USE CASE:

Noticing when something changes at a target account

Everything below is about noticing when something changes at a target account, and about which change detection method holds up on a list rather than one record. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for this kind of work, and Company Change-Event Feed is the one aimed at change detection.

What is actually going wrong

Enrichment gives you a snapshot. What sells is the difference between two snapshots. A company that added forty people since March is a different conversation from one that has held at 200 for three years. A single point in time cannot tell those apart. Almost every enrichment setup throws away the previous value.

Traditional Search Tools

  • Your CRM's field history. Salesforce tracks field changes and most people never look. It is free, it is already on, and it only knows about fields your own team edits.
  • A warehouse snapshot table. If you have a data team, an append only snapshot answers this permanently and costs almost nothing to store.
  • Keep last quarter's export. Export the fields you care about, keep the file, diff it against the next one. It works, and it takes ten minutes per quarter.
