Enrichment turns a quick capture into a contact you can actually follow up with. It runs behind the Universal Scanner and on any contact you choose to enrich.

What you get back

Enrichment looks for the details that were not on the badge or the card:
  • Verified business email
  • Phone numbers, cell and office, where available
  • Job title and company details
  • Address and location
  • LinkedIn profile
  • Profile photo

Why a waterfall

No single source of business data covers everyone. A tool built on one database returns nothing whenever that database happens to miss the person in front of you. Wave Connect checks multiple independent data sources in sequence and cross-checks what they return. If one source has no record, the next one runs, and the search stops as soon as a verified email and phone number are found. More captures come back as complete contacts, and you spend less time filling gaps by hand.

When enrichment runs

  • Event badge scans: automatically, on every scan. A badge usually shows only a name and a company, so the full search runs.
  • QR scans: automatically. Most digital business card and LinkedIn codes already carry contact details, so the search is shorter.
  • Paper business cards and lead form contacts: automatically while Auto-enrich new contacts is on, which it is by default. If you turn it off under Settings → Billing, open the contact and tap Enrich to enrich it on request.

Reviewing enriched details

Every field filled in by enrichment is marked Enriched. Hover over or tap the mark to see whether the value is Verified, confirmed by multiple sources, or unconfirmed and worth double-checking.

What it costs

Enrichment is paid for in credits. Every enrichment costs 1 credit: a lead form submission, a paper business card scan, a contact QR code, or a manual Enrich on any contact. An event badge scan costs 4 credits, because a badge usually shows only a name and a company, so Wave Connect runs the deep search for the email, phone number, job title, and LinkedIn profile. Wave Connect recognizes badges automatically, so a badge scanned as a business card is charged as a badge scan. The cost is always shown on the Enrich button before you click it. You are never charged when enrichment cannot find verified details, and retrying after an error is free. After a successful enrichment, Enrich again costs 1 credit whatever the source, and only when it finds new details. Duplicates never use a credit. See Credits and Usage for prices and how to buy more.

Where the data comes from

Enrichment uses licensed business data sources and publicly available professional information. It returns business contact details, the same kind of information printed on a business card. Your leads are visible only to your own team.
