Look Up a Person by Email with Clearbit

Look up a person using an email address with Clearbit.

Setup

In Open Flow, create a secret Variable containing a Clearbit API key with Person API access and bind it to Auth Token in Look up the person. Run with an email address. In n8n, connect a Clearbit API credential and enter an email in Clearbit. Run one format for each lookup.

Behavior

A manual run requests person enrichment for one email and returns the service response without filtering. If the service returns an array, Open Flow returns the complete array and n8n emits its elements as individual items. An empty HTTP 202 response produces a null Open Flow response; it is not a completed person record. Request failures, including a not-found response, stop the workflow. Open Flow applies a 30-second HTTP timeout and a 4 MiB response limit.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

Open Flow accepts the email as a run input and calls the same Person API endpoint using native HTTP.
