I'm Teala I run events and am new to Clay.

Clay. I'm wondering what's the best/most credit efficient way to take the lead list (full name + email) of registrants, and enrich their contact details (LinkedIn profile url, job title, org/company) and then from that enrich the company data (how many employees, funds raised, employee stock option plans Y/N) Is there a module about this in Clay university someone could direct me to, or anyone who's built something similar who'd be willing to chat about their process? Thanks

Hi Teala — For credit efficiency, what’s worked well for us is: first match registrants to LinkedIn profiles using name + email (minimal enrichment), then pull job title + company from LinkedIn, and only after that enrich company-level data (employees, funding, ESOP) in a second pass. That way you avoid wasting credits on bad matches. I don’t recall a single Clay University module covering this end-to-end, but happy to share the workflow or chat through it if helpful.

hey - so for enriching the contact details (linkedin, job title, company), set up a waterfall with apollo or datagama using their native APIs instead of clay credits. way cheaper. clearbit works too if you got access. you could also use clay's native enrich person option but that'll use their credits.

After doing that you would also get the company name/website. once you got the those from that enrichment, you can use it to pull company data (employee count, funding raised, etc). apollo, datagama, clearbit all handle this. clay's native company enrichment works fine too. if the website doesn't come through clean, try using the company name + linkedin company url instead - usually pulls better data anyway.

for the employee stock option Y/N - you could run claygent with your openai api key to search for that info online and return Y/N. keeps costs down vs using clay credits for ai searches.

not sure if this is what you looking for but check out this clay U - university.clay.com and university.clay.com
