Concerns About LinkedIn Enrichment Accuracy with BuiltWith Data

Got an issue with linkedin enrichment from Clay when i'm exporting companies from Builtwith. Most of the domains (from builtwith) are invalid, yet when I do linkedin enrichment Clay is able to find a linkedin profile. I can see some inconsistencies with the domain from the linkedin enrichment VS the root domain from builtwith. Can anyone share some insights here? Should I trust the linkedin enrichment?

    When there are inconsistencies between the domain from LinkedIn enrichment and the root domain from BuiltWith, it's best to consider both sources of information carefully. LinkedIn enrichment in Clay is generally reliable, but discrepancies can occur due to various factors. To get the most accurate data: 1. Double-check the input data for the BuiltWith enrichment. 2. Ensure you're using the full URL for LinkedIn enrichment, including https://. 3. Consider running both enrichments and comparing results. If inconsistencies persist, you may want to manually verify the information or request human assistance for further guidance.

    Hey Panagiotis We're using a translation function to find the LinkedIn URL associated with each domain, so yes, you can trust the LinkedIn enrichment. In some edge cases, the company you're looking at might be connected to a different domain than what Builtwith shows and in those case, you can also try our Claygent, which is our AI agent that goes online to find more information about companies based on the data you already have.

    i think the issue is email sequencing, while i only want to use Instantly for email validation (that's how i validate emails)

    Hi Panagiotis

    I'm checking your account and can see you have access to all 3 Instantly Enrichment.

    Could you please clarify what specific issue you're experiencing with the Icypeas API?

    Hey - We're getting this from the API Key: "The user does not exist", "error":"UserNotFoundError", "status":401, "code":"user_not_found_error".

    Can you make sure to replace both the API Key (typically the user) and the Secret Key (the password)?

    yes you legend! Thanks Bo (. Last thing - could you let me know on the Instantly API use? I think cause you need explorer plan to to campaigns, the same applies to Instantly email verification Happy to upgrade to the explorer - just want to cover the difference (already upgraded to starter cause for this month is all i need, but I don't want to pay €500 total for this 😅) Can you lmk pls?

    Hey Panagiotis Sorry, we can't prorate the plan upgrade because you receive full credits upfront with any new plan. This is why we charge the full price for upgrades. Wish we could!!! :(
