    We don't directly connect with email inboxes for trigger-based automation. Instead, we integrate with email sequencers and CRM systems to handle outbound communications. You can use our integrations with tools like Smartlead, Instantly, Salesloft, Outreach, and Hubspot for email campaigns. If you need custom functionality, you can build integrations using our HTTP API to connect with your preferred tools. Sources: How do I send emails with Clay? - FAQ | Clay.com FAQ | Clay.com

    Hey Shwetha! Thanks for reaching out. Clay can't connect directly with email inboxes, but you could connect to an external tool via HTTP API (if sending data) or via webhook (if importing data) through tools like Zapier or Make.com. Here's a quick guide: - https://docs.clay.com/en/articles/9730014-import-data-to-clay-using-webhooks - Here's a video showing a few automations you can set up in Clay (webhook example in the first few minutes of this video): https://youtu.be/yw5paDolwTQ?feature=shared Could you share a bit more info about what you're looking to send over?
