FAQs

What happens if I don’t update my industry codes? Your API queries may return inconsistent or incomplete results. Old industry codes may not match contacts correctly, leading to gaps in your prospecting tables. Will my existing saved filters still work? Saved filters using old industry codes may return different results after the update. We recommend reviewing and updating all saved filters that use industry parameters. How do I find out which industry codes changed? Download the complete table of new industry codes and compare it with your current codes. Industries that were renamed, added, or removed are indicated in the documentation. Can I still use the old industry codes? No, old industry codes that were removed or renamed will no longer return accurate results. You must update to the new codes. Will this affect my historical data? Historical data in your system will remain unchanged. However, new API calls will use the updated taxonomy, so you may need to update your internal mapping to maintain consistency. How long will it take to update my integration? The time required depends on how extensively you use industry filters. For most users, updating API calls takes 15–30 minutes. Is there a deprecation period for old codes? No, the change took effect on November 26th. We recommend updating your codes as soon as possible to avoid disruptions.
