Preventing Empty Inputs in AI Data Searches for LinkedIn Posts

Joey W. · 2025-01-28 14:50:14.253486+00

Hi Team, is there a way to prevent a row from running if some of the inputs are empty? EG; I scraped prospects last 10 Linkeidn posts. I then have AI search each of them for specific phrases/keywords. I try to do this in one prompt, however it doesn't run unless each person has all 10 linkedin posts avialable. Is there a better way to search this data at scale?

You can use conditional formulas to handle empty inputs and optimize your LinkedIn post search workflow. Here's how: 1. Set up conditional runs for your AI search: • Go to the enrichment panel's "Run Settings" section • Use the conditional formula feature to check for empty fields • You can either type the formula manually or use the AI assistant to generate it 2. For handling empty fields, implement error handling in your conditional formula: • Use IF statements to check for blank or missing data • Set up default behaviors when fields are emptyFor searching LinkedIn posts at scale more effectively, consider these alternatives since Clay's post data comes from public web scraping: 1. Use Apify or Phantombuster integrations to gather more comprehensive post data 2. Try Claygent with advanced AI models like Argon or GPT-4 for better resultsNote that post availability may be limited for private accounts or inactive profiles.

Hey there, thanks for reaching out! Absolutely, keeping this blue on/off button toggled to on will require inputs to be available in order to run the cell. If you toggle this button to off, the input will not be required. Meaning, this person could only have one LinkedIn post, and the cell would run. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. :) https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1354981942/2e9148c7923ac820ad9cd51296b1/CleanShot+2025-01-28+at+10_51_13%402x.png?expires=1738081800&signature=3611caf17e788e51ca13470231ec8e0e0b3aa1ea8623d879d26330573a6e21ae&req=dSMiEsB2nIhbW%2FMW1HO4zU0rIcne1hM6QWw9OmPs9KzOlMgECqxE2rlthYOS%0AcoCU%0A
