If I have a linkedin sales nav search with 3M contacts, what is the cheapeast way possible to find those people with clay, or use the import from external list function? How much is the find people function?

The "find people" search is limited to 50k contacts, correct?
Ciaran E.

If I have a result with 150k people, how can I batch it into 3?

how can I make this whole process more automated? I just exported a 50k person list, hwoever it was only 4 enterprise accounts. If I have a list of 1000 accounts, how can I not do it manually?

For write to table. Imagine I have a list of 40 accounts in a single table. Do I write each invidual row to a new table, then in each table perform a find people search?

yes but there are 100m people who work at those 40 companies, surpassing the 50k limit
Ciaran E.

No. I want to have one table that contains the 40 companies, then a "write to table" functiuon or similar, which takes each row (representing an individual company) and creates a find people for each.

Hey LuisArturo thanks for coming back to me, just caught this. The goal is to have one table that is a CRM pull from a list view in SFDC - this front table will contain 40 companies and has been created within the above table. Then, within the same workbook, a table would be automatically created for each of the 40 companies individually. For each individual company's table, we would perform a Find People search with say 10-50k results. Not sure if this is possible 🙂

Hmmm ok thanks Aditi S.. If I had say 1000 companies that I wanted to perform a Find People search on, and it had over say 10m people, what is the most efficient way to automate it on a company-by-company basis? I basically want to create contact lists at accounts, but dont want to manually create hundreds or thousands of tables individually

I understand - as mentioned we don't really have a way to automate the creation of individual find people tables. A workaround you could do here is to run a find people search using a "Clay table of companies." However, this will put all the people into the same table, but you could create various filters within your table to group by companies.
There would still have to be some level of manual work to order the companies.
Hope that helps!

Hmmm thank you Aditi S.. Do you know if anyone in Clay is aware of any other specific workflows your customers/users might use, perhaps through Zapier or similar? ie take row from google sheet containing a domain, create table in workbook and run find people search w/ the given URL?

Hey Ciaran- we don't have a specific template for this exact workflow. However, this is definitely doable in Clay. I would start by using Google Sheets as a source here when you open a blank table. After that, pull in the rows, and use the company domains to run a find people search by creating a new table and mapping it to the company domains you've pulled in. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you Amit K.. But this would still result in the same issue where I would either have to run a Find People search for several domains at once, referencing the Google Sheet source, OR I would have to manually create each table within a workbook to map it to an individual domain. Is that correct? This is my central challenge, because I want to run searches for very large companies (>1m employees per company) which means I would have to create each tab/table manually, or do a series of manual filters to reduce the people count to 50k results. If this is impossible it it possible to log a feature request?
