The Magic of

Clay is an endlessly flexible spreadsheet that pulls leads from dozens of sources, enriches them with AI and third-party APIs, and pushes the finished records straight into your CRM or outbound sequences.

Pure Outbound

Clay turns cold outreach into a science experiment.

Start by defining your ICP—industry, headcount, tech stack, funding round—then let Clay sweep the web for matching contacts, enrich them with intent data, score for fit, and drop the top prospects straight into your sequencing tool and CRM.

Inbound-Led Outbound

Convert fleeting interest into high-intent conversations

When a prospect hits your site, registers for a webinar, or pokes around a pricing page, Clay can instantly add context and spin up a tailored outbound play. It grabs the visitor’s email or company domain, enriches with firmographic and buying-signal data, cross-checks open opportunities, and triggers a personalized email or SDR task—all before the lead’s curiosity cools.

CRM Enrichment

Say goodbye to stale data; Clay keeps your CRM evergreen.

Schedule workflows that scan your accounts and contacts, update job changes, append fresh technographics or funding rounds, and even flag churn risks. Because the enrichments flow bi-directionally, reports stay accurate, segmentations stay sharp, and RevOps spends less time cleaning tables and more time optimizing the funnel.

FAQ

Can I push Clay tables straight into my CRM, sequencing platform, or Slack?

Yes—one-click actions send rows to HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach, Salesloft, Slack, Airtable, or any tool that accepts webhooks or Zapier/Make scenarios.

How long does it take to stand up a workflow from scratch?

All projects are bespoke, however most workflows are built end-to-end—source, enrich, push to CRM—in under a month, and can clone or tweak rapidly as targeting needs evolve.

How secure is the data I upload or enrich through Clay?

Clay encrypts data in transit and at rest, is SOC 2 Type II compliant, and lets you restrict API keys, column visibility, and workspace access by role.

How does Clay keep my lead data fresh—are updates real-time or scheduled?

You choose: trigger refreshes instantly when a field changes, on an external webhook, or on a set cadence (hourly, daily, weekly) so your CRM always reflects reality.

Which data and enrichment APIs can Clay connect to out of the box?

Clay ships with native connectors for LinkedIn, Apollo, Clearbit, RB2B, SemRush, BuiltWith, Crunchbase, Google Maps, OpenAI, Anthropic, and hundreds more, plus a universal “Fetch” block for any REST API.

What kind of ROI or time savings do B2B teams typically see after adopting Clay?

Customers report 5–10x faster list builds, 50%+ reduced cost per qualified meeting, and days of SDR labor reclaimed each month thanks to automated enrichment and routing.

Does my team need any coding skills to manage Clay workflows once they are built?

No—workflows can be managed simply and easily by your team post-build. A discounted monthly maintenance fee can also be negotiated for ColdStart to manage the platform on an ongoing basis.

What makes Clay different from a normal spreadsheet or prospecting tool?

Clay looks like a spreadsheet but every cell can call an API, run logic, and stay in sync with external apps, so you can source, enrich, and route leads without hopping between tools.
