Yes, you can filter by industry when using Find People. The tool allows you to include or exclude specific industries as part of your company attributes filters. Additionally, when you run Find People on a list of companies, Clay automatically links your Find Companies table to your Find People table, letting you pull company attributes (including industry) directly into your people data.

No i want the industry to populate in a column

Unfortunately, that’s not possible directly—company industry data and people data come from separate sources. The best approach is to run a Find Companies search first to get the primary industry, and then run a Find People search from there.

We’re running a find people off the back off find company results (separate clay table) but was wondering how we can get the primary industry to flow through We’ve turned to ChatGPT doing research and populating the primary industry

Current flow:
Find people based on a specific company table within another workbook.
Chatgpt enrichment to tag company with a "primary industry" for future targetting
Clarfying Bo (.: there's no way to get the primary industry (from the company table that we're using as the source for the find people search) to pull through?

Hey, Here’s a Loom that shows how to do it: https://www.loom.com/share/ad767e3be9914d19a2f6647efe4dfa85?sid=c8b78c32-9bc1-4501-8124-d6c70d2218cf The best way to pull in the primary industry from your company table is to use a lookup column in your people table. You’ll often find there’s already a “Company Table Data” field available—use that to reference and pull in the industry value. Let me know if you have more questions!
