Issue with Domain Column Not Selectable in Find People Setup

Hi Clay Team- I have a table of companies and want to find people. I have the domain in the table but I'm not able to select the domain column to reference in the "find people" set up. Why isn't it selectable?

I apologize for the confusion. To use the domain column in the "Find People" setup, make sure you're following these steps: 1. Click on "Actions" in the top-right corner of your screen. 2. Select "Find people at these companies" from the dropdown menu. 3. In the "Companies" section, select your table containing the company data. 4. Under "Column," choose the column that contains the company domains. If you're still unable to select the domain column, it's possible that the column format isn't recognized as a valid company identifier. In this case, try using the company's LinkedIn URL if available, or request human assistance by clicking on "Talk to a person" for further troubleshooting.

Hi Adam, thank you for reaching out! It's probably because it was inside the Claygent response, I added it as an individual column and renamed it as 'Domain' so now it easily shows up in the dropdown
(80 kB)
I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you with anything else :)

Hey Smit (Clay) here's something i'm stuck on. Not sure how to initiate the table to find people off the company table in this workbook. I already built a nice flow and maxed out the apify actor runs in the company table. So i duplicated the company table and the actor ran, and now I want to run the same people table flow as I already built as well. I know how to find people starting from a fresh company table. What I don't see is how to activate an existing people template based on new company table. If you see the link to the table here I think you will understand. Any thoughts? https://app.clay.com/workspaces/507736/workbooks/wb_f2h3Skit89Cm/tables/t_b8VrfVijk4gV/views/gv_2yzezisdCPmc

I'm not sure I follow what you are trying to achieve. You mind sharing a quick loom recording explaining what you are trying to do and where you are stuck? It will be super helpful. Thank you!
