Find employees at a company by domain, with optional filters for seniority and department. Perfect for finding decision-makers and building targeted outreach lists.

Employee Search Formula​

Formula Structure​

=SEARCH_EMPLOYEES(domain, [limit], [showHeader], [seniority], [department], [ignore_cache])

Parameters​

  • domain (required): Company domain to search (e.g., "intercom.com")
  • limit (optional): Maximum number of employees to return. Default is 10.
  • showHeader (optional): TRUE to include a header row. Use FALSE for single result insertion without headers.
