For Agents
Manage digital business card leads, team members, tags, and template links captured from NFC card taps and QR code scans.
Use for: Get all leads captured by my team today, Retrieve the last person who scanned my digital business card, Sync Popl leads to our CRM system, Add tags to leads for follow-up segmentation
Not supported: Provides lead capture and team management for digital business card interactions. Does not perform contact enrichment, email validation, or CRM operations—use dedicated data enrichment and CRM APIs for those capabilities.
Popl is a digital business card and lead management platform that replaces physical cards with NFC-enabled devices and QR codes. The Popl API provides programmatic access to lead data captured from card taps and QR scans, team member management, tagging systems, and template link configuration. Sales teams and networkers use Popl to instantly share contact information, social profiles, and portfolio links, while the API enables CRM integration, lead routing, and analytics workflows. When someone taps a Popl card or scans a code, their contact information is captured and made available via the API for immediate follow-up. Enterprise teams use the API to aggregate leads across team members, enrich lead data with custom tags, and sync to Salesforce or HubSpot. The platform supports team-based lead management where admins can retrieve leads captured by any team member and implement custom lead qualification workflows.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Popl API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Popl API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Popl API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Sales Team Lead Capture and CRM Integration
Sales teams use Popl cards at conferences, trade shows, and client meetings to capture leads instantly via card tap or QR scan. The API enables automated CRM workflows where leads flow from Popl to Salesforce or HubSpot within minutes. Integration services poll the API for new leads, enrich contact data with company information from Clearbit, assign leads to account owners based on territory rules, and create CRM tasks for follow-up. This eliminates manual business card transcription, reduces lead response time, and ensures no networking opportunity is lost.
Poll Popl API every 15 minutes for new leads, enrich lead data with company information, match lead to sales territory, create Salesforce lead record with Popl data, assign to account owner, send Slack notification for immediate follow-up.
Event Networking and Lead Qualification
Event organizers and attendees use Popl to manage connections made during conferences and networking events. The API enables retrieving all leads captured during a specific event timeframe, tagging them with event name and context, and implementing qualification workflows. Marketers query the API post-event to export attendee contact lists, segment by booth vs. session interactions (using custom tags), and trigger email nurture campaigns. The API's tagging system allows marking hot leads for immediate sales outreach vs. long-term nurture segments.
Retrieve all Popl leads from conference date range, apply event name tag, implement lead scoring based on job title and company size, segment into hot/warm/cold categories, export high-value leads to sales team, add others to marketing nurture campaign.
Team Performance Analytics and Lead Attribution
Sales leaders use the API to analyze team networking performance, attributing lead generation and meeting outcomes to individual team members. The API enables querying leads by team member, time period, and tag categories to calculate lead volume metrics, conversion rates, and source attribution. Analytics dashboards display leaderboards showing top performers by leads captured, while attribution models connect closed deals back to original Popl interactions. This quantifies networking ROI and informs event attendance and business card distribution strategies.
Query Popl API for all team leads from past month, group by team member, calculate lead counts and tag distributions, match leads to closed deals in CRM, generate performance report showing lead-to-close rates, display team leaderboard.
Automated Lead Enrichment and Routing
Revenue operations teams build automated workflows that enrich Popl leads with additional data and route them to appropriate sales queues. The API retrieves raw lead contact information which is enriched using Clearbit, ZoomInfo, or Apollo APIs to add company size, revenue, and technology stack. Enriched leads are scored based on ideal customer profile fit, then routed to enterprise AEs vs. SMB reps, or to partners vs. direct sales teams. This maximizes lead value by ensuring qualified leads reach the right seller within minutes of capture.
Fetch new Popl leads via API, enrich with Clearbit company data, score lead based on company size and industry fit, route high-scoring leads to enterprise sales queue, medium scores to inside sales, low scores to marketing, log enrichment and routing in CRM.
