How it works
Canvas sends each person through a waterfall of data providers to find verified contact information. The more context you provide (name, company, LinkedIn URL), the higher the match rate.Example prompts
- “Get the email for Jaspar Carmichael-Jack, CEO at Artisan”
- “Find emails for these people”
- “Get email and phone for the VP of Sales at Stripe”
Email types
You can ask for specific email types:Example prompts
- “Get their personal email addresses”
- “Find work emails for these contacts”
What you get back
Tips for better match rates
- Include LinkedIn URL — dramatically improves accuracy. If you have people without LinkedIn URLs, ask Canvas to find them first.
- Use domain, not company name — “acme.com” works better than “Acme Inc”.
- Include job title — helps disambiguate common names.
- Check email_status — filter to “valid” for deliverable addresses.
Typical pipeline
Most contact enrichment follows this pattern:“Find 5 AI startups in SF, find their CEOs, and get their email addresses”Canvas chains: Companies → People → Contacts automatically.
