API Endpoint in Clay: A Zapier Alternative for Automation Process

·

Is there an API endpoint available in Clay that I can utilize instead of Zapier? Currently, my automation process involves using a webhook to fetch new data to Clay.

Hey Ron, sorry for the delay! You can generate a Webhook table to get that URL/cURL. This video briefly shows how to do that if that's what you need: https://www.loom.com/share/7ea0148442bb4e7791ad7dd19e869a8a?sid=c292280a-082a-4308-9769-3ebf9053b7d9

Hi Arturo O., is it possible to replicate this without using Zapier? The purpose of this is to create a new row if there's new data coming from a webhook, so that I don't have to spend any credits.

If you can connect your running script to that webhook directly, then that would be it. Otherwise, not sure how else to automate the call.

We do have other integrations, like with Apify, or CRMs that auto-check every certain amount of time to pull in new records but not sure what you have in place/as a script running.The webhook gives you the option to use it as an API endpoint as shown in the video though, so let me know if the script can redirect its calls to that instead of via zapier.

Hey Ron! sure: We recently added a rate limit for webhook sources of 10 records/second with a max burst of 20 records to avoid any single user significantly impacting the performance of the product for other users. Right now there’s no way to send the data in batches, in a single request, but that’s on our todo list
