How does this automation work?
Bardeen's Always-On feature powers this playbook to monitor your Airtable for new lead entries and enrich them using Apollo, even when your computer is off. Keeping your sales leads updated with the latest information is crucial for effective targeting and personalization, which can significantly impact conversion rates. By automating the lead enrichment process, sales teams can focus on engaging with prospects rather than performing manual data entry tasks.
Here is how this workflow enriches and updates leads from an Airtable automatically:
- Step 1: Monitor Airtable for changes - Bardeen stays vigilant for any new rows added to your specified Airtable, ready to act when new data arrives.
- Step 2: Extract email addresses - The workflow identifies the column with email addresses and extracts this crucial information for the next enrichment step.
- Step 3: Enrich with Apollo - Apollo's integration uses the extracted emails to pull in-depth contact information, which will be used to update the lead's record in Airtable.
- Step 4: Update Airtable records - With the enriched data from Apollo, Bardeen automatically updates the corresponding rows in Airtable, ensuring your lead information is always current and actionable.

Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Set up the automation
The first step is to have your Airtable ready with your leads and their email addresses.
Take note of the column name with the email addresses. You will need this when setting up your automation. For the example above, that is “Email Address”.
Step 2: Save the automation
Click the “Try it” button at the top of this page to get this Autobook saved.
You will be redirected to download the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Apollo.io and Airtable if you haven’t done so already.
To integrate Apollo.io, you will need to find and enter your API key.

Bardeen will then prompt you to enter the Airtable and the name of the column that contains the email addresses.
Step 2: Run the autobook to enrich and update leads from Airtable
Make sure the automation is activated (toggled on).
Once new leads are added to your Airtable, Bardeen will use Apollo.io to get more information on each lead and update the Airtable with the information.
Bardeen will update the row with the information it finds using Apollo.io and updates the row.
