Guide to Using Ocean in Clay: Mitigating Credit Usage Issues

Hi! Does anyone have a guide to using Ocean within Clay, I've found for each account row it will give me a list of 10 companies but most of the times all the other rows will have those same 10 companies and it burns more credits than it should. How to mitigate?

    To mitigate excessive credit usage when Ocean provides similar results for multiple rows, try these steps: 1. Test on a small sample first: Run the integration on just 10 rows to verify results before scaling. 2. Turn off auto-update: Select the three-dot icon beside the table name and disable auto-update to prevent unintended credit depletion. 3. Use filters: Set additional filters like country, company size, or industry to get more diverse results. 4. Organize data: Use the "Write to Table" feature to clean up and deduplicate your results. If you still need more credits, consider purchasing credit top-ups or upgrading your plan for a higher credit allotment.

    Hey there, sorry for the delay. Yes, it's possible but requires a workaround with a few setups within the table, namely pulling previously run companies into the next row. I made a loom for you ::) [https:://www.loom.com/share/83420dde0d3843cfb4d658f934ee12b6](https://www.loom.com/share/83420dde0d3843cfb4d658f934ee12b6) And here's the table you can copy: https://app.clay.com/shared-workbook/share_2Q4yC4vUE6se If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know! 😊 Have a great Thursday, Daniel
