How to enrich contacts
Paste your contact list or CRM export
Drop in your contact list or CRM export with names and companies. Sculptor waterfalls through 150+ providers to find a verified email for each contact.
Sculptor enriches every contact row
Sculptor chains through Clay's waterfall of data providers, querying each in sequence until a verified work email is found. Only matched rows consume credits, and catch-all inboxes are flagged before delivery.
Get a table with verified contact emails
The finished table has contact name and, for rows the waterfall enriched, a verified work email. Push to Smartlead, Instantly, or your sequencer to trigger a campaign the moment a row lands.
Why Clay for enriching contacts
150+ provider waterfall, credits only on match
Get verified work emails for matched contacts across your list. Clay waterfalls through 150+ providers in sequence and only charges credits when a provider returns a hit, so your budget goes toward results.
Verification with catch-all and role inbox flagging
Every matched email runs through verification before it leaves your table, with catch-all domains and role inboxes flagged automatically so bounces stay low and sender reputation stays clean.
Claygent fills gaps standard providers miss
When the waterfall comes up short, Claygent browses LinkedIn and each contact's company site to pull current title, role context, and contact signals. No manual research needed.
Direct sync to sequencer or CRM in minutes
Push enriched, verified contacts directly to Smartlead, Outreach, Salesloft, or Instantly with field mapping preserved, or sync back to HubSpot and Salesforce without a CSV export.
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 enrich contacts from my CRM?
Sculptor connects to your CRM or ATS (HubSpot, Salesforce, Greenhouse, and others), imports your existing contacts, and runs each record through a waterfall that queries 150+ data providers in sequence. It stops as soon as a verified email is found, then ZeroBounce validates the result before it appears in your table. Every row returns the contact's name and a verified work email.
How accurate are Clay's contact enrichment results?
Coverage typically climbs from roughly 30% with a single provider to 80%+ using Clay's waterfall across 150+ sources. In Clay's benchmark of 4,700+ contacts, top providers scored above 96% email confidence for SMB segments. ZeroBounce validates every email before it reaches your table, so bounces stay low and you only pay for successful matches.
Can I enrich a whole list of contacts at once?
Yes. Paste a list, upload a CSV, or pipe contacts directly from a Clay table connected to your CRM. Sculptor enriches every row in bulk and returns name plus verified email for each contact. From there, sync results back to HubSpot or Salesforce using CRM update columns, export as a CSV, or push records into your sequencing tool.
Is enriching B2B contact data compliant with email laws?
In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act permits B2B cold email as long as messages include a valid physical address, honest subject lines, and a working unsubscribe link. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B outreach under a documented legitimate interest basis (Article 6(1)(f)), but you must honor opt-out and erasure requests promptly. Canada's CASL requires express or implied consent before sending.
Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach, and keep your suppression lists current across every tool in your stack.
