Icypeas finds a work email for a person, verifies an email address, and finds a LinkedIn profile URL from an email address.
Before you start
Account: a Loopster-provided Icypeas account (listed on Connections) or your own Icypeas account. A column's Account block shows which one it uses.
Input: it depends on the action. Each action below says what the row needs.
Important: on Loopster's account, runs are paid from your wallet. Check Auto-run at the top left of the toolbar before you run anything. See Run columns safely: Auto-run, test one row, then run the rest.
How do I connect my own Icypeas account?
Icypeas already runs on a Loopster-provided account, listed on Connections with Account type Loopster-provided and Status Connected. To use your own account instead:
Open Settings, then Connections.
Click Create.
In the Connect an account window, find Icypeas in the list and click it.
Follow the steps that open for Icypeas.
Then open the column's settings: the Account block shows which account the column uses, with a Manage accounts link. See Connections: Loopster-provided accounts and your own.
How do I use Icypeas in a table?
Click Add column, then Add enrichment.
Open the Enrich tab and search for Icypeas.
Choose the action you want. The list below says what each one does and what it needs.
Map the input or inputs the panel shows: click an input, press
/and pick a column. See Map an enrichment's inputs.Click the arrow next to the main button and choose Add column without running.
Click the play button on one row, then double-click the cell to read the result.
To run the rest, click the play button on the column header, read the cost in the Run column dialog, and choose Run all N empty rows.

Troubleshooting
Quick answer
Auto-run is off, or the column was added without running.
A required input or setting has no value (the panel footer warns).
The cell says Error: open it and read the message. Then check the Icypeas connection under Settings, then Connections.
Nothing happens, or the cells stay empty
What you see: The column exists, but no row has run.
Why it happens: Auto-run is Off (the app says "New rows and values will not run on their own"), or you chose Add column without running.
What to do: Click a row's play button, or use the column header's Run column dialog. See Why didn't my column run?.
The footer says "Select a column for … before running"
What you see: A warning such as "Select a column for … before running." in the panel footer.
Why it happens: A required input or setting (marked with *) has no value. An input can be empty even when a suggestion names a column.
What to do: Click the input, press / and pick a column from the list. Do not close the list with Esc: a / or @ is then left in the field as plain text.
My cells say Skipped
What you see: Skipped in the cells.
Why it happens: Skipped means "Did not run because of filters or missing dependencies."
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Check that every input is mapped to a column, and look under Run Settings for Add run condition ("Only run if this formula resolves to true.").
My cells say Unsatisfied
What you see: Unsatisfied in the cells.
Why it happens: Unsatisfied means "Enrichment ran correctly, but output didn't match expected format."
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Check the input values in that row, and test one row before you re-run many. See What a cell's message means.
A cell says Error
What you see: The cell says Error, and the footer shows a count such as "1 cell failed".
Why it happens: Error means "Crashed, something went wrong." The message is in the cell it happened in.
What to do: Double-click the cell and read the message. Then open Settings, then Connections, and check the Status of the Icypeas connection. Read the line under each option in the Run column dialog before you re-run.
I am not sure which Icypeas account a column uses
What you see: You want to know whether a column runs on Loopster's Icypeas account or on your own.
Why it happens: Icypeas can run on a Loopster-provided account or on your own account, and the column's Account block shows which account it uses.
What to do: Open the column's settings and look at the Account block. To add your own account, use Settings, then Connections, then Create. Connecting your own Icypeas account avoids the charge for runs on it.
The result did not change after I edited an input
What you see: A finished cell keeps its old result after you change an input.
Why it happens: With Auto-run on, Keep existing results is ticked: "Only errored, empty and new cells run. A completed answer is left alone even when one of its inputs changes."
What to do: Double-click the cell and click Re-run this cell, or click the play button on the column header and choose Overwrite all N rows in the Run column dialog. Read the line under each option first.
What does it cost?
On your own Icypeas account, nothing is charged from your wallet. On Loopster's account, runs are paid from your wallet. Look for a price next to the action in the Add enrichment panel (not every option shows one) and hover it: the tooltip says it runs on Loopster's account and is paid from your wallet. Before you run, the Run column dialog shows the cost: Maximum cost on a paid column. Connecting your own Icypeas account avoids the charge. See Your wallet and keeping spend under control.
Good to know
Icypeas has three actions in Loopster. They are all in the Enrich tab.
Find Email and Email to LinkedIn can be waterfall steps. The other one is not marked as eligible. See Find people's contact details with waterfalls.
No action creates rows in your table.
No action writes outside Loopster.
Other providers show some of the same names (LinkedIn from email, Verify email and Work email). The panel's ACTION line reads Provider › Action, so check the provider name before you add one.
