Hello everyone,
I am in the learning of enriching my first leadlist.
I would like to find individuals facts about all the leads I have in my list (445 leads) so i can be an icebreaker in the mail.
I am looking into using either Open AI API or my clay credits. I would like to be as efficient with my clay credits as possible. I use the starter plan and would like to know, If I am able to connect a open AI API with my Clay account, which can run tasks like finding individuel things about every lead.
Yes, you can connect your OpenAI API key to Clay to save credits! When you use your own API key, those AI actions run for free in Clay. [1]
To add your OpenAI API key, go to your profile picture > Settings > Connections, or when setting up an AI enrichment, click "Add Account" and switch from Clay's default to your own account. [2]
However, for reliable performance with individual lead research, you'll need an OpenAI tier 2 API key (30,000 TPM for content generation, 450,000 TPM for web research). Free or tier 1 plans won't support these requirements.
Before diving into setup, try our built-in AI tool Sculptor (top-right corner) - it's totally free and can help you build workflows for enriching your 445 leads efficiently.
