Use Import Companies from a Prompt via the API and the MCP

Import Companies from a Prompt isn't tied to the Google Sheets sidebar. Every Derrick enrichment - this one included - is also exposed through the REST API and the MCP server, so you can run it from your CRM, your data pipeline, an AI assistant, or any no-code tool (Zapier, Make, n8n). Same credit cost as the add-on, same data. API access is included from the PLUS plan up.

"This app saved me so much time and effort. Great for anyone looking to build a contact list or network at scale quickly. As a start-up it's been invaluable."

Alex Clark

Director | SaaS GTM Leader

"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."

David Sire

Mortgage Broker at Zero Point Mortgage

"Derrick is a very simple and user-friendly app to enrich your contacts database. Best thing: you can test it for free. And then the price is so low, it's a no brainer."

Etienne Grange

Building a target account list usually means an afternoon in filter menus, tab after tab, copy-pasting rows into a sheet. Derrick removes that: you describe the companies you want in one sentence, "Series A fintech startups in Germany", and it runs the search and writes every matching company into a new tab of your Google Sheet. Name, industry, country, city, website and LinkedIn company URL, one company per row.

Because the target is a sentence, iterating is free: rewrite it, run it again, compare the two lists. From there the account list feeds the rest of the motion, enrich each company with LinkedIn data, find the people who work there, then reach the right roles. 1 credit per company imported, and the free plan gives you 100 credits every month, no card. See the Derrick pricing page.

Stop building company lists by hand

Do I need to install anything to use Import Companies from a Prompt?

Just the Derrick Google Sheets add-on (one click, no API keys, no developer setup). Once installed, Import Companies from a Prompt is one of the workflows available from the Derrick sidebar inside any Sheet. The same feature is also available via REST API and via the Derrick MCP server for Claude / ChatGPT.

Can I use Import Companies from a Prompt on a list of 1,000+ rows?

Yes - Import Companies from a Prompt runs as a batch job inside Google Sheets, with progress tracking and per-row credit accounting. The workflow scales linearly: 10 rows or 10,000 rows, the steps are identical and you can step away while it runs.

Where does the data behind Import Companies from a Prompt come from?

Derrick aggregates 10+ public-data sources (LinkedIn graph, company websites, registry data, web crawl, third-party providers) and runs a multi-source lookup for Import Companies from a Prompt. The first source that returns a confident match wins; if no source is confident enough, the cell is left blank rather than guessed.

Is Import Companies from a Prompt GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Derrick only enriches public data, doesn't store personal records beyond the duration of the lookup, and supports full deletion on request. The Sheets add-on runs inside Google's OAuth-protected environment so your data stays private to your account.

Can I trigger Import Companies from a Prompt automatically when I add a row?

Yes - set up a Google Sheets onEdit trigger (Apps Script, takes 2 minutes) so a new row in column A automatically runs Import Companies from a Prompt into column B. Pair with Zapier / Make / n8n to push CRM contacts directly into the sheet for hands-free enrichment.
