are you planning to launch a feature where we have a list of do-not-contact companies? I want to ensure that we exclude all clients.

We already have a feature that allows you to exclude companies from your searches, including your existing clients. When using our Find Companies source, you can configure your search preferences to exclude specific companies. Here's how: 1. In the Find Companies source configuration, look for the "Exclude companies" option. 2. You can select a Clay table containing the companies you want to exclude from your search. 3. This is perfect for excluding existing clients or any other companies you don't want to contact. This feature ensures that your searches don't include companies you've already marked as do-not-contact, helping you maintain a clean and targeted prospecting list.

Theo, thanks for getting in touch. Could you tell me a bit more about how you might want to see this implemented? It sounds like you might want something like a dedicated "DNC table", and would perhaps want to reference that table in other columns/tables, as a reference on records to exclude/ignore if there's a match. I'm curious – could you let me know any specific use cases or workflows or challenges, where this would be especially helpful for you? I don't know of any immediate plans on this, but I can relay this to our product owners to digest and think on. Any additional context is welcome, so we can keep your situation in mind as we build out the roadmap.

I think the best way for this to be implemented would be:
1.
Have a default DNC list (ideally to be synced with your CRM)
2.
In all tables where you have the option to auto-enrich and dedupe to have the option to also exclude DNC list

Makes sense to me. It'd be great not to have to re-implement this in every table over and over again (e.g. setting up a lookup column to CRM or other source of truth), but more of a workspace-wide option. Appreciate you sharing this!

yeah as an agency we might find value in also having a few options (so I can select the right DNC list)

Oh yes, another great nuance there – thanks again, Theo!
