# @memberjunction/actions-apollo Apollo.io data enrichment action classes for MemberJunction that enable automated enrichment of contact and account records using the Apollo.io API. ## Overview This package provides two server-side action classes that integrate with Apollo.io's data enrichment services to automatically populate account and contact records with company information, social profiles, technology stacks, employment history, and education data. Both actions extend `BaseAction` from `@memberjunction/actions` and are registered via `@RegisterClass` for automatic discovery by the MemberJunction Actions engine. Key capabilities: - **Account enrichment** -- company address, phone, description, social URLs, technology stacks, and associated contacts discovered via organization domain lookup - **Contact enrichment** -- bulk email verification, social profile URLs, employment history, and education history via people matching - **Configurable field mappings** -- JSON-based parameter configuration maps Apollo.io fields to your custom entity fields - **Rate limit handling** -- automatic retry with intelligent backoff for both per-minute and hourly Apollo.io rate limits - **Batch processing** -- concurrent group processing with configurable batch sizes and pagination for large datasets For general Actions framework architecture and design philosophy, see the [parent Actions README](../README.md) and [Actions CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md). ## Architecture ```mermaid flowchart TB subgraph Engine["MemberJunction Actions Engine"] AE["ActionEngineServer"] end subgraph Apollo["@memberjunction/actions-apollo"] AccAction["ApolloEnrichmentAccountsAction"] ConAction["ApolloEnrichmentContactsAction"] Config["Configuration\n(API key, batch sizes)"] Types["Apollo Type Definitions"] end subgraph ApolloAPI["Apollo.io REST API"] OrgEnrich["/organizations/enrich"] BulkMatch["/people/bulk_match"] PeopleSearch["/mixed_people/search"] end subgraph MJCore["MemberJunction Core"] Meta["Metadata"] RV["RunView"] BE["BaseEntity"] end AE -->|executes| AccAction AE -->|executes| ConAction AccAction --> Config ConAction --> Config AccAction --> Types ConAction --> Types AccAction -->|HTTP via axios| OrgEnrich AccAction -->|HTTP via axios| PeopleSearch ConAction -->|HTTP via axios| BulkMatch ConAction -->|HTTP via axios| PeopleSearch AccAction -->|read/write entities| MJCore ConAction -->|read/write entities| MJCore style Engine fill:#2d6a9f,stroke:#1a4971,color:#fff style Apollo fill:#7c5295,stroke:#563a6b,color:#fff style ApolloAPI fill:#b8762f,stroke:#8a5722,color:#fff style MJCore fill:#2d8659,stroke:#1a5c3a,color:#fff ``` ### Account Enrichment Data Flow ```mermaid flowchart LR Start["Load accounts\nmatching filter"] --> OrgAPI["Call /organizations/enrich\nper domain"] OrgAPI --> UpdateAcct["Update account\nfields"] OrgAPI --> TechRec["Create/update\ntechnology records"] OrgAPI --> PeopleAPI["Call /mixed_people/search\nfor domain contacts"] PeopleAPI --> CreateContact["Create/update\ncontact records"] CreateContact --> History["Create education\nhistory records"] UpdateAcct --> Next["Next account"] TechRec --> Next History --> Next style Start fill:#2d6a9f,stroke:#1a4971,color:#fff style OrgAPI fill:#b8762f,stroke:#8a5722,color:#fff style UpdateAcct fill:#2d8659,stroke:#1a5c3a,color:#fff style TechRec fill:#2d8659,stroke:#1a5c3a,color:#fff style PeopleAPI fill:#b8762f,stroke:#8a5722,color:#fff style CreateContact fill:#2d8659,stroke:#1a5c3a,color:#fff style History fill:#2d8659,stroke:#1a5c3a,color:#fff style Next fill:#64748b,stroke:#475569,color:#fff ``` ### Contact Enrichment Data Flow ```mermaid flowchart LR Start["Page contacts\nmatching filter"] --> Batch["Batch into groups\nof 10"] Batch --> BulkAPI["Call /people/bulk_match\nper batch"] BulkAPI --> Update["Update contact\nfields from matches"] Update --> EmpHist["Upsert employment\nhistory"] Update --> EduHist["Upsert education\nhistory"] EmpHist --> NextBatch["Next batch"] EduHist --> NextBatch style Start fill:#2d6a9f,stroke:#1a4971,color:#fff style Batch fill:#64748b,stroke:#475569,color:#fff style BulkAPI fill:#b8762f,stroke:#8a5722,color:#fff style Update fill:#2d8659,stroke:#1a5c3a,color:#fff style EmpHist fill:#7c5295,stroke:#563a6b,color:#fff style EduHist fill:#7c5295,stroke:#563a6b,color:#fff style NextBatch fill:#64748b,stroke:#475569,color:#fff ``` ## Installation ```bash npm install @memberjunction/actions-apollo ``` ## Prerequisites 1.
