"I browsed LinkedIn and didn't see any staff members for UX/UI, I guess you're using contractors."_ _: {{/Find Contacts at Company}}.includes("Found 1 Person")_ _?

To help troubleshoot your formula, you'll need to verify a few things: 1. Make sure your "Find Contacts at Company" enrichment is properly configured and returning the correct data. 2. Check if the conditions in your formula are being evaluated correctly by: • Breaking down the formula into smaller parts • Testing each condition separately • Verifying the data format returned by the enrichmentYou can use Clay's AI formula feature to help build and test your conditions: 1. Select "Ask question about items with AI" from the column options 2. Test each condition separately to ensure the data is being evaluated correctly 3. Verify the output matches your expected resultsIf you continue having issues, you may want to create separate columns to test each condition individually to identify where the logic might be failing.

To troubleshoot your formula when getting unexpected results, here are the key steps: 1. Break down your formula into smaller parts and test each condition separately to identify where the logic might be failing. 2. Use Clay's AI formula feature to help test your conditions: • Select "Ask question about items with AI" from the column options • Test each condition individually • Verify the output matches your expected results 3. Consider creating separate columns to test each condition individually, which can help pinpoint where the logic might be breaking down.Remember, it's normal if the AI doesn't give exactly what you're looking for on the first try. You can iterate on your formula, adjust the wording, or modify the generated code until you get the desired results.

{{/Find Contacts at Company}}.includes("No Profile Found") This wouldnt work
Muhammad

thats why you are getting same output
Muhammad
·
·
your formula is not detecting these values
Muhammad
·
·
count the number of items in the array and that would give you how many people were found
Muhammad
·

use that number to control your formula

when i write the formula the "find contacts in company" doesn't show me the outputs that I am seeing in the columns . maybe that's the issue? like say the output for the first row is "1 person found" and second row is "7 person found" instead of showing me the exact value its showing me like this 1 row 1 , value = 1 , row 2 , value = 7 .
