Get started with the Lusha Claude plugin

Just installed the Lusha Claude plugin? Here’s exactly what to type first — four starter prompts, then where to go next.

TL;DR

  • What this is: A quick-start guide for the Lusha Claude plugin — what to type first, right after you install it.
  • Four prompts to try: Build a prospect list, clean up a CRM export, scan target accounts for buying signals, and find lookalike accounts.
  • Credits: Searching is free; revealing an email or phone number costs credits, and a search with no match never costs anything.
  • Where to go next: Once these feel natural, try the Lusha Skill library — Account Intelligence, Buying Group, Data Quality, Pipeline Review, and Lusha Prospector — inside the same plugin.

You just installed the plugin. Here’s exactly what to type first — four prompts that cover the most common ways teams use Lusha inside Claude, plus where to go next once you’re comfortable.

Before you start

Open the Directory in Claude, search for “Lusha” under Plugins, and connect your Lusha account if you haven’t already. No other setup is needed — the plugin includes the connector plus the prompting know-how, so it works the moment it’s installed.

Four prompts to try first

1. Build a prospect list

“Find me VPs of Revenue Operations at companies with 200 to 1,000 employees. I want their verified email and a sense of which companies they’re at.”

2. Clean up a CRM list

“Here’s a CRM export — 30 contacts. Check if each one still has a current, high-confidence email, and flag anyone who’s changed companies or gotten promoted in the last year.”

Paste the list right after sending this.

3. Scan target accounts for buying signals

“Scan [your top 3 target accounts] for buying signals since the start of the year — funding, executive moves, hiring surges. Tell me which one is in the strongest buying position right now.”

4. Find lookalike accounts

“Here are 8 of our best customers by domain: [list]. Find me 20 more companies that look like them — similar size, similar industry, similar profile.”

A note on credits: searching is free. Revealing an email costs 1 credit, a phone number costs more — check current pricing at lusha.com/pricing. A search with no match never costs anything. Ask Claude to show you matches before revealing if you want to keep spend deliberate.

Where to go next

Once these four feel natural, the rest of the Lusha Skill library runs the exact same way inside the plugin — no separate install. Try the Account Intelligence Skill for a full pre-call brief, or the Buying Group Skill to map every decision-maker at a target account.

If you’re cleaning up CRM data regularly, the Data Quality Skill and Pipeline Review Skill go further than the starter prompt above. For prospecting at scale, Lusha Prospector installs once and removes the need to re-describe your ICP every time.

No conflict either way. The connector gives Claude raw access to Lusha’s data; the plugin bundles that same access with the prompting patterns above built in, so it works without setup. If you already have a Project with the connector and prompts you like, keep using it.

This play is written for the Claude plugin specifically. Lusha also works inside ChatGPT using @Lusha — see the Plays library for the ChatGPT-specific versions of these same workflows.

Be as specific as you’d be with a colleague — job title, company size, industry, location. If a request is too vague, Claude will usually ask a clarifying question rather than guess.
