While we don't have a built-in delay feature, you can use conditional runs to control when the Salesforce add contact enrichment runs. Here's how: 1. Create a new column for your automation status. 2. Set up a conditional run for the Salesforce enrichment. 3. Use an AI formula that checks if the automation status is complete. This way, the enrichment will only run after your automation has finished. If you need more specific guidance on setting this up, please let me know, and I'd be happy to provide more details.

Hey Devon, thanks for reaching out. While we cannot directly introduce delayed runs in Clay, we can use external tools to simulate a delay in the workflow. One solution would be to add an intermediate HTTP API column (or multiple) to introduce a delay in your process. For example, you can use the URL: https://postman-echo.com/delay/40 (replace “40” with the desired number of seconds for the delay). This will cause Clay to pause for the specified time before proceeding, helping to ensure that the Instantly→HubSpot sync has completed before Clay makes its call. This approach works by adding an extra column that forces a delay of at least the number of seconds you set. Also curious if we could setup some conditional formula to not run unless the data you're looking for exists, would love to take a look at the table to confirm this! :) If you’d like further assistance setting this up, let me know!
