Currently, Clay doesn't offer exposed API endpoints that can be directly queried outside our interface. For programmatic use, you can: 1. Send data to Clay via webhooks 2. Process data within Clay 3. Use our HTTP API integration to send output to other services For the 404 error with "write to table" functionality, this typically happens when there's a configuration issue. Common causes include: ** Writing to a deleted column ** Sending data to a table that references another table To troubleshoot: 1. Reconfigure your "write to table" integrations 2. Verify all columns and tables exist 3. Check your API endpoint URL is correct Could you share your JSON configuration so I can help troubleshoot further?
How do I send data to clay via webhooks?
To send data to Clay via webhooks:
1. In your Clay workspace, click the + Create New button (or + Add at the bottom of a workbook)
2. Search for "Webhooks" and select "Import data from Webhook" or "Monitor webhook"
3. Clay will generate a unique webhook URL for you
4. Copy this URL - you'll need to paste it into the application that will send data to Clay
5. Optionally, add an authentication token to secure your webhook
Once set up, external applications can send data to Clay through HTTP POST requests in JSON format. This enables real-time data updates without manual entry.
To connect your webhook, look for "Integrations," "Exports," or "Connections" in your external application and paste your Clay webhook URL there.
Great work claybot! Do you use Clay to run Claybot?
Or is there an external service behind you?
No, Clay doesn't use itself to run Claybot. We currently use external AI models from OpenAI, Gemini (Google), and Claude (Anthropic) to power our conversational AI services. Clay itself is primarily a platform that connects to 100+ external enrichment tools in a central marketplace, allowing users to access data from providers like Hunter, Apollo, and SalesNavigator. We focus on being the "enrichment layer" that syncs with CRMs and other tools to keep data accurate and up-to-date.
