From how Clay + HubSpot typically behaves, it won’t blindly create duplicates. If the company gets created on the first run and you rerun the table, Clay will usually match against the existing company (domain / unique identifier) and skip creating it again, assuming the same identifiers are used. Duplicates usually only happen if the identifiers change between runs (e.g., different domains, missing domain on one run, or multiple “create company” steps without a match condition).

As per my past experiences, In most cases, being locked out of a client workspace is tied to permissions, seat changes, or billing status. I’d suggest checking with the workspace owner to re-invite you or verify your access, and also reaching out to Clay support so they can unblock it quickly on their end.

Hi Mike, From what I’ve seen, Clay’s Ocean.io integration is primarily geared toward company-level lookalikes. You typically seed it with a company (or a list of companies), and Ocean returns similar companies based on firmographic and technographic signals. For contact-level lookalikes, Clay usually relies more on workflows like finding people within those similar companies, rather than Ocean directly generating contact lookalikes.
