    I apologize, but I don't have specific information about Clay's "Text with Tokens" setting in the provided sources. This feature isn't mentioned in the available documentation. To better assist you, could you provide more context about where you encountered this setting or in which part of Clay you're trying to use it?

    It's under the Setup Inputs for the Lookup Rows enrichment. Says select input type and I can select between Text with Tokens (Text with optional dynamic tokens) and Dropdown (select from discrete options)

    The "Text with Tokens" setting is one of the input formats available for columns in Clay. It allows you to enter text with optional dynamic tokens. This is different from the Dropdown option, which lets you select from predefined choices. "Text with Tokens" is the default input format for columns. It's more flexible, allowing you to input free-form text and potentially include dynamic elements (tokens). To change between these input types: 1. Click the column header 2. Select 'Edit column' 3. Click the gear icon 4. Choose your preferred input type 5. Save your settings If you need more specific information about using these options in the Lookup Rows enrichment, you might want to request human assistance for a more detailed explanation.

    But it's available as a filter operator, how does that work?

    The "Text with Tokens" setting as a filter operator in Clay allows you to use text-based comparison operators to filter your data. Here's how it works: 1. You can use operators like "equal to" (==), "not equal to" (!=), "contains", and "does not contain" for text-based filtering. 2. These operators let you filter records based on specific text criteria. For example: • Filter leads where First name == "John" • Exclude companies where Company Name != "Competitor Inc" • Find emails containing "gmail" • Filter out email domains not containing "gmail.com" 3. To apply a filter: • Click "Filter" above the table • Select the column you want to filter • Choose the appropriate operator • Enter the value you're filtering for This flexible approach allows for precise text-based filtering in your Clay workflows.
