New Delay Run Feature in Clay: A Game Changer for Data Tables

·Feb 05, 2026 02:04 PM·

Tried the new delay run feature in Clay yesterday, game changer. One of my tables was craving a delay and poof, perfectly served 🍝 Shared about it on Linkedin, but thought it might be useful for others here too!

Hi Lucile, what are the benefits of run after delay ?

Hi Yann! Sorry I missed this 🫣 The main value for me is sequencing. In my case with Intellimatch for example, records go from pending -> processing -> success. If a run triggers before everything hits "success"(which will happen if the run is immediate), you risk the next step not working as intended. So the delay gives enrichment time to complete which avoids premature downstream steps, reduces rerun loops and lowers API credit waste in some cases. Run after delay basically removes that babysitting 🚀
