Integrating AirTable Data Sets for Instantly Campaign: Recommendations on Merging Contacts and Data Sets Efficiently

·
·

Hey Team, New User here. I’m trying to integrate data sets from AirTable for an Instantly campaign. The options for AirTable seem to support creating/updating records IN Airtable - rather than pulling FROM Airtable. Would you recommend merging my Contacts (CSV File) and Data Set (in Airtable) into a Spreadsheet first - and THEN merging into Clay? I can’t seem to pull the Airtable data set into Clay and merge with my existing contacts….

    Thanks - note: you can see both the attempts and syncing Airtable and Instantly.

    So you yes can put your data into a CSV and then upload it into Clay or you can also try using our webhooks and HTTP API to pull and send data from other APIs into Clay. Here is some info on webhooks: https://docs.clay.com/enrichments-and-providers/sources/import-data-from-webhook#2-how-to-set-it-up And this is for HTTP API: https://docs.clay.com/enrichments-and-providers/enrichments/all-providers/http-api

    Thanks, Luis. I really appreciate it... I considered the API - but that seemed a bit clunky for what I needed it for. I didn't consider the Webhook thing...

    Would webhooks allow me to compart a lot of different data points at once?

    That's a good question let me double check, I'm sure it does since its used to create tables in Clay, but let make sure.

    Luis - When you get a quick second, do you think could diagnose this integration issue I'm having with Instantly?
