Insight Subtypes and Usage

Subtype: buyingCommitteeContactNames

This subtype returns enriched profiles for contacts that likely contribute to or influence the purchasing decision.

API Controls

Generate Insights API

To retrieve the buying committee, provide either a prospect’s email or LinkedIn URL. The system will resolve the associated company and return up to 10 qualified stakeholders.

{
  "insightSubtype": "buyingCommitteeContactNames",
  "contactEmail": "[email protected]"
}

Only one of contactEmail or contactLinkedinUrl is required. If both are provided, resolution accuracy improves.

Autobound uses proprietary logic to identify the most relevant adjacent decision-makers based on title, reporting structure, and company affiliation.
