Abstract
#264 most-usedInstant data enrichment APIs for every agent
Abstract (abstractapi.com) is a suite of lightweight REST APIs that give your agents instant access to data enrichment across email validation, IP geolocation, phone number lookup, company data, public holidays, VAT and IBAN validation, exchange rates, and more. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can verify contact data before it enters your CRM, enrich leads with live company intelligence, detect fraudulent sign-ups by IP, validate tax numbers before invoicing, and surface public holiday calendars for any country — all without writing a single API integration yourself.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual work of validating emails, looking up company data, checking VAT numbers, building holiday calendars, and verifying bank details — tasks that consume hours across sales, finance, HR, and operations every week.
What your Abstract agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Abstract × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Inbound lead enriched and scored before it reaches the rep
When a prospect submits a demo request form, the agent validates their email address, enriches their company domain to pull firmographic data, and scores the lead against the ICP criteria. High-fit leads land in HubSpot with a pre-populated company profile, deal stage, and rep assignment — all within about a minute of form submission.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your agent runs for you
