With first name, last name, phone, and company name, here's the recommended enrichment order:
Step 1: Use Work Email Waterfall enrichment with:
Full Name + Company Name as inputs
This will find work emails using multiple providers [1]
Step 2: Once you have the email, use People Data Labs or Wiza to find the professional profile URL:
Input the email address you found
Both can return social profile URLs when given an email [2] [3]
Alternative approach: If you need the professional profile URL first, you can try enriching with Full Name + Company Name directly through providers like Wiza or Surfe, which can find both emails and profile URLs simultaneously
The email waterfall approach typically has better match rates since it uses multiple providers in sequence.

should I attempt to get the company domain in its own enrichment before the work email waterfall

Yes, getting the company domain first is recommended. The Work Email Waterfall requires Company Domain as the primary input for best results. [1]
Since you only have the company name, use the "Find Domain from Company Name" enrichment with Google first. [2] This will give you the company domain, which you can then use as the primary input for the Work Email Waterfall along with Full Name + Company Name as fallback. [3]
This approach maximizes your email match rates since Company Domain is the most critical input for email waterfalls.

Yes, that's a solid approach! Using Claygent to find the company domain first, then Findymail for the email works well.
Step 1: Use Claygent to research and extract the company domain from the company name
Step 2: Use Findymail's "Find Work Email" action with:
- Full Name (required input)
- Company Domain from Step 1 (required input) [1]
This gives you the work email as output. Findymail requires both the full name and company domain to find emails effectively. [2]
