To get the Contact ID for updating contacts in Apollo, use the Find Contact by ID action first. [1]
However, you'll need to look up the contact using other identifiers like email, name, or company details. Run the Enrich Person action with the contact's email address or other available information—this will return the Apollo Contact ID you need.
Once you have the Contact ID from that enrichment, map it to the "Contact ID" field in your Update Contact action.
You're right—"Find Contact by ID" requires the ID you're trying to get. Instead, use Enrich Person with identifiers you already have (email, name, or company details). [1]
Steps:
1.
Add the Enrich Person action
2.
Map your existing data: email address, first name, last name, or company domain
3.
Run it—this returns the Apollo Contact ID
4.
Map that Contact ID to your Update Contact action [2]
Email address is the most reliable identifier if you have it.

No, you don't need to update a contact in Apollo before adding them to a sequence. However, the contact must already exist in Apollo.io to be added to a sequence. [1]
Best practice: Before adding contacts to a sequence, check if they already exist in Apollo using the Enrich Person action with their email address. This ensures you're not creating duplicates and confirms the contact is in your Apollo database. [2]
If the contact doesn't exist yet, you'll need to create them in Apollo first before adding them to a sequence.
