The Cognism Sales Intelligence web app allows you to reveal contact information, add contacts to Lists, export records, and perform bulk actions on multiple contacts or companies.
Some actions, such as exporting contacts, may automatically reveal contact information and consume credits.
Reveal Contact Information
You can reveal contact information directly from the search results without opening the full contact profile.
Hover over a contact's phone number or email address.
Click Reveal.
The available phone numbers and email addresses become visible.
You can also reveal contact information from the contact preview or the full contact profile.
Note: Revealing a contact consumes credits if the contact has not already been revealed during the current contract period.
Individual Contact Actions
Each contact includes additional actions that can be accessed directly from the search results.
Click the More actions (⋮) menu next to a contact.
Available actions include:
- View Full Profile
- Add to List
- Export
These actions apply only to the selected contact.
Add Contacts to a List
Select Add to List to save a contact to an existing List or create a new List.
Lists help organise contacts for future outreach, campaigns, or exports.
Export Individual Contacts
You can export an individual contact directly from Search.
Contacts can be exported to:
- Your CRM
- A CSV file
If the contact has not already been revealed during the current contract period, exporting automatically reveals the contact and consumes credits.

Use the checkbox beside each contact to select multiple contacts.
You can choose:
- Select Page – selects all contacts on the current page (up to 25 contacts)

After making your selection, use the toolbar at the top of the page to:

You can export up to 10,000 contacts directly from Search.
Important: Credits When Exporting Contacts
Exporting contacts automatically reveals any contacts that have not already been revealed during the current contract period.
Credits are consumed only for newly revealed contacts.
Contacts that have already been revealed during the current contract period do not consume additional credits when exported again.
