How to Efficiently View and Enrich Leads in Your People Lookup

Kaylin M. · 2025-10-15 20:08:11.606296+00

Is there now way to add rows instead of columns? I am doing a people look up against a list of accounts and trying to find the right decision makers. Some return a large cohort of people that match our criteria but I have to go 1x1 to expand the people info in the cell details pop up and then add a new column. So for 18 people as seen here, I want to see their First Name, last name, title and LinkedIn URL. That’s 4 fields per person which means i’m looking at adding 72 additional columns. No thank you?! Anyone have any insight on how best to view potential people/ leads and only keep the most relevant ones to then enrich and action further?

Yes, you can avoid adding many columns by using the Send row for each item in a list action. This turns each person in a cell's list into their own row in a new table, effectively flattening the data.
This way, each person (with their first name, last name, title, LinkedIn URL, etc.) becomes a separate row, making it easier to view and manage without bloating your original table with columns.
Want to try setting this up, or need help finding the option? [1] [2]

you’re right adding columns for each person’s data gets messy fast. The best way is to send the “Find People” results to a linked table instead of expanding them inline. That way, each person becomes their own row with first name, last name, title, and LinkedIn URL — much easier to filter and enrich only the relevant ones. I can show you how to set that up if you want!

To set this up:
1.
Run your "Find People" search and import results into a new table.
2.
Use the "write to table" feature to send each person from the list to a linked table.
3.
Each person will become a separate row with their first name, last name, title, and LinkedIn URL.
4.
This keeps your data clean and makes it easy to filter and enrich only the relevant leads.
Let me know if you'd like a step-by-step walkthrough. [1]

To use write to table and send each person from a "Find People" list as a separate row:
1.
In your table, click Actions → Send table data.
2.
Choose Send row for each item in a list.
3.
Select the destination table (create one if needed).
4.
Map the person’s data (first name, last name, title, LinkedIn URL) to the right columns.
This turns each person in the list into their own row, so you can filter and enrich them easily. [1] [2]

Exactly! You found it - Actions → Exports → Send table data. [1]
That's the updated location for our "write to table" feature. From there you'll select "Send row for each item in a list" to turn each person into their own row.
