To skip processing new leads in Airtable if they're already in your existing customer list, you can use Clay's "write to table" feature and table exclusions. Here's how: 1. Use the "write to table" feature to import both your new leads and existing customer list from Airtable into separate Clay tables. 2. When creating a new table for processing leads, use the "Exclude" section to select your existing customer table as an exclusion source. 3. Choose matching criteria like email address or domain to identify duplicates. 4. Generate results that automatically exclude matches from your existing customer table. This approach will streamline your prospecting by removing existing contacts from your new lead processing.
