Search prospects

Search prospects

Returns Outreach prospects that match filters such as name, account, owner or stage, with their emails, title and engagement counts.

Over the API, filter with query parameters such as filter[firstName]=Sally or filter[account][id]=1, and page with page[limit] (at most 1,000). On the MCP server, filter_schema_fetch returns the filters each record type supports, and prospect_search_by_external_id finds a prospect by its id in your CRM.
