John T. Generally, any static database would have outdated information as time goes by, that's the unfortunate truth!

Hey John T. , I've personally stopped using Clay’s Find People capabilities due to issues you mentioned. Instead, I create a prompt to get an AI agent to scrape a person based on the stated title and company. You might want to explore that

To give more context- By default, Clay turns on the ‘Only Safe to Send emails as valid’ settings. And when it comes to email validation, there are generally 3 broad categories. Valid Catch All Invalid The ‘Only Safe to Send emails as valid’ settings essentially treat catch-all emails as invalid, which results in it going to the next email finder.

Denver B. Sounds like you are using the typical Clay waterfall, where for every email finder you use, you validate with zero bounce. And it seems like zero bounce shows valid, but yet it goes to the next email finder, which then wastes credits. Not sure if that’s what you’re experiencing?

Crosby T. It might have been a classic case of AI hallucinating and coming up with information. A simple things to fix that could be:

And also, I might skip using Argon and use something like 4o or 4o mini or something! Haven't had the best experience with Argon.

Patrice In that case, try to create a claygent that actually goes into the company's 'About Us' page, and find the relevant person! Or get Claygent to do a google search and find the right person. And don't forget to verify Claygent's response, just in case it hallucinates!

Patrice Clay's 'Find People' function might have limited reach. At the end of the day, Clay doesn't connected directly to LinkedIn, but rather, they rely on multiple data providers when it comes to contact information. Secondly, Find People works better companies that have a linkedin presence. If the list of companies you have is often smaller companies, Clay might not have them. Personally, I prefer to create a claygent that goes to the web to find the right people, and return to you the full name + title, and you go ahead to find their email addresses afterwards with a waterfall method. Claygent can search the web in real-life and return you more update to date information,

Jeffrey Z. I personally use LeadMagic -> Prospeo -> DropContact -> Wiza -> Datagma (Especially for US Market) If credits usage isn't a big thing for you, using BetterContact or Upcell as the start would be a good idea. Have heard great and accurate coverage about them! But more importantly, I always use 'Enrichely' afterwards to ensure that the email address is valid. Many data providers might not validate the emails before giving it back to you. And I always believe it's better to send an email, and ensure that it actually lands, rather than just sending high volumes!

Jeffrey Z. Find work email doesn't find everything actually. Often, it just chooses a few providers for you. If you really want to go through everything, simply click 'Add Action', and you should be able to see the pop-up of the other email providers you can add on.
