How to Find New Companies Using the Find Companies Tool

Find Companies tool question - I have a perfect query set up for find companies. Each time I run it for say, 50 companies, I want it to provide me with 50 new companies. For example, the initial run gives me 50 companies that meet the query specs. However, subsequent runs of the same query appear to be pulling the same companies each time. I have to increase the number each time to get new companies. Is this intended functionality? Or is there a way to set this up that I am not doing? Thanks

The Find Companies tool doesn't have a built-in feature to automatically return only new, non-duplicate companies on subsequent runs of the same query. To get new results, you may need to adjust your search filters or increase the number of results each time. What specific search criteria are you using in your Find Companies query? This information could help us explore alternative approaches to diversify your results.

Alright, so is the only option increasing the limit number each run? (this is more of a general question, not related to a specific table - thx)

Hey! Just a quick heads-up—we’ve made some improvements to how scheduled sources work: ** Source limit now acts as a run limit, meaning it controls how many new rows get fetched each time. So for example if you add 50, everytime it'll run, 50 will be added ** When you click Update Now, Clay will only fetch new companies that aren’t already in your table This helps avoid duplicates and ensures each run gives you fresh results. Let us know if you need help adjusting your setup!
