Find people from external search does not work, it tells me “You must include a valid people search URL” in an error. But this URL is valid:
https://www.linkedin.com/sales/search/people?query=(recentSearchParam%3A(id%3A4913232330%2CdoLogHistory%3Atrue)%2Cfilters%3AList((type%3AFIRST_NAME%2Cvalues%3AList((text%3ANathalie%2CselectionType%3AINCLUDED)))%2C(type%3ALAST_NAME%2Cvalues%3AList((text%3ADilewyns%2CselectionType%3AINCLUDED)))))&sessionId=tYDVUUxpSH2Qj3MjIOcgeA%3D%3D&viewAllFilters=true
The "Find People from External Search" feature requires a specific type of URL to work properly. Your URL must be a Sales Navigator People Search URL, not a Company Search URL. [1]
Here's what to check:
• Use Sales Navigator People Search URLs only - Company search URLs won't work
• Avoid saved Lead Lists - Your People Search filters cannot contain a Lead List saved to your personal account
• Use the search URL directly - Copy the URL from your Sales Navigator search results page after applying filters, but don't save it as a list first
To import correctly: Go to Method Filter > Select External List > Paste your Sales Nav search URL in the Query section. This will import up to 2,500 results, with each result costing 1 Clay credit.

I did more testing. A table that I duplicated and where I change the linkedin url of the source… does not work. A new table: works fine
so definitely a Clay bug!
