Hii, Happy weekend! Could someone assist me regarding my issue? I have an issue filtering People at Company using the origin Table of companies itself. the preview doesnt match and align accordingly. When i hit Continue button an error occured. I have no education background with Ai and i really need someone to teach me personally. Thanks

Hey Siti N., Could you share a bit more detail: What exactly does the error say when you hit Continue? What are you trying to do? pull contacts from companies in your table, or filter an existing people list based on company data? A screenshot would also help a lot if you can share one!

Hii goodmorning Fatima T. i have attached pictures below, as the red font says error occured. actually im trying to pull 'Find people with filters' to 'Table of companies', as a result find people with filter will merge accordingly with Table of companies.

Got it, thanks for explaining! So the issue is that Clay doesn't allow merging 'Find People with Filters' back into the same table that's being used as the source (the error is basically Clay's way of preventing a circular import). The fix: instead of using one table for everything, set up a workbook with two separate tables, one for Companies and one for People. Run 'Find People with Filters' on your Companies table, but send the output to the new People table instead of merging it back into Companies. That should resolve the error.
