Reverse email lookup, clearly explained
Start with the email. Resolve the business identity behind it.
Reverse email lookup uses an email address as the starting identifier for a professional and company match.
Instead of searching for a work email from a known person, this workflow runs in the opposite direction. TargetWise searches for professional and company context associated with the supplied business email, then returns the available fields.

How the lookup works
One business email becomes one evidence-aware result.
TargetWise checks the identifier format, retrieves available business context and maps it into a stable response without exposing supplier credentials or supplier-specific fields.
- Start with one business email
- Retrieve identity and employer context
- Keep professional and company fields distinct
- Preserve unresolved fields without guessing

Reverse email lookup for AI agents
Let an agent request business context without guessing.
When an agent encounters a business email, MCP can connect the reverse-lookup capability to a supported host. The host controls tool permissions and the workflow controls downstream action.
- Host-owned tool permissions
- Per-workspace request limits
- Explicit unresolved branch
