Conditional Field Handling for HTTP API Requests in Clay

Adnan · 2025-03-03T17:50:00.772484+00:00

I am trying to upload leads from clay to breakcold using HTTP API request. The problem is, if there is any field missing (e.g. some leads doesn't have linkedin profilea enriched) for an entry, it doesn't run the api request and gives error of some input missing. How can I include each field conditionally within the http api request in clay?

To handle missing fields in your HTTP API request, you can use the "Remove null & undefined values" option in Clay's HTTP API integration. Here's how: 1. In your HTTP API integration settings, enable the "Remove null & undefined values" toggle option. This will automatically remove any fields that are empty, null, or undefined from your request. This feature helps prevent: ** Sending blank values to the API ** Data overwrite issues * Errors caused by missing information When this option is enabled, Clay will automatically clean up the request body by removing any empty fields before sending it to the API, ensuring that only fields with actual values are included in the request.
