Setting Up Delay Between Rows in Clay to Bypass API Limits

Muhammad · 2024-09-06T09:14:32.101624+00:00

{{formatUser "U058ZVCGKJ8" ""}} {{formatUser "U06MQLRMNH3" ""}} Hi guys! How can we set up a delay time among rows to run in Clay? Since we're having error issues with Clay when the API limit is lower than 5 requests per second so we'd like to set a delay to bypass the error. We can do that in Make.com but how can we do this in Clay? Can you please help?

Hey Muhammad, really appreciate your patience- we'll have more people joining us soon to speed up our responses! About this particular issue, we don't currently support slower speeds than 5 reqs/sec but has been brought up a few times internally to consider, however, it may be a require infrastructure changes and take a bit longer to enable (no ETA yet). Overall, for a delay feature, I'll submit a request which is slightly different from a slow API call. Also something we've been scoping out. For now, it still requires sending those request to a tool that does support the feature :/ but we'll make sure to announce this as it would be highly anticipated!

Quick question so I can share more feedback. What is the API/provider you're looking to use in Clay? :D
