Troubleshooting Clay Data Import to Attio via Zapier

Hey hey - your help would be very appreciated! So we've been stuck on importing clay data to Attio. We chose to do this through Zapier, given we're not too technical. The way we're trying to figure this out is: - We've created an HTTP API column in Clay. - We created a "Catch Hook" trigger in Zapier. - Copied the Webhook URL, from Zapier and pasted it to Clay's endpoint. - Configured the body to only - Columns returned success (200), so up to here I think we're good. --------- Where we think problem starts: - We configured the "body", by writing {"email":/email} - Connected out Attio (as a test) to Zapier using Attio's API (Connection is successful) - And then tried to push that record to Attio, through the "Create a new list record" action. Where we're completely stuck - BUT - Zapier does not recognize any existing lists we currently have in Attio, so we're receiving an error and we don't know what to do. Any help would be amazing! Thanks a lot!

    It seems like you're encountering an issue with the integration between Clay, Zapier, and Attio. Based on the information provided, it appears that you've set up the Clay to Zapier connection correctly, but you're having trouble with the Zapier to Attio part. Here are some steps to troubleshoot: 1. Double-check your Attio API connection in Zapier. Ensure it's properly authenticated and has the necessary permissions. 2. In Zapier, when setting up the Attio action, try refreshing the list of available lists. Sometimes, Zapier needs a refresh to recognize newly created lists. 3. Verify that you're using the correct Attio account in Zapier, especially if you have multiple accounts. 4. Check if there are any specific requirements for list names or IDs in the Attio API that might be causing the issue. Could you please provide the exact error message you're receiving in Zapier when it fails to recognize the Attio lists? This would help in diagnosing the problem more accurately.

    Away from my computer but i believe you need to first get the record ID of the Person record. Then you need to pass that record ID to create an entry in a list, i.e. you can’t pass the email of the person. Also going through Zapier might be helpful but in my opinion you’re just adding more failure points in your workflow. Would recommend passing Attio’s API docs through an LLM to help you integrate Clay directly with Attio

    It seems like you're encountering an issue with the integration between Clay, Zapier, and Attio. Based on the information provided, the problem might be in how the data is being sent from Clay to Zapier, or how Zapier is configured to interact with Attio. Here are some steps to troubleshoot: 1. Double-check your Clay to Zapier setup: • Ensure you're using the HTTP API enrichment in Clay correctly. • Verify that the webhook URL from Zapier is correctly pasted into the Clay HTTP API endpoint. • Make sure the body in Clay's HTTP API is formatted correctly as JSON. 2. In Zapier: • Confirm that the webhook is receiving data from Clay by checking the "Test" tab in your Zap. • Ensure your Attio integration in Zapier is properly authenticated and has the necessary permissions. 3. For the Attio integration: • Try refreshing the list of available lists in the Zapier Attio action. • Verify you're using the correct Attio account in Zapier. Could you please provide the exact JSON you're using in the Clay HTTP API body? This would help in troubleshooting any potential formatting issues.
