Apollo Webhooks & Events

Overview

Build event-driven integrations with Apollo.io. Apollo does not have a native webhook system like Stripe — instead, you build real-time sync by polling the API for changes or using third-party webhook platforms (Zapier, Pipedream, Make) that trigger on Apollo events. This skill covers both approaches plus the Contact Stages and Tasks APIs for workflow automation.

Prerequisites

• Apollo account with master API key
• Node.js 18+ with Express
• For polling: a scheduler (cron, Cloud Scheduler, BullMQ)
• For webhook platforms: Zapier/Pipedream/Make account

Instructions

Step 1: Poll for Contact Changes

Since Apollo lacks native webhooks, poll the Contacts Search API for recently updated records.

// src/sync/contact-poller.ts
import axios from 'axios';

const client = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-api-key': process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY! },
});

interface SyncState {
  lastSyncAt: string;  // ISO timestamp
}

export async function pollContactChanges(state: SyncState) {
  const { data } = await client.post('/contacts/search', {
    sort_by_field: 'contact_updated_at',
    sort_ascending: false,
    : ,
  });

   lastSync =  (state.);
   newChanges = data..(
      (c.) > lastSync,
  );

   (newChanges. > ) {
    .();
     ( contact  newChanges) {
       (contact);
    }
    state. =  ().();
  }

   newChanges;
}

  () {
  .();
  
}
