Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor append demographic data to my contacts?

Connect your CRM or paste a list, and Sculptor maps each contact row for enrichment automatically. It then runs a 10-provider waterfall that includes Apollo, Clearbit, Lusha, and Datagma to resolve fields like job title, seniority, and location. Each row returns the appended demographic fields plus a verified email, ready to push back to your CRM or export as a CSV.

How accurate is the demographic data Clay appends?

Stacking providers in a waterfall lifts verified email coverage from roughly 30% with a single source to 80% or higher, and Clay charges credits only when a provider returns a match. For seniority and job title, Clay resolves each field across 10 providers and keeps the first confident result. ZeroBounce validates every returned email, so bad addresses get filtered before they reach your CRM.

Can I append demographic data to a whole list at once?

Yes. Paste contacts directly into a Clay table, upload a CSV, or pipe records from HubSpot or Salesforce. Sculptor enriches every row in the table in one run, pulling job title, seniority, location, and verified email for each contact. Push the finished table straight to your CRM or download the CSV for segmentation and outreach.

Is it legal to collect and use appended contact data for outreach?

In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act applies to all commercial email, including B2B. It requires accurate sender info, a working opt-out mechanism honored within 10 business days, and a valid physical address. Penalties reach up to $53,088 per non-compliant email. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B outreach under a legitimate interest basis, but you must document a balancing test, disclose how you obtained the data, and honor opt-out requests promptly.

Rules vary by jurisdiction, so check the regulations that apply to your recipients before sending.
