hey, if I have auto update colums enabled on a table, does that mean, that whenever new companies or leads match the source in imported companies or leads, they will be added to the table? and enriched? example: if I did a find companies search and imported it into a table in clay. 2 days later another company matches the same filter. will it be added to the table and enriched automatically? so in order to avoid hidden costs I must turn off auto update colums, right?

    Auto-update in Clay doesn't automatically add new companies or leads that match your original import filters. It only enriches new rows added to your existing table. To prevent automatic enrichment and potential unintended credit usage, you can turn off auto-update. Here's how: 1. For the entire table: Click the three dots next to your table name, then select "Auto-Update Columns". 2. For specific columns: Go to "Run Settings" and toggle off the Auto-Update button. 3. To stop running updates: Click the 'Stop Updates' button. Turning off auto-update helps avoid hidden costs, especially when building your table. For more control over credit usage, consider testing enrichments on a few rows before updating the entire table.
