Cognism integration

Cognism is a B2B sales intelligence platform for prospecting, contact and company data, and enrichment. Integrating Cognism with Frontegg lets your application search contacts and accounts, enrich and redeem records, check entitlements, search technologies, and manage opt-outs on behalf of your users — all through Frontegg's integration layer. Cognism's API authenticates with a static API token, so there is no OAuth flow.


Prerequisites

  • A Cognism account with API access
  • An admin who can issue API tokens in Cognism

Connect Cognism

Cognism authenticates API requests with a permanent API token issued by an admin in the Cognism web app. The token is sent on every request as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Step 1: Open API Tokens

Sign in to the Cognism web app and open Profile Settings → API Tokens.

Step 2: Generate an API token

Create a new API token and give it a descriptive name, for example Frontegg Integration. Copy the token value.

Copy your token now

The token is shown only once, when it is created, and is valid for six months. Copy it immediately and store it securely — treat it like a password. If it is exposed or expires, issue a new one on the same API Tokens page.

Configure the Frontegg portal

Once you have your API token, configure the integration in the Frontegg portal:

  1. Open the Frontegg portal and navigate to [ENVIRONMENT] → Integrations → Cognism.
  2. Paste the token into the API Key field.
  3. Click Save.

Keep your credentials secure

Never share or commit your API token to version control.
