You can import PhantomBuster data into Clay using our integration. To pull LinkedIn comments data: Set up the connection: 1. Go to Settings > Connections 2. Click + Add Connection and select PhantomBuster 3. Enter your PhantomBuster API key Import the data: 1. In your table, click Add enrichment and search for PhantomBuster 2. Select Pull Data action 3. Choose your PhantomBuster account 4. Enter the Agent ID from your LinkedIn comments scraper 5. Optionally enable Only Fetch Latest Container for most recent results Make sure your PhantomBuster agent has successfully scraped the LinkedIn comments data before importing. The integration pulls whatever data your agent has collected.
Open your CSV from PhantomBuster Make sure column headers are clean: no special characters or emojis (e.g. Name “Name”) Ensure all rows have complete URLs (e.g. no missing https:// or broken LinkedIn links) Save file as UTF-8 CSV Go to Clay Upload CSV Map fields properly
Your CSV preparation steps are correct. For importing PhantomBuster CSV data into Clay: CSV Requirements: ** Use UTF-8 encoding ** Clean column headers (no special characters/emojis) ** Complete URLs in all rows ** Maximum 72 columns and 50,000 rows Import Process: 1.

Choose your PhantomBuster account (or add one if needed) 4. Enter your Agent ID from PhantomBuster 5. Optionally enable Only Fetch Latest Container for most recent results 6.
