Ensuring Sequential Steps in Clay Table Setup for Mobile Enrichment

Quick question to all you smart clay builders; In a clay table how can I set up something that make sure the next step does not happen until the entire run of for example mobile phone enrichment is done?

To ensure the next step doesn't proceed until the mobile phone enrichment is completed, you can use conditional runs in your Clay table. Here's how: 1. Go to the Run Settings of your mobile phone enrichment column. 2. In the "Only run if" box, add a conditional formula. 3. Use the "Use AI" button to create a condition that checks if the mobile phone field is empty or needs updating. This way, the enrichment will only run when necessary, and subsequent steps can be set up to run only after the mobile phone field is populated. For more detailed guidance on setting up conditional runs, you can check out our Clay University lesson on AI formulas and conditional runs.

To set up conditional formulas in the run settings of enrichment columns in a Clay table: 1. Go to the Run Settings of your enrichment column. 2. Find the "Only run if" box. 3. Add your conditional formula in this box. 4. Use the "Use AI" button for easier formula creation - you can input plain language instructions, and it will help define your conditions. This method ensures enrichments only run when specific conditions are met, helping you conserve credits by limiting enrichments to the most relevant rows. For example, you could set it to only enrich leads that meet certain criteria.

I got that, but how do I set up that formula correctly so that it waits until the run is completed?

To ensure the next step waits until the current run is completed in a Clay table, you don't need to set up a specific formula. Instead, you can use conditional runs, which automatically handle this sequencing. Here's how: 1. Go to the Run Settings of your enrichment column. 2. Find the "Only run if" box. 3. Use the "Use AI" button to create a condition that checks if the previous step is completed. For example, if you're running a mobile phone enrichment, you could set a condition to only run if the previous column is not empty or has a specific value. This approach ensures that each step only runs after the previous one is completed, effectively creating a sequence of operations.

You did hear back, but I fixed it thanks anyways 🙏
