Quick answer: In Leads → Search, find a lead and click Reveal Email or Reveal Phone to unlock their contact details (each reveal uses a credit from your plan). Save the lead to contacts, then verify the email before adding it to a campaign.

Revealing a verified email and phone number for a lead

Revealing contact details turns a lead you found into someone you can actually reach. This guide explains how reveals work, what they cost, and how to use them wisely.

Before you start

Select the right person and company first. Review available credits and the information shown before revealing additional contact data.

Practical example

Confirm that the revealed company domain matches the intended employer. Reverify an older email before adding it to a campaign and record the date of the check.

Check your result

Not every prospect has an available email or phone number. Verification is a point-in-time assessment; it cannot promise delivery, current employment, or a response.

How to reveal contact details

  1. In Leads → Search, run a search and open a lead. See How to Find B2B Leads With Leads Search.
  2. Click Reveal Email to unlock the email address (uses a credit).
  3. Click Reveal Phone to unlock the phone number (uses a credit).
  4. Click Save Contact to store the lead with its revealed details.

Understanding reveal limits

  • Each reveal counts toward your plan's email reveal or phone reveal limit.
  • Usage counters at the top of the page show used vs. total reveals.
  • When you run low, upgrade your plan. See How to Manage Your Subscription and Billing.

After revealing: verify before you send

Revealed emails should still be verified before campaigns to protect deliverability:

Best practices

  • Filter to your ideal leads before revealing — don't waste credits on poor fits.
  • Reveal email and phone only when you intend to act on the lead.
  • Verify revealed emails before adding them to a campaign.
  • Monitor your usage counters so you don't run out mid-project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does each reveal cost a credit?

Yes. Email and phone reveals each consume a credit from your plan's limits. Track usage with the counters on the search page.

Why won't a reveal work?

Check that you haven't hit your reveal limit, confirm your subscription is active, and verify your internet connection. Contact support if the issue persists.

Are revealed emails already verified?

Treat revealed emails as candidates and verify them before sending. Verification confirms deliverability and flags risky or invalid addresses.


Reveal with intent: filter first, reveal the best, verify, then reach out.
