Clay doesn't have "functions" in the traditional sense - you're looking for Formulas. The right-click menu on selected columns won't show this option.
To create formulas:
1.
Click Add Column
2.
Select Formula
3.
Describe what you want to do in the AI Formula Generator
4.
Use "/" to reference columns
5.
Click Generate Formula and Save
You can also access formulas by clicking the dropdown on any existing column and choosing Insert right or Insert left, then selecting Formula from the column creation options. [1] [2]

Hey Bolaji! Thanks for reaching out. What action functions are you trying to use? Any action columns can be done by selecting the blue 'Actions' button on the top right corner.
If you're referring to something else, please feel free to clarify and include your table link URL.

Hey Bolaji, the screenshot that you're showcasing is specific to the user's subscription plan which is only available for Enterprise plans only. Do you have anything else I could help you with in the meantime?

Only Enterprise accounts can create functions?

Enterprise accounts have the 'Save as a function' feature. All other plans do not. This is also the case with other specific features.
