Understanding Daily Sync Timing for Scheduled Feature
For the scheduled sync feature, I've set it refresh daily on a table, but how does it determine what time of day it runs?
For the scheduled sync feature, I've set it refresh daily on a table, but how does it determine what time of day it runs?
When you set up a daily scheduled sync for a table in Clay, the system doesn't allow you to specify an exact time of day for the sync to occur. The feature is designed to run automatically on a daily basis, but the precise timing isn't configurable by users. To set up a daily sync: 1. Click the ⛭ icon on the top right of your table. 2. Under "Run the table", select "On a schedule". 3. Choose "Day" as the frequency. 4. Select whether to run all columns or only specific ones. Is there a specific reason you need the sync to occur at a particular time of day?
Yes — this table enriches from a form submission that lands in our CRM. The goal is to reach out to those contacts the same day they fill out the form. Something like this:
8am - customer fills out form
1pm - clay sync runs
1:15pm - sequencing tool has enriching to fire correctly
If that order isn't correct and the sync runs before the form fillout there is potential for a very long period before we reach out
If it's at a predictable time of day we can account for that though
Unfortunately, we don't offer the ability to set a specific time for daily scheduled syncs. Our system runs these syncs automatically within a 24-hour period, but the exact timing isn't configurable. By default, Clay syncs imports every 24 hours, triggering action runs that enrich and export updated fields. To work around this limitation, you might consider: 1. Running your form submissions more frequently (e.g., hourly if possible). 2. Adjusting your outreach workflow to account for potential delays. 3. Using a custom integration or webhook to trigger immediate updates when forms are submitted. If you need more precise control, you may want to request human assistance for further guidance on optimizing your workflow.

More detail on #3
To trigger immediate updates in Clay when forms are submitted, you can use webhooks. Here's how: 1. In Clay, create a new table or use an existing one. 2. Add a webhook source by clicking "Import Data from Webhook" or "Monitor webhook". 3. Copy the generated webhook URL. 4. In your form submission tool (e.g., Typeform), find the webhooks or integrations section. 5. Paste the Clay webhook URL as the destination for form submissions. This setup allows real-time data transfer to Clay whenever a form is submitted. If you need further assistance, you can request human help by clicking "Talk to a person" in this chat.

Can you make the webhook for one field type in hubspot
To create a webhook in Clay for a specific field type in HubSpot: 1. In Clay, add a new source by clicking "Import Data from Webhook". 2. Clay will generate a unique webhook URL for you. 3. Copy this URL. 4. In HubSpot, go to the Integrations or Webhooks section. 5. Set up a new webhook and paste the Clay URL. 6. Configure the webhook to trigger for the specific field type you want. Remember, you'll need to set up the corresponding field in your Clay table to receive the data. If you need help with specific HubSpot settings or field mappings, you might want to request human assistance for more detailed guidance.
