B) Sales manager or director
C) Marketing / demand gen
D) Rev ops / sales ops
E) Developer / engineer
F) Admin configuring ZoomInfo
What are you trying to accomplish?
A) Find and export prospect lists
B) Enrich existing CRM records
C) Set up buyer intent alerts
D) Build outbound sequences (Engage)
E) Configure advertising audiences

G) Integrate ZoomInfo with CRM or other tools
H) Use the API programmatically
I) Something else — describe it
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the question is about strategy rather than ZoomInfo-specific configuration, hand off to the appropriate skill:
General enrichment strategy → /sales-enrich
Buying intent interpretation → /sales-intent
Multi-channel cadence design → /sales-cadence
Account mapping strategy → /sales-account-map
CRM data quality strategy → /sales-data-hygiene
B2B advertising strategy → /sales-b2b-advertising
Call coaching methodology → /sales-call-review
Lead routing rules → /sales-lead-routing
Prospect list strategy →
/sales-prospect-list
Tool integrations → /sales-integration
If the question is ZoomInfo-specific, answer directly using the reference below.
Step 3 — ZoomInfo platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for detailed module documentation, pricing, integrations, and data model.
You no longer need the platform guide details — focus on the user's specific situation.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Based on the user's goal, provide step-by-step instructions:
For prospecting (finding new leads)
Define your ICP using Advanced Search filters (industry, employee count, revenue, technology)
Layer intent signals — filter for companies showing intent on your topics
Use Org Charts to identify the buying committee (economic buyer, champion, technical evaluator)
Export to CRM or push directly to Engage/Salesloft/Outreach sequences
Set up Saved Searches with alerts for new matches
For enrichment
Identify records to enrich (new leads, stale contacts, incomplete accounts)
Choose enrichment method: manual (in-platform), bulk (CSV upload), auto (rules-based), or API
Map enrichment fields to CRM fields before running bulk operations
Monitor credit usage — enrichment consumes credits per record
Set up auto-enrich rules for ongoing data freshness
For intent-based selling
Configure your intent topics in ZoomInfo admin (align with your product's problem spaces)
Create a Saved Search filtered by intent spike + your ICP criteria
Set up Slack/email alerts for target account intent spikes
Use Recommended Contacts to find the right people at spiking accounts
Trigger Engage sequences or push to your sales engagement platform
For advertising (MarketingOS)
Build audience segments using firmographic + intent + technographic filters
Create campaigns targeting those audiences across display, LinkedIn, Facebook
Set up WebSights to track which target accounts visit your site after seeing ads
Retarget engaged visitors with bottom-of-funnel creative
Measure with ZoomInfo attribution — which accounts progressed after ad exposure
For data orchestration (OperationsOS)
Audit current CRM data quality — field completeness, duplicate rate, decay rate
Set up matching rules to prevent future duplicates
Configure normalization rules for job titles, industries, company names
Build enrichment workflows: new record → match → enrich → route
Schedule recurring data hygiene jobs (monthly dedup, quarterly refresh)
Gotchas
Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.
Intent topics are subscription-dependent — you only receive intent signals for topics configured in your ZoomInfo account. If a user asks about intent data they're not seeing, check their topic configuration first — the API won't return topics that aren't in their subscription.
Credit system is complex — different actions consume different credit amounts (Search and Lookup are free; Enrich spends 1 bulk credit per new record; Research/Account-summary spend AI action credits). Bulk operations can burn through credits fast. Rate-limit headers are NOT returned by the current GTM API — check the Usage API (GET /gtm/data/v1/users/current/usage) before large operations rather than relying on response headers.
OAuth access tokens are short-lived — the CURRENT GTM API uses OAuth 2.0 (Client Credentials / Auth Code+PKCE / Refresh Token) with a short-lived bearer token (~1000 s in ZoomInfo's documented example), NOT the legacy PKI/JWT /authenticate 60-minute token. API integrations MUST handle token refresh; a common failure mode is hardcoding a token and having it silently expire. Implement auto-refresh. (The legacy Enterprise API's PKI/JWT 60-min token still exists at api-docs.zoominfo.com but is labeled "Legacy".)
Copilot is Elite-only — AI features (next-best-action, deal predictions, auto-research) require the Elite plan (~$39,995/yr). Don't recommend Copilot features to users who may be on Professional or Advanced plans.
WebSights identifies companies, not individuals — IP-to-company matching reveals the organization, not the specific person. Users sometimes expect individual visitor identification. Pair WebSights with Contact Search to find the right people at identified companies.

Examples
Example 1: Setting up intent-based prospecting
User says: "I want to find companies showing buying intent for cybersecurity solutions and get the right contacts there"
Skill does: Walks through configuring intent topics (endpoint security, SIEM, zero trust, etc.), building a Saved Search with ICP filters + intent spike, using Recommended Contacts to find security decision-makers, and setting up Slack alerts for new spikes.
Result: User has an intent-triggered prospecting workflow that surfaces in-market accounts with the right contacts.
Example 2: Bulk CRM enrichment
User says: "We have 15,000 contacts in Salesforce with missing phone numbers and stale job titles. How do I clean this up in ZoomInfo?"
Skill does: Recommends OperationsOS data orchestration approach — export stale records, run bulk enrichment via API or in-platform, map fields back to Salesforce, set up auto-enrich rules for ongoing freshness. Warns about credit consumption at scale.
Result: User has a plan to refresh 15K records and prevent future data decay.
Example 3: API integration for custom enrichment
User says: "I'm building a lead scoring system and need to pull ZoomInfo data via API whenever a new lead comes in"
Skill does: Provides API authentication setup (OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials → bearer token from /gtm/oauth/v1/token), shows the Enrich Contacts endpoint (POST /gtm/data/v1/contacts/enrich) with request/response format, explains credit implications, recommends implementing token-refresh logic and 429 backoff handling.
Result: User has working API integration code for real-time lead enrichment.
Troubleshooting
Intent data not showing for target accounts
Symptom: User configured intent topics but isn't seeing signals for accounts they expect
Cause: Intent topics must match ZoomInfo's taxonomy exactly. Also, small companies may not generate enough web activity to trigger intent signals.
Solution: Review intent topic configuration in ZoomInfo admin. Check that topics align with ZoomInfo's available taxonomy (4,000+ topics). For small companies, use Scoops and News alerts as supplementary buying signals instead of relying solely on intent.
API returns 401 after working initially
Symptom: API calls that were working suddenly return 401 Unauthorized
Cause: OAuth access token expired (short-lived — ~1000 s in ZoomInfo's documented example; the legacy PKI/JWT token lasted 60 min)
Solution: Implement token-refresh logic. On the current GTM API, re-request a token from POST /gtm/oauth/v1/token (Client Credentials) or use the Refresh Token flow before expires_in elapses. For server-to-server automation, use the Client Credentials flow with the client_id/client_secret from an app registered at developer.zoominfo.com. 401 is non-retryable — re-auth and retry once.
Enrichment returning incomplete data
Symptom: Bulk enrichment returns records with missing fields (no phone, no email)
Cause: ZoomInfo's coverage varies by contact — not every person has a verified direct dial or email. Also, some fields are plan-gated.
Solution: Check your plan's data access level. For missing contacts, use waterfall enrichment (ZoomInfo → Apollo → Lusha) via /sales-enrich. For missing company data, try the Company Enrich endpoint with the company's domain as the identifier (higher match rate than company name).
