Hi! What's the most powerful service to extract a company name from a domain? Context: we have loads of orgs using our free SDK with a watermark, and we can see which domain is hosting that watermark - and we want to match those domains to firms.
We offer integration with DropContact to find company names from domains. You can use either our Clay-managed DropContact account (charged at 2 credits per enriched cell) or bring your own API key.Alternatively, you can use our Clearbit integration which provides comprehensive company data enrichment. When you input a domain, it returns not just the company name but also additional valuable information like industry, employee count, social media profiles, and more.

Looks like you're still looking for help. We're escalating this over to our support team and someone should be in touch soon. In the meantime, feel free to include any other information that may be helpful in solving your issue!
Hey, thanks for reaching out You can actually simply try all of them back to back. 1. Clearbit (Find Domain from Company Name) 2. DropContact 3. Claygent Bonus: You can also add run conditions to all of them to not run if the other has a result Claygent might help yield better results with the right prompt. You can also use our Metaprompter to craft a better prompts.
Hi Bo - I'm not sure if that helps me:
The Clearbit flow is the inverse of what I need (I have domains, I don't have company name)
DropContact isn't erroring out, it's working but producing incorrect/gibberish results - so it would stop the waterfall with the wrong answer
I've tried Claygent but quality was poor - this will need access to a proper database, rather than an AI prompt
It's also a bit frustrating to have burnt through almost 250 500!! credits on a service that looked like it was working - but then, when I checked each row individually, is sending back useless results (please do have a look at the table, the URLs are mainly not real)
Hey Phil! Thanks for explaining further - totally get your frustration with those wasted credits! Looking at this closer: 1. You're right - these non-root URLs are tricky for integrations, they often give wonky results 2. The providers are probably just trying to match with their database, leading to those gibberish results For your case, I'd suggest keeping it simple - just try the basic company enrichment instead. It might not catch everything, but at least you'll get accurate results when it does work. Want me to help you set that up? 😊
I've also gone ahead and added the integrations: - Enrich Company - Normalize Domain And I also added the credits back so you can keep on playing around!
Very helpful thank you!! Do you have any guidance on how a more complex flow could perhaps be built to scrape websites? Take Autodesk, for example - that URL is very easy to infer as an Autodesk URL, but none of the enrichment providers got it. So if there's a way of inserting a website scraping step...?
Yes, absolutely. You can go to the enrichment panel by clicking the "add enrichment" button at the top right of the page and type "Scraping" from there you'll see a few. Regarding Autodesk, here's what's most likely happening: the domain isn't linked to their LinkedIn page, so the translation (domain -> LinkedIn) doesn't actually work.
Ok super helpful, thank you Bo!
Just closing this one out: I think you guys should seriously consider dropping DropContact from the integrations list. It is full of false positives (check out latest run here) - it takes a domain, and doesn't seem to validate (lots of 'this site doesn't exist'), and confidently says "yep I've found it".
Hey Phil! Thanks for sharing. We'll pass this over to the product team to evaluate. Apologies for the inconvenience🙏🏽.
