Clay integration

Clay integration for profile search

Clay is a flexible way to find people. LeadGennie takes the profiles you choose and adds research, ICP scoring and evidence-backed drafts, with your team approving every campaign before it sends.
See how it works

Quick answer

LeadGennie connects to Clay's Public API with your own key to search people profiles, review the matches and import the ones you pick. Clay's People Search returns profiles, not email addresses, so LeadGennie imports profiles only and never invents an email.

What it helps with

What the Clay integration does.

Advanced people queries

Run Clay's documented people queries from LeadGennie. Result pages are cached for 24 hours, so paging back does not run the search again.

Existing leads flagged

Profiles already in your workspace are matched by Clay profile ID or LinkedIn URL before you import.

Profile-only, stated plainly

Imports say that Clay People Search returned no email addresses. Nothing is scraped or guessed to fill the gap.

How it works

From audience to approved action.

  1. 1

    Connect your key

    A workspace admin adds a Clay Public API key. LeadGennie verifies it with Clay, stores it encrypted and never shows it again.

  2. 2

    Search and select

    Search for people, review the profiles and select the ones that fit.

  3. 3

    Import and research

    Selected profiles go through validation, dedupe and Do Not Contact checks as a background job, then into research.

Limits

What it doesn't do yet.

  • Clay People Search returns no email addresses, so none are imported from Clay.
  • Clay tables and routines are not connected.

Questions

Answers for evaluating the workflow.

Does the Clay integration use LeadGennie credits?

No. Your Clay plan's limits apply to searches; LeadGennie credits are not charged for Clay search or import.

How do I get emails for profiles imported from Clay?

Clay's People Search does not return emails, so profiles from Clay arrive without one. You can add an email to the lead yourself, or source people through the Apollo.io or Lusha integrations, which return work emails.

Can LeadGennie's agent search Clay?

Yes. The agent can include a Clay profile search in a plan; the step states that Clay returns no email addresses and runs only after you approve the plan.
