Clay doesn't have a built-in setting to make rows run sequentially one after another. However, you can control column execution order within each row using conditional runs.
You can set up columns to run in sequence by using "Only run if" conditions in the Run Settings. For example, make Column 2 only run after Column 1 completes by checking that Column 1 has produced data. You can also use the Clay.getCellStatus(#{{field_id}}) formula to check if a specific column has finished processing before allowing the next one to run.
Are you looking to control the order of enrichments within each row, or do you need something different for your workflow? [1] [2]

Hey Arnold! Thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you only want columns to run based on if the previous ran. There isn't an action where this happens- typically you can run one manually at a time, 10 at a time, and the rest after. I would suggest using a run condition and setting the rules to only run if the previous row is successfully completed.
