How to Use Clearbit Connect in Gmail

Clearbit Connect is a free Chrome extension that integrates directly with Gmail, allowing you to find email addresses and company information without leaving your inbox. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Install the Clearbit Connect extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Once installed, open your Gmail. You'll notice a new Clearbit icon.
  3. To find an email, click the Clearbit icon, enter the domain of the company you're interested in, and select the right contact from the list provided.
  4. Each user gets 10 free credits per month, with each email reveal costing one credit. Check your credit usage anytime in your Connect settings.

How to Use Clearbit Extension

The Clearbit extension works not only within Gmail but also as you browse the web. It helps you identify and learn about companies and their employees directly from your browser:

  1. With the extension installed, visit any company website.
  2. Click the Clearbit icon to view detailed company information, including size, revenue, and technology used.
  3. Go to the "People" tab within the extension to see a list of employees. Click on a name to reveal their email address, using your credits.

How to Use Clearbit to Find Emails

Finding emails is a primary feature of Clearbit, streamlined through its Connect extension. Here are additional strategies:

  • Directly within Gmail, use the Clearbit search functionality to find contacts by company domain or employee name.
