title: find-email skill
description: The looot plugin's find-email command finds and verifies the work email of one person, or every person in a lead list.
sidebar:
  label: Find an email
---

`find-email` only loads when you run its command, `/looot:find-email` in Claude Code, with an
argument: a name and a domain, a LinkedIn URL, or a file of leads.

## What it does

1. If the looot tools are missing or answer 401, it follows the [setup skill](/plugin/skills/setup)
   first.
2. It reads the input. For one person it needs `first_name` and `last_name` (or `name`) plus
   `domain`, or a `linkedin_url`. For a file, it reads every row and maps its columns to those
   names, asking the user only for what's missing.
3. It follows "Enrich a lead list" in the [recipes skill](/plugin/skills/recipes): quote the
   total, check [`balance`](/mcp-tools/balance), run `job:people.email.find` with fallback, then
   `job:people.email.verify` on each address found.
4. It answers with a table: person, email, verification status (`valid`, `invalid`,
   `catch_all`, `risky` or `unknown`), the provider that answered ([`servedProviderId`](/concepts/served-provider)), and the
   cost (`actualCost`). Pattern guesses (`verdict: "guessed"`) are marked. It ends with the total
   spent.

## Worked example

**Command:** `/looot:find-email Jane Doe example.com`

```json
{
  "tool": "run",
  "input": {
    "endpointId": "job:people.email.find",
    "input": {"first_name": "Jane", "last_name": "Doe", "domain": "example.com"},
    "idempotencyKey": "find-email-jane-doe-example",
    "fallback": {"maxAttempts": 3, "maxCostUsd": 0.1}
  }
}
```

```json
{
  "tool": "run",
  "input": {
    "endpointId": "job:people.email.verify",
    "input": {"email": "jane.doe@example.com"},
    "idempotencyKey": "verify-jane-doe-example",
    "fallback": true
  }
}
```

**Agent's answer:**

| Person | Email | Status | Provider | Cost |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Jane Doe | jane.doe@example.com | valid | [`servedProviderId`] | $0.0245 |

"Total spent: $0.0245."

For a list of people, the same flow runs once per row and the table gets one row
each. See [recipes](/plugin/skills/recipes) for the full lead-enrichment steps and
[troubleshooting](/plugin/skills/troubleshooting) if a row comes back [`needs_input`](/errors/job-refusals#needs_input) or `miss`.
