Enrich social leads with Apollo data
The Buska Apollo integration combines Buska's social intent detection with Apollo's 275M+ contact database to deliver fully-enriched B2B leads ready for outreach. When a buying signal is detected on Reddit, Twitter / X, LinkedIn, Hacker News, Quora, YouTube, or any of the 30+ platforms Buska monitors, Apollo automatically enriches the lead with work email, direct phone, job title, company size, revenue, tech stack, and funding stage. Your sales team gets everything they need to close in one record. Setup takes 5 minutes. The Buska Apollo integration is included from the Growth plan.
What you can do with Buska + Apollo
- Auto-enrich social leads with Apollo contact data (verified work email, direct phone, job title, LinkedIn URL)
- Add enriched leads to Apollo Sequences for automated multi-touch outreach with personalization variables from the social post
- Match social profiles to Apollo's 275M-person and 65M-company database for firmographic enrichment
- Score leads using both Buska intent data (0 to 100) and Apollo firmographics for a composite lead score that beats either signal alone
- Export enriched lead lists as CSV or push them to your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) for handoff to your sales team
- Filter by Apollo data (company size, revenue, industry, location, tech stack) before pushing leads to your CRM, so only ICP-fit prospects enter the pipeline
- Detect buying intent + decision-maker fit in one workflow: Buska finds the signal, Apollo confirms the person is the right buyer
- Use Apollo Plays with Buska-sourced contacts to run pre-built outbound plays (cold email, LinkedIn DM, phone call) at scale
How to set up Buska + Apollo
Connect Apollo to Buska
Add your Apollo API key in Buska settings under Integrations. The integration syncs instantly, with no engineering required.
Enable auto-enrichment
Turn on automatic enrichment so every social lead detected by Buska gets Apollo data appended: work email (95% deliverability on verified emails), direct phone, job title, company size, tech stack, and funding stage. Each enrichment uses 1 Apollo credit, and Buska only enriches leads that pass your intent score filter.
Set up sequence routing
Choose which Apollo Sequences social leads should enter based on intent type (active demand, competitor mention, pain expression), score, or platform. Reply rates tend to run meaningfully higher than a cold baseline with proper Buska context.
Build a composite lead score
Combine Buska intent score (0 to 100, social-derived) with Apollo lead score (firmographic + behavioral) for a composite score that filters out both wrong-person leads (right intent, wrong role) and wrong-intent leads (right role, no buying signal).
Close with full context
Your team gets leads with both social intent data (the original post, the keyword match, the platform) and Apollo firmographics (email, phone, company size, tech stack). They know what the prospect said publicly AND exactly how to reach them, which cuts discovery call prep time.
Iterate on enrichment quality
After 2 weeks, review your Apollo enrichment hit rate. It varies by platform: LinkedIn signals enrich more reliably because the LinkedIn URL is included, Reddit signals less so because usernames are pseudonymous. Tune your Apollo credit budget accordingly.
Real use cases with Apollo
Social signal to email outreach
Buska detects a buying signal on Reddit. Apollo enriches the lead with their work email. The lead enters an Apollo Sequence that references their Reddit post in the first line, which tends to get a meaningfully better response than cold outbound because it answers a question they already asked in public.
Account-based social selling
Monitor target accounts' social activity across LinkedIn, Twitter / X, and Reddit. When a decision-maker from a target account posts a buying signal, Apollo provides the direct contact info for immediate outreach while the intent is still fresh.
Lead scoring fusion
Combine Buska's intent score with Apollo's firmographic data for a composite lead score that factors in both buying intent and company fit, filtering out leads that only clear one of the two bars.
Funding-trigger outreach
Apollo flags companies that just closed a Series A or B. Buska then watches those companies for social buying signals (*"rebuilding the stack"*, *"looking for a new CRM"*, *"team is doubling"*). When both signals align, the lead lands in a 'Post-Funding' Apollo Sequence while the budget is still fresh.
Competitor-displacement campaign
Buska detects public competitor frustration (*"tired of paying for [competitor]"*, *"looking for alternative to [competitor]"*). Apollo enriches with work email + tech stack confirmation (yes, they actually use the competitor). The lead enters a 'Competitive Switch' Apollo Sequence with a personalized migration offer.
