SERVICES

Clay Automation Services

Unlocking the true potential of your Clay.com account.

External Automation Workflows

Building robust workflows in n8n, Tabula, or Make.com that Clay can call via webhook to perform complex tasks and return the results.

Cost-Effective Enrichment

Offload your enrichment from Clay credits. Setting up waterfalls in external tools using your own API keys to get better data for less.

Advanced Logic & Branching

Implement complex "if/then" logic that Clay can't handle. Split leads by seniority, region, or data quality within a single workflow.

Managed Automation Services

This service includes monitoring and maintaining your critical external workflows, ensuring your Clay tables are always populated with fresh, accurate data.

USE CASES

Advanced Plays for Clay.com

Execute GTM strategies that aren't possible with Clay alone.

Run Large-Scale Research in Tabula

Use Tabula's powerful, unlimited-row canvas to perform complex lead research, deduplication, and filtering. Then, pipe the clean, final list into a Clay table for final enrichment and outreach.

AI Personalization via n8n

Send data from a Clay row to a self-hosted n8n workflow. Let n8n use the latest AI models (like GPT-4o) to scrape a prospect's site and generate personalized lines, then return the result to Clay—all without using expensive credits.

Custom Web Scraping

Need data from a source that has no API? A custom scraper can be built in n8n that Clay can trigger. Clay sends a URL (e.g., a LinkedIn profile), n8n scrapes it and returns the structured data back to your table.

Connect to Internal Databases

Securely enrich Clay leads with data from your company's private SQL database. A self-hosted n8n instance acts as a secure bridge, querying your data and sending it to Clay without exposing your database to the internet.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use another tool with Clay?

Clay is fantastic for orchestrating data, but it has limitations. Using external tools like n8n or Tabula allows you to solve specific problems Clay can't handle well (or cheaply), such as:

Cost: Running enrichment via your own API keys is far cheaper than using Clay credits.
Flexibility: Build complex branching logic or process arrays without hitting Clay's limits.
Power: Perform large-scale data cleaning and research in a purpose-built tool like Tabula before sending the final data to Clay.

How does Tabula work with Clay?

They are a powerful combination. You can use Tabula for the heavy-lifting of data research and cleaning—merging large lists, advanced filtering, and deduplication—since it has no row limits. Once you have a clean list of prospects in Tabula, you can export it and use Clay for what it excels at: programmatic enrichment waterfalls and connecting to sales engagement platforms.

What is n8n and why is it useful?

n8n is a powerful, open-source workflow automation tool. When Clay calls an n8n webhook, n8n can perform tasks that are expensive or impossible in Clay, like custom web scraping, advanced AI personalization, or connecting to unsupported tools. Because you can self-host n8n, it's extremely secure and cost-effective for high-volume tasks.

What's the development process?

The process is simple:

Discovery Call: A meeting to understand your goal and the specific limitation you're facing in Clay.
Solution Design: The best external workflow (using Tabula, n8n, etc.) is mapped out to solve your problem.
Development: The automation is built and tested, and a simple webhook is provided for Clay to call.
Handoff: A walk-through of the solution ensures you know how to use it seamlessly within your Clay tables.
