Issues with Contact Search from Company List in Clay Database

·Jun 21, 2025 01:19 PM·

Hello, I'm trying to create a search for contacts from this list of companies. However, when I click on preview, it seems that the search isn't pulling contacts from this specific list. I attempted to use the "Website" and "Company LinkedIn" columns as identifiers, but I still receive a generic list of contacts from the entire Clay database. Table: https://app.clay.com/workspaces/12283/workbooks/wb_0sy7j62qPERgaoSs6kU/tables/t_0sy7j6k7NAyrowf9BAY/views/gv_0sy7j6ljfGy3wtabhEV

To search for contacts from your specific list of companies: 1. Go to "Actions" and select "Find people at these companies" 2. Under "Companies, " select your table containing the company data 3. For "Column, " choose either "Company LinkedIn URL" or "Website" (domain) 4. Set your search parameters for the type of contacts you need 5. Click "Preview People" to check results 6. If satisfied, click "Import" and "Save to new table" Make sure your table has the correct company identifiers (LinkedIn URLs or domains) as these are essential "corner pieces" for accurate people searches.

Hey! From what I’m seeing, your PEO search looks correctly set up with the company inputs. If you’re noticing unrelated contacts, it might be due to some domains in your list being too broad or noisy—like social platforms (e.g. Facebook) or landing pages that don’t map cleanly to a specific company profile. If that’s not the case, feel free to point out which rows look off, and I’m happy to dig in further. Let me know if you have more questions.
