Using Clay.getCellStatus() for Workflow Timing Issues
Use Clay.getCellStatus() Hey Clay Community, I ran into an issue while building a workflow with two tables: Company Level Data and People. In Company Level Data, I used a Find People column to pull people from companies, followed by a Lookup to fetch data from the People table. The problem? Find People didn’t show any output — even when it found matches — so I couldn't use any conditional logic based on it. Support shared this helpful function:
Clay.getCellStatus({{ Column_name }})
It returns the column’s status (e.g., `Success`, `Unknown`), letting you trigger logic only when the column has actually finished running — even if it looks empty. Hope this helps anyone stuck on similar timing issues!
