Why Clay for finding company email addresses
Waterfall coverage across 150+ providers
Get verified work emails for matched contacts without overpaying on misses. Clay waterfalls through 150+ providers in sequence and charges credits only when a provider returns a hit.
Catch-all and role-inbox filtering built in
Catch-all domains and role inboxes like info@ are flagged before any email leaves Clay, keeping bounces low. Risk labels (safe, catch-all, risky, suppressed) let you choose which rows to send.
Scheduled re-verification keeps lists fresh
About 2-3% of any email list goes invalid each month as contacts change jobs. Clay auto-refreshes on schedule and flags stale rows so your list stays deliverable without manual work.
One-click push to Outreach or Salesloft
Verified contacts sync directly to Outreach, Salesloft, Smartlead, or HubSpot the moment a row is enriched, no CSV exports required. Campaigns start without any manual handoff step.
Clay is a game changer for marketing, data, and operations. We have 3x our enrichment rate with Clay’s combination of data providers. Clay makes it easy to use AI for GTM initiatives, unlocking new workflows that were infeasible before.
Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptor find company email addresses?
Sculptor searches its company database for your target industry, identifies the CMO at each match, then runs a waterfall enrichment across 12+ email providers, including Hunter, Findymail, and Prospeo. A free Infer Email step runs first, catching about 31% of addresses before any paid provider is called. The waterfall stops as soon as a valid email is confirmed, so you only pay credits for the provider that delivers the match.
How accurate are the company email results?
Clay tested 12 email finders across 4,700+ contacts and found that seven providers scored above 96% confidence on SMB addresses, with Datagma leading at 97.70% and Hunter at 97.58%. A single provider typically covers only about 30% of contacts, but Clay's waterfall pushes coverage to 80% or higher by querying multiple sources in sequence. Each result passes validation before the waterfall stops.
Can I find company emails for a whole list at once?
Yes. Paste a list of companies, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table into Sculptor to run email lookups in bulk. Every row returns company name and CMO email in the same table, ready to push directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, or drop into your outbound sequencer as a targeted account list.
Is it legal to collect and email company contacts in bulk?
In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act applies to all commercial email, including B2B. Every message must include a valid physical address, a clear opt-out mechanism, and truthful header and subject lines. Penalties reach up to $53,088 per violation. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B outreach under a legitimate-interest basis, but you must document that interest, honor data-subject rights, and offer an easy opt-out.
Rules vary by jurisdiction, so always check local regulations before launching outreach campaigns.
