OutcomeContacts that a connected enrichment tool fails to match get a manual research task after a short grace period, instead of quietly staying incomplete because everyone assumed enrichment handled it.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when a third-party or native enrichment integration populates a known set of fields shortly after contact creation, and you need a fallback for the records it cannot match.
  • Use it when the field your enrichment tool writes on a successful match is known in advance, whether that is Industry, Number of employees, or a vendor-specific field.

Skip it

  • Do not use it without confirming which specific property your enrichment integration writes on success; guessing the wrong property makes this workflow always fall back, even on genuine matches (check in your portal: the exact property your enrichment integration populates on success, checked directly in that integration's settings or field mapping).
  • Do not use it if your enrichment tool runs on a schedule longer than a day; extend the delay in Steps to match, or the fallback fires before the tool has had a real chance to match the record.
