# Contact Discovery

The **Contact Discovery Node** automatically finds relevant people at each account in your workflow — based on the criteria you define. Instead of manually researching contacts or relying on static lists, this node pulls fresh, up-to-date profiles that match your target persona.

***

### When to Use It

Use this node when you want to:

* Discover net-new contacts at high-fit accounts
* Automate top-of-funnel lead generation
* Find the right person to enrich, qualify, or route into an outbound sequence

***

### Configuration Overview

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Important

It is required to have **Personas** before using the Contact Discovery node. You can configure this in **Settings > Account Intelligence > Personas.** 
{% endhint %}

The Contact Discovery node discovers new contacts based on user configured **Personas** and job change signals.
