At a glance: Most contacts in Network start partially hidden—you see a name, a photo or initials, a title, and a role category. Reveal uses a credit on your plan to unlock the rest: email, LinkedIn profile, and (when available) photo and refined title. Revealed contacts land in the Revealed tab grouped by company so you can come back to them later.
What revealing does
A revealed contact gives you what you need to actually reach out: their work email (when we have it), a direct LinkedIn link, and any enrichment we can attach—often a profile photo and a cleaner title. Reveal also flips the contact from “browseable” to “in my address book,” which is why it lands in Revealed.
How to reveal
Click Reveal on any contact card—from a Network search result, a Targets row, or the people panel on a job. The card updates in place with the new fields. If a reveal fails (rare), you’ll see a toast with the error and the card stays in its unrevealed state—your credit isn’t spent on failures.
Credits, billing, and limits
Each successful reveal uses one credit from your plan’s allotment. Check Settings → Account for the current plan and remaining balance. If you run out, the reveal button surfaces a billing prompt instead of charging silently—nothing happens that you didn’t click.
What the role categories mean
Every contact—revealed or not—carries a category:
Likely manager — best guess at the person who would manage the role you’re pursuing.
Leadership — senior people in the org or the function.
Recruiter — talent / sourcing roles for the company or function.
Peer — people doing the work today at the same level.
Other — useful contacts that don’t fit the above neatly.
The recommended tag marks the small subset we think you should reach first for the role and title you searched on.
Copy email and open LinkedIn
Once revealed, hover the card to copy the email to your clipboard (we show a quick confirmation), or click the LinkedIn icon to open the profile in a new tab. If you’d rather send from inside SeeVee, use Start outreach to kick off a sequence—see Start an outreach sequence from a Network contact.
If a contact’s email looks wrong
We do our best to attach a working address. If you spot an obvious mismatch (wrong name on the email, dead domain), email [email protected]—our team can flag the record and we’ll often refund the credit. Bouncebacks after sending are tracked under Fix problems with sending or sequences.
