and limits

12 credits per lookup. Run check_credits (free) before every batch.

At 12 credits a call this is one of the two most expensive tools in the catalogue, and an empty result costs the same as a hit. If a general company number is good enough, try scrape_phones_from_website at 0.5 credits before you spend here.


ToolUse it instead when
find_mobile_numberYou want the personal mobile, not the office line — 12 credits
scrape_phones_from_websiteA switchboard or sales number will do — 0.5 credits
enrich_organizationYou want the company record rather than a phone number — 2 credits
find_work_emailEmail is enough and you want to keep the cost down — 1 credit
