Hunter Changelog

What’s new

In Discover’s people finding workflow, you can now reveal as many leads as your current credits allow, even if you don’t have enough credits to reveal the full dataset.

How it works

• If a dataset requires more credits than you have available, we’ll let you reveal the first X leads.
• X is the exact number of credits you can spend at that moment.
• You’ll see a clear prompt letting you either continue with the partial reveal or get more credits (upgrade, or buy an extra credits pack if you’re already on a paid plan).

Why we built this

Previously, being a few credits short could block you from revealing any leads. With partial reveals, you can keep moving and start working with results right away.

Example

If you have 50 credits left and your current results would require 943 credits to reveal, you can reveal the first 50 leads now, and decide later whether to add more credits to unlock the rest.

We’ve shipped a free Company Logo API, so you can fetch company logos instantly from a domain — without adding another provider, signup flow, or auth step.

What’s new

• A free endpoint to retrieve a company logo from any domain
• Simple format: https://logo.hunter.io/{domain}
• Works with a standard GET request and returns the logo URL
• 16M+ company logos available
• No signup, no API key, no setup

Why it matters

This makes it easier to:

• enrich company lists in CRMs and internal tools without extra work
• make onboarding screens and dashboards feel more polished by default
• generate decks, reports, and exports with consistent branding
• ship faster by removing “logo fetching” as a project

We’ve improved the source details shown for every email in Hunter, so it’s easier to understand where an email comes from and use your data with more confidence.

What’s new

• Clearer source labels on every email:
  • Email: the email address is visible on the page
  • Mention: the page mentions the person (name + company)
  • Removed: the email/source used to be visible, but it’s no longer available now
• Source URLs are now shown, including URLs for sources that were later removed.

Why it matters

This makes it easier to:

• validate where data comes from
• run outreach more confidently while respecting privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, CAN-SPAM)
• reduce “weird surprises” like spam reports and unnecessary unsubscribes

We’ve added new automations in Hunter Campaigns that automatically handle unsubscribe requests and out-of-office replies, so you can keep your outreach cleaner and focus on real conversations.

Automatic unsubscribe and out-of-office detection

Hunter now automatically detects and processes unsubscribe requests and out-of-office replies, saving you time and keeping your campaigns cleaner.

• Messages containing “unsubscribe” within the first 100 characters are automatically added to the Unsubscriptions section.
• Common out-of-office phrases (such as “out of the office,” “away from my desk,” “currently unavailable,” “on vacation,” or “I will respond upon my return”) are also recognized.
• These emails are visible directly in your Inbox, giving you the option to manually pause scheduled follow-ups or keep them as they are.

This automation helps you stay compliant, avoid follow-ups to unavailable contacts, and maintain a strong sender reputation.

Why this matters

These improvements save you time by automatically handling unsubscribes and out-of-office replies.

This update is now live for all Hunter Campaigns users, and you’ll see the automatic detection directly in your Campaign Editor and Inbox.

Email Finder API — LinkedIn handle support

The Email Finder API now supports LinkedIn handles.

You can now find a person’s professional email by simply providing their LinkedIn handle to the endpoint. 

Example request:

New API Endpoints

We’ve also recently expanded our API with two new endpoints:

• Enrichment: Retrieve all the information we have about a person, a company, or both, in a single request.
• Discover: Find companies based on different filters like location, industry, keywords, technologies, and more.

These new endpoints give you more flexibility and depth when building your workflows and integrations.

Example: combine endpoints to build contact lists

You can use the new Discover endpoint together with Domain Search and Enrichment to build complete, targeted lead lists. For example:

1. Discover companies that match your criteria (e.g., industry, location, keywords, technologies).
2. Use the Domain Search API on each discovered domain to find email addresses of key contacts.
3. Optionally, use the Enrichment API to add detailed company or person information to those contacts.

This flow allows you to go from a broad company search to fully enriched contact data in just a few API calls.

Example in Javascript:

For more details, check out the API documentation.

If you have any questions or need help optimizing your integration, our team is here to help.

We’ve added two major updates: a new multi-domain people finder in Discover (with powerful filters, now also in Leads) and refreshed Domain Search filters. More control, more precision, less time wasted

1. Multi-Domain People Finding

We’ve replaced the old bulk email-finding workflow in Discover with a smarter Find People sidebar, available right after filtering companies in Discover.

This allows you to search for people working at those companies using multiple filters, making it easy to find and select the right contacts for your cold outreach.

Available filters (7 total):

• Job title (new): target specific roles and professions.
• Verification status (new): filter by Valid, Accept All, or Unknown emails.
• Saved leads (new): hide people you’ve already saved, so you only see new opportunities.
• Department: focus on teams like Marketing, Sales, HR, IT, and more.
• Contact details: only show people with extra details (full name, phone, or position).
• People per company (new): choose all people, only decision makers, or set a limit per company.
• Location: refine by city, country, continent, or economic area.

Other improvements:

• Use tabs to quickly filter for all people, decision-makers, or generic emails for a first preliminary selection.
• All revealed contacts are automatically saved as leads to ensure they are stored in your Leads section for easy access.

💡 Recommended use case

You can now create a list of companies you’re interested in and filter the people results by new variables such as job title, location, and verification status. This makes it much easier to pinpoint decision makers or specific roles across multiple organizations.

Also available in Leads:

If you have a list of companies already saved in the Leads section, you can now use the same people-finding filters there. This makes it easy to upload a company list and quickly identify decision makers or specific professions across multiple organizations.

2. Domain Search filters

We’ve refreshed the Domain Search layout and expanded filtering options to give you more control:

• Verification status (new): filter emails by Valid, Accept All, or Unknown.
• Location (new): target people in specific offices or regions.
• Saved leads (new): exclude already saved contacts.
• Job title & Verification status: now highlighted by default for quicker scanning.
• Department: filter by single or multiple departments.
• Type: choose between personal or generic emails.
• Show only results with: phone number, position, or full name.

💡 Recommended use case

When finding emails for a big company that has offices in different locations, you can now filter employees by location and verification status. This lets you quickly narrow results to the right contacts in the specific office you care about, something that wasn’t possible before.

These two updates make it easier to move from companies to the right people — whether you’re working in Discover, Domain Search, or directly from your Leads.

We’ve just made writing cold emails a whole lot easier. The AI Writing Assistant is now available in Hunter Campaigns for all paying users.

This new tool helps you:

• Write faster – Generate ready-to-send cold emails in seconds.
• Stay relevant – AI tailors your message to your audience and campaign goals.
• Personalize at scale – Emails update automatically with the latest recipient data before sending.

How It Works

1. Create a new email campaign in Campaigns
2. Toggle on the AI Writing Assistant.
3. Fill in details about your audience, business, and campaign goals.
4. Let AI create a personalized, high-quality draft for you.

We’ve launched several improvements to make your experience with Hunter more flexible, transparent, and efficient:

Unified Credit System

We’ve simplified how credits work across Hunter: you can view this in our updated Pricing page.

There’s now one single credit balance for all actions — whether you’re:

• Finding emails (Email Finder, Domain Search, Bulk tools)
• Verifying emails (Email Verifier, Bulk Verifier)
• Using the API

This removes the need to manage separate Search and Verification credits — giving you more flexibility in how you use your plan.

How credits are counted:

• 1 credit = 1 email found via Domain Search, Email Finder, or Bulk Email Finder
• 1 credit = up to 10 emails found via Bulk Domain Search
• 0.5 credit = 1 email verified via Email Verifier or Bulk Email Verifier.
  • No credits are used for unknown or disposable results

Important:

If you registered your account or subscribed to a plan before July 16, the unified credit system will be automatically applied on your next renewal. You don’t need to make any changes.

New: Purchase Extra Credit Packs

You can now manually purchase credit packs directly from your Subscription section — available with any All-in-one outreach platform plan.

• No more automatic overages or surprises
• Credit packs are valid for 3 months
• Buy only what you need, when you need it

Perfect for scaling outreach without upgrading your plan.

Leads Verified Automatically (At No Cost)

All emails found via Hunter and saved in the Leads section are now automatically re-verified once per month — for free.

This ensures your contact lists stay accurate over time, without using any of your credits.
