The Lusha Connect connector for Workato lets you access Lusha's Prospecting API directly from your Workato recipes. This article covers the two-step prospecting workflow: searching for contacts and enriching them with full contact data.
You'll need a Lusha API key and an active Workato account to get started. Your API key is available at dashboard.lusha.com/enrich/api (Admins and Managers only).
How to set up the Lusha Connect connector
Log in to Workato.
Visit the Workato Community Library Lusha Connect page and click Install.
Click Create Recipe and set your trigger (e.g., a new lead added in your CRM).
Add Lusha Connect as an action step and enter your API key when prompted.
Configure fields by mapping your Workato data to the Lusha input parameters.

Tips
Use new_contact_ids to only reveal unseen contacts and avoid double-spending credits
Apply exclusion filters to refine results and reduce unnecessary API calls
Use Workato's dynamic fields to pass data like email addresses directly into the connector
Monitor your Lusha credit usage regularly - each enrichment call consumes credits
