Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to link an email address to your apollo.io account.
What email providers does Apollo.io support?
Apollo.io supports integration with major email providers including Gmail, Outlook, and other IMAP-compatible email services. Check Apollo.io's documentation for the complete list of supported providers and any specific requirements for your email service.
Why is my mailbox configuration check failing?
Configuration failures often occur due to incorrect credentials, disabled IMAP access, or two-factor authentication settings. Verify that your email account credentials are correct, that IMAP is enabled in your email provider's security settings, and that you've completed any additional authentication steps required by your email service.
Can I link multiple email addresses to Apollo.io?

How long does it take for email tracking to activate after linking?
Email tracking typically activates immediately after your mailbox configuration is successfully verified. However, it may take a few moments for the integration to fully sync with Apollo.io's servers, so wait a few minutes before sending your first tracked email.
What should I do if the mailbox linking process doesn't complete?
If the process stalls, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page, then restart the linking process. If problems persist, check that your internet connection is stable, verify your email credentials are correct, and consider contacting Apollo.io support for additional troubleshooting assistance.
