Leaving out companies and people

Exclusions apply to every lane. Excluded companies and people are left out before anything is bought, so they never use contacts from your plan.

Companies

By website domain or company LinkedIn page: current customers, competitors, partners, your own company.

People

By email, email hash or LinkedIn profile: contacts already in your CRM, people who opted out with you.

How it works

Exclusions are applied when an export builds its audience, before anything is paid for.
If someone still comes back, for example under a different email, they’re dropped before they’re written or counted. We keep that person’s other email hashes too, so they’re left out up front next time.
Lane counts and “available now” leave exclusions out from each lane’s next check. To update counts straight away, run POST /api/v1/checks.
People you’ve already exported stay in your leads. Exclusions apply to future exports.
For people, only a SHA-256 hash of each email or profile is kept, never the address itself.

Companies

Add companies

curl -X POST https://intentleads.si/api/v1/exclusions/companies \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $INTENT_LEADS_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domains": ["example.com", "https://www.example.org/about"], "linkedin": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/example-net"]}'

Upload a CSV

curl -X POST https://intentleads.si/api/v1/exclusions/companies \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $INTENT_LEADS_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: text/csv" \
  --data-binary @customers.csv

A CSV needs a domain column (domain, company_domain, website, url, …) or a company LinkedIn column, or it can be a plain list with one per line. Websites are cleaned to the bare domain: https://www.example.com/about becomes example.com.

Call	What it does
`GET /api/v1/exclusions/companies`	List them, with `limit` and `offset`.
`POST /api/v1/exclusions/companies`	Add; ones already on the list are skipped.
`PUT /api/v1/exclusions/companies`	Replace the whole list.
`DELETE /api/v1/exclusions/companies`	Remove some (`?domain=example.com`, or the same body as adding), or all with `?all=true`.

People

Add people

curl -X POST https://intentleads.si/api/v1/exclusions/people \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $INTENT_LEADS_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"emails": ["jordan.lee@example.com"], "linkedin": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-rivera-example"]}'

You can send email_sha256 instead of emails if you’d rather not send addresses: the SHA-256 of the email, trimmed and lowercased. A CSV or plain list works too: every cell that’s an email, an email hash or a LinkedIn profile URL counts.

Call	What it does
`GET /api/v1/exclusions/people`	How many hashes are held. The list can’t be read back.
`POST /api/v1/exclusions/people`	Add.
`PUT /api/v1/exclusions/people`	Replace everyone.
`DELETE /api/v1/exclusions/people`	Remove some (`?email=…`, or the same body as adding), or all with `?all=true`.

GET /api/v1/exclusions returns both counts in one call.

The people count is the number of hashes held: each email or profile you sent, plus other email hashes we found for the same people.
