Can I use Clay to import Sales Navigator URLs?

Yes! You can import Sales Navigator URLs using our Find People Search feature.

Go to Method Filter > Select External List > Paste your Sales Nav search URL in the Query section. This imports up to 2,500 results per URL, costing 1 Clay credit per result.

Important requirements:

The integration retrieves publicly available profile data including names and profile links—no additional authentication needed. [1]

Method Filter is not showing

You're in the Find People Search interface, not the Method Filter section. The Method Filter appears after you click "Continue" from this search criteria page.

Complete your search setup first, then you'll see Method Filter options where you can select External List to paste your Sales Navigator URL.

Did that answer your question?

No, when I click continue, it imports the people....

Hi there, Apologies as it is not under a "method" as mentioned above, but under the companies filter in the people search. You should be able to paste your Sales Navigator URL here: ​

Let me know if this helps, or if you have any further questions.

Ah, I see

Thanks for clarifying

When I scrape myself with other tools, I am limited to 2.500 per day to keep my account safe. When I use Clay, is it also 2.500 per day maximum or is that unlimited (i.e. can i run multiple sales nav imports after each other)

Hi there, I can't comment on this with full certainty regarding the 'safety', but you should be able to conduct as many searches as you'd like from within Clay. Each individual search will be limited to 2,500 results. It should be noted that each imported result costs 1 credit.

Understand the pricing, thanks

As for the import: based on the Sales Nav URL, i assume you somehow import over "your" linkedin accounts? So it has nothing to do with me or my computer? In that case it might be safe to run multiple imports after each other. Could you check with the technical team in the background? Would be good to know if I can use Clay to bypass the 2.500 limit that way.
