Checking for Duplicates in a List: Effective Filtering Methods

Ā·
Ā·

Good morning all. I have a simple and sorta silly question. Is there a filter or some other good way to check a list for duplicates? Especially filtering on one data point (like email addresses?)

    Yes, there are two ways to handle this in Clay:1. Use the "Normalize and Deduplicate a List" feature which: ā€¢ Removes duplicate entries from a list ā€¢ Can handle arrays or comma-separated lists ā€¢ Optionally removes empty values ā€¢ Returns both a deduped list object and a deduped string 2. Use the "Filter List of Objects" feature which allows you to: ā€¢ Filter a list of objects based on specific criteria ā€¢ Select a specific field to filter by (like email) ā€¢ Apply different filter modes ā€¢ Filter using single or multiple valuesBoth methods can help you clean and organize your data while removing duplicates based on your chosen criteria.
