Super Carl ACTION

Search People

Search people by role, company history, expertise, location, network relationship, or recent activity. Keep Preview enabled for fast counts and lightweight rows; disable Preview when you need full rows and Evidence Format, since Evidence Format is ignored during preview. Use Search Companies first when a named employer is ambiguous. Person rows carry deep connection/evidence metadata and can be large — pass Fields (e.g. name, linkedin_profile_url, headline) to keep the result small when you only need a few values. Always pass Fields when Preview is off and you set Relationship Detail to intro_paths or Evidence Format to anything other than none: that combination alone can exceed the response size limit even with a handful of rows, so don't wait for a truncated first call to add Fields. Read-only against Super Carl's shared external people database: there is no way to edit, hide, or delete a person's profile through this or any other Super Carl tool. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Super Carl account once, then configure and run Search People from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "super_carl-search-people",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    super_carl: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    query: "Query",
    filters: "Filters",
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

Search People inputs
Property Type Description
query Query string
Natural-language search query, for example Head of Growth candidates in NYC warm through my network.
Optional
filters Filters object
Optional Super Carl AdvancedFilters JSON object for structured constraints. Example: { "job_titles": { "include": ["Head of Growth"], "current_only": true }, "locations": { "include": ["New York"] }, "connection_degrees": ["1st"] }.
Optional
preview Preview boolean
Use the fast preview route. Turn off for full rows with selected evidence detail.
Optional
limit Limit integer
Maximum number of results to return.
Optional
offset Offset integer
Number of results to skip.
Optional
evidenceFormat Evidence Format string
none returns compact rows, reasons adds match reasons, text adds profile prose, json adds structured evidence, and both returns text plus JSON. Applies only when Preview is disabled.
Optional
relationshipDetail Relationship Detail string
none omits relationship data, summary includes social proximity and mutual counts, and intro_paths includes warm-intro path details when available.
Optional
delegateUserId Delegate User ID string
Optional Super Carl team-seat user ID to search as. This is the UUID of a teammate's user record that the API key owner can delegate to, for example 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000.
Optional
fields Fields string[]
Optional list of fields to return per row instead of the full record — keeps large result sets well under the context limit. Supports dot-paths for nested values, for example name, linkedin_profile_url, resolved_target.id. Omit this prop to return the API default field set (every field).
Optional
