Build an account's buying committee without wasting Apollo credits

Build me an app where sales reps assemble the full buying committee at a target account without accidentally spending Apollo credits. It runs on Apollo, with Slack Bot for sharing. The organising idea is that searching is free and enriching costs money, so the app should make that split obvious in the interface instead of hiding it.

The main screen starts with a single input where a rep pastes or types a company domain. Resolve that domain to an account using Apollo Search Accounts and show an account header with the company name, domain and account stage. Everything below the header is scoped to that one account.

Left panel, titled something like Who we already have. Use Apollo Search Contacts scoped to the resolved account. Group the rows by persona, derived from the saved title filters described below, and by contact stage. Load the stage list with Apollo List Contact Stages so stages render as human labels rather than raw IDs.

Right panel, titled something like Net new at this company. Use Apollo People Search filtered to the company domain and the saved target titles. This is the important one: People Search does not consume credits and deliberately returns no email addresses and no phone numbers. Label the panel so a rep understands that immediately, and render the contact detail columns as not yet pulled rather than leaving them blank as though something broke. Any person in this panel who already matches somebody in the left panel should be visibly marked or filtered out, so a rep never pays to enrich a contact the team already owns.

Selection and the credit meter. Every net new row gets a checkbox. A persistent counter, always visible while scrolling, shows how many people are selected and how many credits confirming is about to spend, updating live as boxes are ticked. Nothing is enriched while browsing or selecting. Enrichment happens only on an explicit confirm, and the confirm dialog restates the credit count one more time before proceeding. Include a configurable cap on how many people a single confirmation may enrich, so a mis-click cannot fire off a huge batch.

On confirm, run Apollo People Enrichment against only the ticked rows. Bulk People Enrichment accepts up to 10 people per request, so chunk the selection and show progress as the chunks complete. Then file the results with Apollo Bulk Create Contacts, which has built in deduplication and accepts up to 100 contacts per request. Bulk Create Contacts returns newly created and existing contacts separately, so use that response to move rows into the left panel and to tell the rep how many were genuinely new versus already in the CRM. Report what enrichment actually returned, including anyone who came back with no usable contact detail, so every credit spent is accounted for.

Optional sequence step. After a successful save, let the rep choose a sequence from Apollo Search Sequences and push the newly saved contacts into it with Apollo Add Contacts to Sequence. Both of those operations require an Apollo master API key, so detect that condition and disable the sequence step with a short explanation rather than letting it fail when a scoped key is in use.

Persona coverage matrix. Above the two panels, per account, show a matrix with one row per persona: economic buyer, champion, technical evaluator, plus any personas the team defines. For each persona show how many people we already have and how many net new candidates are available, with a clear gap marker wherever we have nobody at all. Coverage is the real point of this app, so the matrix should be the first thing a rep's eye lands on.

Saved persona definitions. Let the team define each persona as a set of target job titles and seniorities and save them, so the whole team prospects the same way. The saved definitions drive both the People Search filters on the right and the grouping on the left. Persist them at the workspace level rather than per user, and let any rep edit them.

Sharing. A share button posts the finished committee for the account into a deal channel using Slack Bot Send a Message, with the channel picker populated from Slack Bot List Channels. The message should list the committee grouped by persona, call out the gaps explicitly, and note how many credits were spent building it.

General notes. Reps work through account after account, so keep the layout dense but calm and remember the last few accounts each rep opened so they can jump back quickly. Apollo's own interface is widely criticised for getting cluttered at scale, so resist cramming everything on screen and let the two panel layout plus the coverage matrix carry the work.
