Tips for Monitoring Credit Usage and Forecasting Needs with Clay

·Sep 17, 2024 03:46 PM·

I'm running all kinds of experiments with Clay and also applying it to a lot of existing programs and initiatives. One thing I am struggling with is monitoring credit usage and forecasting how many we need ahead of time. Does anyone have any tips on how they've approaching this?

Create the entire flow for only 10 rows. Count the credits used by each row, and then extrapolate that to your entire data set.

Thank you, I sort of mean this in a broader way, estimating how many for so many different initiatives before I've started tables etc

Clay does not make it super easy to monitor usage

Most of this is intuition, and it will be built automatically after you do these things a few times. Like now, I can calculate the # credits it takes to find, enrich, find emails, collect data for personalization, personalize, and push to a tool for a 100 profiles pretty easily. Given that the use cases are different, it would be very hard to estimate the total number of steps required to get an answer, without practice.

Kimberley C. I think it's easier to have a set of API to scale Clay tables WITHOUT credits
