Connect Apollo to Coco

Coco searches and enriches people and companies in Apollo. Sending email, enrolling sequences and paid lookups always wait for your OK.

What Coco does

Coco finds people and companies in Apollo, reads your contacts, accounts and lists, and drafts outreach. In Ask mode every change waits for your approval. In Autonomous mode Coco creates and updates contacts, accounts and lists on its own. Sending email, enrolling sequences and lookups that spend credits always wait for you.

Before you start

  • An Apollo account with API access. Every plan has basic access, and the free plan has low rate limits.
  • Permission to create API keys in your Apollo team. If you can't, ask your Apollo admin for a key.

Steps

  1. Step 1: Open the API keys page in Apollo

    In Apollo, go to Settings → Integrations → API Keys.

  2. Step 2: Create a key for Coco

    Click Create new key and name it Coco. Switch on Set as master key so the key can call every endpoint Coco uses.

  3. Step 3: Copy the key

    Click Create API key, then Copy. Apollo shows the full key only once.

  4. Step 4: Connect it in Coco

    Paste the key into the APOLLO_API_KEY field and click Connect.

Troubleshooting

Coco says Apollo rejected this API key

The key is wrong, was copied with a space, or was deleted. Copy it again, or create a new key in Apollo.

A search works, but creating a contact or enrolling a sequence fails

The key can't call that endpoint. In Apollo, edit the key and switch on Set as master key, or tick the missing endpoint. Then reconnect.

Coco says Apollo is rate limiting it

Apollo limits calls per minute, hour and day, and free plans hit the limits fastest. Wait a few minutes and ask Coco again.

FAQ

Does Coco spend my Apollo credits?

Only when it enriches people or companies, and Coco asks you first, in Autonomous mode too. Searching for people does not use credits.

Can I limit what the key can do?

Yes. Instead of a master key, tick only the endpoints you want Coco to use. Coco tells you when a call needs an endpoint the key doesn't have.
