What you can automate

What can the Reverse Contact Make integration do for you?

It lets Make send an email address or a LinkedIn URL to Reverse Contact and get back the person or company data behind it, without code. You build a scenario, the automation you set up in Make as a chain of modules, and each lookup becomes a step in it.

Know who just signed up. A form or a sign-up tool hands Make a bare email. Reverse Email Lookup turns it into person and company data, and the next module writes that data into the tool your sales team already reads.

Research an account before a call. A rep pastes a company page link into a sheet or a CRM record. Get a LinkedIn Company returns the company profile, so the brief is ready before anyone opens a browser tab.

Complete a contact from a profile link. When you already have someone's LinkedIn URL, Get LinkedIn Profile fetches their person profile so the record stops being a name and a link.

What Make does not do here: the app has no trigger, so Reverse Contact never starts a scenario by itself. Another app or a schedule has to kick things off. The official documentation also lists no specific limits, so run a test and read what comes back before you build on it. Our Make training walks through that habit, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted.

Connect

How do you connect Reverse Contact to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key

    You need an active Reverse Contact account and its API key. In Reverse Contact, open the dashboard, click Integrations in the sidebar and copy the API key shown on that page. Keep it at hand for the next step.

  2. 02

    Add a module and create the connection

    In your Make scenario, add any Reverse Contact module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Reverse Contact account linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app. You can type a label in Connection name if you like.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the API key you copied into the credentials field, or follow the on-screen instructions, then save. The module now shows your connection, and every other Reverse Contact module can pick the same one from its list.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with Reverse Contact

GoalWhen a new lead leaves an email in another app, Make asks Reverse Contact who that person is.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Start with the app where your leads arrive, such as a form tool, since Reverse Contact has no trigger of its own.

  2. 02

    Add Reverse Email Lookup

    Click the + to the right of that first module, search for Reverse Contact and pick Reverse Email Lookup. Select your connection, or click Create a connection if this is the first time.

  3. 03

    Map the email

    In the module, map the email address coming from the first module instead of typing one. Each lead passing through is a bundle, one item flowing from module to module, and each lookup counts as one operation on your plan.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then submit a test lead in the first app. Open the bubble above Reverse Email Lookup to read the bundle it received and check which person and company data came back.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    If your first module is scheduled, set its clock (every 15 minutes by default for a new scenario), then switch the scenario on. From here, you can add the module of your CRM to store the result.

Modules

What the Reverse Contact modules do

Reverse Contact gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Reverse Contact1

Get a LinkedIn Company

Action

In Make“Get company data profile from LinkedIn URL”

Hand this module the LinkedIn URL of a company and you get its company profile back, ready to map into a record or a message. It saves the copy and paste that account research usually takes.

When to use it
a prospect's company page link lands in a sheet or a deal, and you want the firm described before the first call.
Watch out
it expects a company page URL, not a person's profile, so check the source field before you map it.
Reverse Contact2

Get LinkedIn Profile

Action

In Make“Get person data profile from LinkedIn URL”

You end up with a person's data profile from nothing more than their LinkedIn URL. Pick it over Reverse Email Lookup when the link is what you have and the email is missing.

When to use it
a contact was added by hand with only a profile link, and the record needs filling in.
Watch out
the documentation does not list the returned fields, so click Run once and read the bundle before you map anything.
Reverse Contact3

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

This module reaches any endpoint of the Reverse Contact API with the connection you already set up, so nothing new to authorize. It covers what the three ready-made modules leave out.

When to use it
the Reverse Contact API documentation shows a request that none of the listed modules performs.
Watch out
nothing is prefilled for you. Keep the API documentation open while you write the request, then test it with Run once.
Reverse Contact4

Reverse Email Lookup

Action

In Make“Get person and company data from an email”

Give it an email address and it returns data on the person and on their company in one go. That is the module most scenarios start with, because an email is usually all a new lead leaves behind.

When to use it
someone signs up for a demo with a work address and your team wants context before replying.
Watch out
each address you send is one operation, so filter out test and duplicate emails upstream.

FAQ

Reverse Contact and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Reverse Contact Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Reverse Contact is a standard app, available from the Free plan like the other 3,000+ standard apps. The Free plan allows 2 active scenarios, a 15 minute minimum interval between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans drop the interval to 1 minute. You still need an active Reverse Contact account with an API key; its pricing lives on the Reverse Contact site, not in Make.
02What do you need to connect Reverse Contact to Make?
An active Reverse Contact account and its API key. You find the key in the Reverse Contact dashboard, under Integrations in the sidebar. In Make, add any Reverse Contact module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you want, and paste the key. That connection is then shared by the four modules of the app, so you only set it up once per account, even if you later add more scenarios.
03Can Reverse Contact trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No. Reverse Contact has no trigger module, only actions, so it never starts a scenario on its own. Put another app first, for example the form or CRM where emails arrive, and let its trigger launch the flow. If that first module is scheduled, Make checks it on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default. If it is an instant trigger, the app calls Make through a webhook as soon as a new lead appears.
04What if the Reverse Contact module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It sends any request to the Reverse Contact API with the connection you already created, so you can reach an endpoint that the three other modules do not cover. Check the request against the Reverse Contact API documentation and test it with Run once. The Make documentation for this app lists no specific limits, so confirm important details with Reverse Contact directly before a lead flow depends on them.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Reverse Contact?
It depends on where your other automations already live. If your forms, CRM and email tools are wired in Make, adding Reverse Contact there keeps every lead flow in one place with one set of connections. If your team already builds in n8n, check whether a node exists for the app before switching tools. Neither choice changes what Reverse Contact returns; the API, the key and your account stay the same.
