Troubleshooting Clay Table Errors in AI Candidate Search

Hi team gm, I'm currently using a Clay table to search for a specific job position, I'm trying to use AI to identify if the candidate is a male or a female, but when I run the enrichment it shows an error or some inputs are missing, any steps or advices to fix this issue? Thanks

To fix the error or missing inputs issue when using AI enrichment to identify gender, try these steps: 1. Use the "Predict Gender with Clay" enrichment, which uses the genderize.io API. 2. Ensure you're providing the correct input: • Use the "First Name" field (required) • Optionally, add "Localization" for improved accuracy 3. In the Prompt Editor, toggle "Required to Run" for essential fields to prevent errors from empty rows. 4. Double-check that you're using the correct column names from your Clay table. If you still encounter issues, consider requesting human assistance for more specific troubleshooting.

Hi Brayan, thank you for reaching out. I suggest that instead of using the AI, you use our "Predict Gender" functionality, which ahs been built specifically for this function (shown below). I will make sure to refund you 500 credits for the Use AI column you have created.

Hi Brayan, it looks like the endpoint you inserted does not point to any specific functionality in Apollo. I suggest revising the endpoint you inserted and seeing if that is correct. Do you mind also sending me the information/documentation you were using to set this up. It would be very helpful for me to have a look at it too so I can understand what is going wrong :)

To get personal emails using Apollo, you'll need to use a custom HTTP API since Apollo doesn't expose personal emails through their regular enrichment. Here's the Apollo.io People Match API configuration for the Clay HTTP API editor: Apollo.io People Match API * Method: POST * Endpoint: https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/people/match * Query Parameters: first_name: firstname last_name: lastname organization_name: orgname domain: domain.com linkedin_url: liurl reveal_personal_emails: true reveal_phone_number: false * Headers: Content-Type: application/json accept: application/json x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY * Body: {} (Empty JSON object as parameters are passed in the URL) Remember to replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your actual Apollo.io API key. This will search for the person using their details and specifically request personal emails.

Hi Brayan, I can see that I was able to fix the endpoint, but now it is asking you to insert an API key. I do not have your api key at the moment, but do you mind creating a new Apollo API key, and using that one to run the command?

Hi Brayan, it looks like your Apollo API key is being recognized as invalid. Everything else in your HTTP API call is set up correctly. I recommend reaching out to Apollo support to understand why this key is not working. I’m sorry about the issue—your command runs properly, but it can't retrieve the data due to the invalid API key.

Hi Brayan, I just slightly modified your conditional AI column run, and you should now be able to run the enrichments as you wished. Please know that the same condition is still there, I just slightly modified it so it works as expected.

Got it thanks and what was wrong ?
Stefano
·

The Use AI column made it so that it only ran if the lower case version of your column said "Business". But that word has an uppercase letter in it, so instead of "Business", I made sure to make it be equal to "business".
