I'm trying to use clay to set up a campaign in smartlead and add leads to it automatically but I'm having trouble. Can anyone assist me?

Here's how to set up and add leads to a Smartlead campaign using Clay: 1. First, you'll need to complete two requirements: • Get your Smartlead API key from app.smartlead.ai/app/settings/profile and add it to Clay • Create a campaign in Smartlead (this must be done before using Clay) 2. In your Smartlead campaign setup: • Create your campaign • Set up your variables for customization (like subject_line and email_body) • Use double curly brackets for variables (e.g., {{subject_line}}) 3. In Clay: • Add the Smartlead enrichment • Select your campaign • Input required fields: • Lead email address (required) • Names and company information (recommended) • Map your custom fields to match your Smartlead variables After setting this up and running your rows in Clay, your leads will automatically sync to your Smartlead campaign. Make sure to review your campaign setup in Smartlead to verify everything is syncing correctly.
