Different starting points. One review-and-save workflow.
Sales teams may have a prospect file. Founders may start with a market question. Marketing teams may follow a public discussion. Six Contact Sources bring candidate people into the same reviewable workflow.
Review before saving
Inspect source results and select the contacts that belong in your working set.
Reusable Contact Lists
Organize selected people in a new or existing Contact List for research, relationship work, or a later campaign.

A few useful answers
Contact Sources FAQ
Which contact sources does OpenComment support?
OpenComment supports Lead Search by position, company, and person location; Apollo; Manual Import from CSV, Excel, or LinkedIn URLs; Keyword Search; Conference Search; and AI Discovery.
Do I need a company's LinkedIn URL for Lead Search?
No. Search by company name and choose the correct match. If no matching company page is found, you can explicitly search profiles mentioning that name while keeping position and location filters. Company-name text matches may include past employers and do not verify current employment.
Does saving a contact start monitoring or a campaign?
No. Saving creates Contact List membership. You choose saved contacts or Contact Lists separately when you author a campaign.
Does Conference Search confirm event attendance?
No. It researches people posting publicly about a conference. A public post is useful context, but it is not confirmation that someone attended or plans to attend.
