Help Needed: Fixing Excess Output in Clay Search Function

Ammar K. · 2025-03-26 09:50:13.879771+00

Hi Everyone, I've clearly limited this search to 10 people and still it always outputs me more which I'm sure is always using credits. Could someone please help me fix this issue.

It seems there might be a misunderstanding about how the search limits work. The limit you set is a maximum, not a strict number of results. For the "Find People at Company By Job Title with Apollo.io" integration, the maximum limit is 10. However, this doesn't mean you'll always get exactly 10 results. The search will return up to the limit you set, but it may return fewer if that's all that's available. It won't return more than the limit. To address your concern about credits, the number of results returned doesn't affect your credit usage for this type of search. Credits are typically used for specific enrichment actions, not for basic people searches. If you're still seeing unexpected behavior, could you provide more details about the specific search you're running and the exact number of results you're getting? This would help us troubleshoot further.

Sorry this does not answer my question. I am referring to the Find Contacts at Company enrichment from Clay which finds people via LinkedIn. I can clearly see here that you charge me credits. So please clarify with a human,

Hi Ammar, thanks for reaching out! The limit for the find contacts at company search defaults to 10/has a maximum of 10 which is why you are seeing 10 people arrays in the results. The second number you are seeing is the total number of matching results that meet your search criteria. Even if the total result number is more than 10, you will only get 10 people returned in these search results. And you are only charged 1 credit per cell this runs on so no need to worry about extra credit charges! Let me know if you have any other questions! 😊
