To set up conditional logic for a column to run after another column finishes and is empty: 1. Go to Run Settings of your target column and use the "Only run if" condition 2. Use this formula to check if the previous column is complete and empty: LBKSClay.getCellStatus(#{{field_id}}) == "completed" AND {{previous_column}} == ""LBKS3. Alternative approach: Create a formula column first using Clay.getCellStatus({{field_id}}) to check completion status, then reference that in your conditional run Tip: Use the "Use AI" button in the conditional formula box to input plain language instructions like "Only run if Column A is finished and empty" This ensures your column only runs when the previous column has completed processing and returned no data

Yes, exactly! At the bottom of any enrichment column's configuration, you'll find the Run Settings section where you can add conditional run logic. In the "Only run if" box, you can add formulas to control when the enrichment runs. You can either: - Type the formula manually - Click "Use AI" and describe your condition in plain language This allows you to create if/then logic so columns only run when specific conditions are met, helping save credits and control workflow sequencing.
