Short answer

How can I track my Apollo.io credits and API status?

Your AI pulls your current credit balance and checks if your API connection is active. This lets you catch low balances or connection errors before they break your automation. You'll see exactly where your limits stand.

Usage tracking

Where your data lands.

The AI directs information based on what it finds in your Apollo.io account.

STATUS

Connection health reports

The AI checks your API status and tells you if the link is active. You get a clear signal on whether your automation can run.

BUDGET

Credit balance alerts

Your agent pulls your remaining search credits. You'll know exactly how much runway you have left for prospecting.

ACTION

Workflow warnings

If credits are low or the API is down, the AI flags the issue. This prevents failed tasks and wasted time.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI identifies the problem but won't buy more credits for you. You handle the actual account upgrades or troubleshooting.

The workflow
