Hey our ops manager has connected our ChatGPT and Claude API key within clay but when I go to pick a model to use in teh "USE AI" feature it only shows us having linked 1 x model in each. He said he wasn't given an option to choose a model. How do we get them all to use our API key?
When you connect your API keys, you get access to one default model per provider, not all available models. This is normal behavior. [1]
To access different models from your connected API keys:
1.
Select the desired Model from the dropdown
2.
Click on the Account dropdown
3.
Select your connected API key account instead of the Clay-managed account
The models you see listed (like Claude 4.5 Haiku, GPT 5.1 reasoning, etc.) should become available when you switch to your own API key account in the Account dropdown. Your ops manager connected the keys correctly - you just need to select your account when choosing models. [2]
Exactly right! When you use your own OpenAI API key (like "Cake OpenAI"), it won't consume any Clay credits.
You'll be charged directly through your OpenAI account instead of using Clay credits. This applies to all external API keys - OpenAI, Anthropic, email providers, etc. [1] Clay only charges credits when you use our managed API keys.
