Use Apollo with an AI Browser for Client Reporting
Run client reporting in Strawberry using Apollo as one of the inputs. Specific surfaces, example prompt, real output, and tradeoffs vs alternatives.

If you use Apollo and you regularly need to produce a client report, the bottleneck is usually the same: Apollo holds part of the context, but client reporting also needs signals that live outside it - on the public web, in LinkedIn, in news, in other connected apps. Strawberry is built to combine the Apollo context with the rest of the browser, and run the full workflow as a companion you can re-trigger every week.
This page describes specifically how Strawberry handles client reporting when Apollo is one of the inputs. It names the Apollo surfaces involved, the signals the workflow actually needs, an example prompt you can paste, and what a good output looks like.
The job a agency owner, account manager, founder serving clients is trying to do
The goal of client reporting is to produce a clean, on-brand recap of what was done, what worked, and what is next for a client. The success metric is concrete: report turnaround under 1 day, client approval without major revision. That definition matters because it shapes what Apollo needs to contribute to the workflow.
What signals client reporting actually needs
For each signal below, here is whether Apollo can contribute directly or whether Strawberry has to find it via the browser:
- Campaign or activity data from connected ad/analytics tools - Apollo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.
- Agreed KPIs and last-period comparison - Apollo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.
- Qualitative wins or losses - Apollo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.
- Next-period plan - Apollo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.
- Open questions for the client - Apollo does not contain this directly. Strawberry uses the browser plus public sources to fetch it.
What Strawberry can do inside Apollo
Strawberry can search Apollo by ICP filter, enrich a candidate list with verified emails, and combine that with web research for personalized outreach.
Apollo surfaces Strawberry uses for this workflow: contacts, companies, sequences, lists, filters.
How Strawberry runs client reporting with Apollo
- Strawberry opens the Apollo contacts that contains the relevant context.
- The companion pulls related context from Apollo (companies, history, attached files) where it exists.
- For the parts Apollo does not store, Strawberry uses the browser - web search, LinkedIn, news, the prospect's website.
- Strawberry synthesises the output in the shape this workflow needs: A PDF or Google Doc structured by section.
- A human reviews before any external action (send, update, post). Then the approved output is saved back to Apollo or your system of record.
Example Strawberry prompt
Paste this in a new Strawberry chat with Apollo connected. Adjust the specifics to your actual ICP, role, or topic.
Read this Apollo contacts and any linked context.
Then run a full client reporting workflow on it. Use the browser to fill any gaps not in Apollo.
Return the output in the shape we use for client reporting: A PDF or Google Doc structured by section: summary, KPI table, highlights, plan, asks.
Do not send anything externally. Save the draft to me to review.
What a good client reporting output looks like
Here is what a finished output for client reporting should look like in practice. The specifics will change for your use case, but the shape should look similar:
- Client: Sparbanken Skåne - May 2026
- KPIs: CPC -12%, CTR +0.4pt, total leads +18%
- Highlights: new creative angle on retention won 60% of impressions
- Plan for June: scale the winning creative, test a second segment
- Asks: confirm copy review SLA for new creative
Why Apollo for this, and where to use a different tool
Apollo is strong for this workflow because Strawberry can search Apollo by ICP filter, enrich a candidate list with verified emails, and combine that with web research for personalized outreach.
Where Apollo falls short Apollo credits are consumed per contact reveal; phone reveal credits are separate; account is shared so usage adds up fast.
Consider also a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) once the prospect enters pipeline.
Common mistakes when running client reporting
- Report is mostly screenshots of dashboards with no synthesis
- Missing the comparison vs last period so the client can't tell if things are working
- No 'what we're doing about it' section for bad KPI movements
Connecting Apollo to Strawberry
Apollo API key - reveal_phone_number is currently hardcoded true (known bug). Once connected, the companion can read the surfaces above without re-authenticating, and any write action still requires explicit human approval the first time the workflow runs.
Caveats
Do not let any AI agent send emails, update CRM records, or change shared systems without a clear approval step. Strawberry is strongest when the workflow combines browser context with connected-app context and a human review for sensitive actions.

FAQ - Apollo + AI browser for client reporting
Can Strawberry do client reporting entirely inside Apollo?
No, and that is the point. client reporting needs signals Apollo does not store - public web, LinkedIn, news, other apps. Strawberry combines Apollo with the browser, which is where the real value comes from.
Does Apollo need to be the primary CRM or system of record?
Not necessarily. Apollo can be one input among several. Strawberry can read it as context even if your primary system of record is somewhere else.
What permissions do I need on Apollo?
Read access to the surfaces you want Strawberry to use (contacts, companies, sequences). Write permissions are only needed if you want Strawberry to update Apollo after a human approves the change. Apollo API key - reveal_phone_number is currently hardcoded true (known bug).
What is the realistic success metric for client reporting?
report turnaround under 1 day, client approval without major revision - that is the target Strawberry helps you hit, not the only thing it measures.
What is the biggest mistake to avoid?
Report is mostly screenshots of dashboards with no synthesis.
