is there a way to generate unique ID for rows?
When working with data in Clay, you can specify uniqueness fields to identify rows uniquely. If you don't select specific fields as unique identifiers, Clay will use the entire row content as the unique identifier. However, be cautious with this default approach as it may result in many duplicates in your table. It's recommended to select specific fields that can uniquely identify each row to avoid duplicate records. Source: Salesforce Reports with Salesforce
