Yes! When building a Claygent, you can make inputs optional using the Required to Run toggle in the Prompt Editor. [1]
Here's how:
1. Open the Prompt Editor for your Claygent
2. Find the field you want to make optional
3. Toggle off Required to Run next to that field
4. Save your configuration
When Required to Run is disabled, the Claygent will still execute even if that field is empty. When it's enabled, the cell gets skipped if the referenced field doesn't contain a value.
This helps you avoid errors from incomplete rows while still allowing your Claygent to run with partial data.
This doesn't seem to work the same way when building a Claygent – input variables are wrapped in double brackets, so there's no toggle next to the variable to switch on or off.
You're right - Claygents work differently than other AI enrichments. For Claygents, you can't make individual input variables optional using the Required to Run toggle like you can with other prompt editors.
Instead, you'll need to use conditional runs to control when your Claygent executes. Set up a conditional run by going to your Claygent column settings, enabling "Only run if" under Run settings, and creating a condition that checks if your required fields have data. [1]
For example, you could set it to only run if your key input fields are not empty, which gives you similar control over when the Claygent processes rows.
