The more you know about an account, the more likely you are to retain their business. That's the idea behind the new CRM app, Data enrichment powered by Crunchbase. We've partnered with Crunchbase to incorporate their incomparable data reserves with our CRM. Read on to learn about how you can harness this power for your team! ⚡️

 

 

How it works

Set up

If you're new to monday CRM, you don't need to do anything to set up CRM Data enrichment. The CRM Data Enrichment app will be active on your Accounts board when you create it.

If you've been using monday CRM for a while (prior to December 2023) and your Account board is already established, jump ahead to the "Instructions for existing accounts" section to learn more about how to access this app.

 

Powered by Crunchbase

monday CRM and Crunchbase have partnered to deliver best-in-class data for your team. Our partnership gives you the power to research less and sell more.

Note: You do not need a Crunchbase account to use this app.

 

 

Two ways to set it up

1. Integration

The CRM Data enrichment app relies on an integration recipe that is automatically set up when your Accounts board is created. You can take a look at the integration by visiting the Automations center and opening the second tab, Board automations:

Each run will use one (1) action. You can take a look at the integration by visiting the Automations center and opening the second tab, Board automations.

 

2. Dropdown menu

You can also use the enrichment feature by manually selecting a company from the dropdown menu when creating a new item on your board.

 

 

How to use the integration

This app is simple to use. If you'd like to trigger enrichment using the integration recipe, all you need to do is add the company's domain. The app will then pull in data from Crunchbase.

Note: For data enrichment to work via integration, you must have a domain column (link column) on your Accounts board.

 

Account domain

The integration pulls in data from Crunchbase using the company's domain. You must input a valid company URL to pull in the correct data. For example, if you input "https://www.monday.com", you'll learn all about us! But if you just enter "monday.com" or "www.nonday.com", you won't find what you're looking for.

 

What information does Crunchbase supply?

Once a company is selected from the dropdown menu, the following columns will be populated with Crunchbase data:

  • Description
  • # of employees
  • Industry
  • Headquarters location
  • Company profile

How to use the dropdown menu

This app is simple to use. You don't need anything other than the company's name!

 

Company name

This app pulls in data from Crunchbase using the company's name. You must input an identified company to pull in the correct data. For example, if you input "monday", a few options will generate in the dropdown. Select the correct company from the list to trigger enrichment. Then, you'll learn all about us!

Toggle "Accounts" to "Off" to deactivate enrichment on your account.

 

 

Restricting access

1. For the integration

At the moment, there isn't a way to restrict permission to certain groups. However, a board owner can lock the domain column to restrict users from triggering enrichment. 

 

2. For the dropdown menu

At the moment, there isn't a way to restrict permission to certain groups with this option either. However, board owners can limit item creation. As a result, other team members will not be able to manually enrich an item.

 

 

Limitations

Data enrichment, via both the integration and the dropdown menu, can only be used on your CRM Account's board.

When using the integration:

  • Each run will use one (1) action.
  • The app requires an exact match. If there's a typo or the domain is incorrect, the app will not pull any information in from Crunchbase.
  • The app will only enrich empty columns. The app does not overwrite data. For example, if you or a team member wrote "10" in the "No.of employees" column, when you enter the domain, the "No. of employees" column will not update.
  • If a column is hidden or deleted, the app will not write data into that column.
  • This app has a lifetime limitation; you can only enrich the data for 1,000 items. So use your power wisely! Only successful runs will count towards this limitation. 

When using the dropdown menu:

  • You will only see the company options in the dropdown when you create a new item on the board. You can't apply enrichment to items that have already been created, and you can't apply enrichment to items created from a form.
  • The app requires an exact match. If you input a company that is not listed in Crunchbase by choosing "+ Add Account", the app will not pull any information in from Crunchbase.
  • This app has a lifetime limitation; you can only enrich the data for 1,000 items. So use your power wisely! Only successful runs will count towards this limitation.
