Optimizing Email Discovery for LinkedIn Contacts: Advice Needed

Ken Ducey · 2025-03-20 21:01:05.917348+00

Hello - Looking for advice on the optimum way to find emails for contacts that I have a LinkedIn Profile url for. I have about 1,500+ contacts which are business owners of companies less than 50 employees. I have their I have their personal linkedin profile, their company's name, and their company's linkedin url. The work email waterfall requires the company domain, not the LinkedIn Profile. If I use the "Enrich Person from Profile" it will cost me 2 credits to get the domain before I even run the email waterfall, and not sure that is the most accurate way to get the person's email anyway. I could also just use the personal email waterfall which I believe is about 7 credits each. I will be doing this a lot and looking for the most efficient way to start! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To efficiently find work emails using LinkedIn profile URLs in Clay, we recommend using the "Find Work Email from Profile URL" action with Findymail integration. This action requires only the LinkedIn URL as input and costs 2 credits per enriched cell. Alternatively, you could use the Dropcontact or Nimbler integrations, which also accept LinkedIn URLs as input. These options may have different credit costs, so compare them to find the most cost-effective solution for your needs. Remember, you can purchase credit top-ups at 50% more than your plan's typical cost per credit if you need additional credits.
