Name Enrichment

ChatGPT uses name enrichment to produce personalisation suggestions for outreach lists. Run enrichment on a contact list, then ask for a structured output with recommended salutations and tone adjustments per contact. The formatted result integrates directly into email sequence setup or CRM personalisation fields.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Name Enrichment tool:

  1. Provide a list of contact names
  2. Ask: "Use name-enrichment to enrich these names and infer gender and origin"
  3. ChatGPT returns enrichment data for each name
  4. Request: "For each contact, suggest the most appropriate salutation and any tone adjustment for outreach"

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Name Enrichment tool
I am sending cold outreach to: Akira Tanaka, Fatima Al-Rashid, James O'Brien, and Chen Wei. Use name-enrichment to infer gender and probable origin for each. Suggest an appropriate salutation for a formal B2B email and flag any cultural considerations.

Tips

  • Ask for a table format with name, gender signal, origin signal, and recommended salutation for easy review
  • Flag names with low confidence for manual review before using in an automated sequence
  • Ask ChatGPT to note which cultures strongly prefer formal versus first-name address for campaign calibration
