Clay

What happens if one of your providers doesn't return valid data?

If a provider charges us for an API call, we will also charge Clay credits for that call. However, if a provider refunds us due to the inability to deliver valid data, we will correspondingly refund those credits back to you.

How can Clay give me better data coverage and pricing than Zoominfo or other data providers?

How can Clay give me better data coverage and pricing than Zoominfo or other data providers?
We often double or triple data coverage rates at a 1/5th or less of the cost of Zoominfo. A recent enterprise client, seeking to enrich inbound leads with basic company/contact info, had 30% coverage rates with Zoominfo at about ~25 cents per enrichment. They increased their coverage rates to 80% while cutting costs to less than ~1 cent per enrichment with Clay.
The reason why we have better data coverage is simple: we have multiple providers and waterfall them.
The reason we have lower costs…Large data providers like Zoominfo buy and whitelabel small providers, then charging a massive premium for subscriptions. Clay, on the other hand, is very transparent. We tell you exactly which individual providers your data comes from, and we give you access to wholesale rates from them. The price of Clay depends entirely on the enrichment tools you choose to use. In most cases, even with higher-cost tools in your Clay stack, Clay will be more effective and affordable than Zoominfo.

How good is Clay’s data quality?

Clay doesn’t have any native data. Instead, we allow you to get data directly from 75+ external enrichment tools in our central, credit-based marketplace. You can choose the providers you like most on Clay, including Hunter, Apollo, SalesNavigator, and more, and get their data directly into your workflows.

Customers often skyrocket their data quality and coverage using our waterfall feature, which lets you search multiple enrichment tools in order for any given field of information—and only pay once a result is found.

We also enable AI-based enrichment to scrape and summarize websites, PDFs, and more.

Can I connect Clay to something that isn’t on your integrations list?

Yes. You can use our HTTP API feature to connect to any tool that you have API access to. That includes 6Sense enrichment & intent data, G2 intent data, Cognism enrich, Wappalyzer technographics, Zapier workflows, etc.

Do I need other accounts or API keys in order to access tools in Clay?

You don’t need any outside accounts to use Clay. You can pay with Clay credits to access most of our data enrichment tools. Most people find that Clay, an email sending tool, and a CRM are all they need to get started sending campaigns.

If you do already have active subscriptions with other data enrichment tools, you can use them in Clay for free by using your API keys.

Can I access people that aren’t on LinkedIn with Clay?

Yes! We have various sources that you can use to kick off your list building. That includes scraping Google Maps to find local business leads, Github for engineering contributors, and more. You can also scrape any website with our Chrome Extension to kickstart your list building online.

Do you have global coverage?

Yes. We consolidate 75+ different enrichment tools, some with better global or regional coverage than others—you can choose which work best for your situation! If you ever find any gaps, let us know at support@clay.run and we’ll add a provider or help find you a solution.

Does Clay enable lead scoring?

Yes! You can assign your leads scores based on any criteria you’d like in Clay. See this video for more information.

What types of triggers & signals can Clay help me track?

An example of a trigger you can use in Clay is Finding Jobs from LinkedIn. There are other providers that can help you find news, headcount changes, etc. You can use our AI web scraper to monitor websites for changes as well. We’re actively working on expanding our list of trackable triggers.

How does Clay’s Chrome extension work?

Clay has two Chrome extensions. One of them can help you scrape any website for any list. Another connects to your LinkedIn to help you pull leads from LinkedIn into Clay, automatically enrich them, and send them to your CRM—in one click.

Can I schedule data enrichments so they re-run on their own?

You can’t currently schedule enrichments, but we’re actively working on a solution. If you’re using a table with a CRM source, it’ll be live and updated in a two-way sync every 24 hours. (Just a reminder, you can simply click a button to re-enrich up to 50k records in a single table, even if it’s manual).
