Automating Job Openings in Clay for CRM Leads: A How-To Guide

Hi I am looking into automating my Clay table of hiring companies.

  • I would need to get the updates of the new jobs openings weekly for the existing Clay table, so I can get more leads into my CRM 🙂

Can I do it within Clay or do I have to use another app such as Zapier? Thank you

    Hey there Helena thanks for reaching out, couple questions for clarification, would you be planning on using Clay as the source for finding new job openings? And if yes, are you trying to have it setup so that Clay would automatically run its found job search weekly. If this is the setup you are going for it currently will not work as Clay is unable to automate or schedule runs at this moment for find jobs/companies/people. However, if you are planning to use Zapier to pull in job openings from your source, this would work in automating the work sequence as this would use a Webhook which would automatically run whenever a new data entry would be recorded in your source. Below is some documentations on our Webhook feature.

    Hi George, thank you for the answer. 🙂yes I was wondering if the first option would be possible. Do you think I could connect Zapier to an existing table and update it weekly using PhantomBuster?

    Hello, Yes, it is possible to achieve this via webhooks. However, it is not supported in any other way. For this type of task, using APIFY may be more effective. If you need more details or assistance setting up webhooks or using APIFY, please let me know.

    Hi Bo, I am trying to automate it now via Zapier using the trigger by PhantomBuster but this way does not work either.

    Hi, Could you share more details about what isn’t working with the PhantomBuster trigger? You may not need to use Zapier for this, as webhooks achieve the same result. Let me know what specific issues you’re facing so I can help.
