Search Scoops
Discover companies based on real-world business events surfaced by ZoomInfo's research team. Free to use.
Rowan BaileySenior Director, ProductWhat it does
Searches ZoomInfo's Scoops database for companies matching a business event: leadership changes, funding rounds, layoffs, product launches, pain points, projects, expansions, and more. Filter by scoop type, topic, department, publication date, and the firmographic filter set.
Unlike Intent, which is behavioral, Scoops are discrete, human-curated records of things that actually happened. Each one has a date and a source. This is the tool for event-driven prospecting and trigger-based outbound.
Credits
Free. Search Scoops does not consume bulk data credits. Each scoop returned counts toward your record and request limits.
When the AI uses it
The AI invokes this tool when you want to find companies based on a recent event rather than firmographic fit. It may chain into Search Contacts to find the right person at each account, or into Enrich Scoops for a deeper view of a specific company.
Example prompts
