This error typically occurs when you're trying to use a column that has been deleted as an input for finding LinkedIn URLs. When columns are deleted in Clay, they cannot be recovered and will need to be re-created.To resolve this issue: 1. Re-create the necessary input column for your company names 2. Re-import your CSV data into the new column 3. Set up the LinkedIn URL enrichment using the new column as inputPlease note that deleted columns cannot be recovered automatically - they need to be manually re-created and the data needs to be re-fetched from its providers.If you need further assistance with this issue, please don't hesitate to ask for more help. You can also request human assistance by clicking on "Talk to a person" if you require additional support.

Talk to a human. That did not resolve the issue. I reimported the csv file without moving columns and the preview shows good results but it will not run: https://app.clay.com/workspaces/445394/tables/t_fGYZFfSPZBws/views/gv_JZjiCTGb53Zb

Could you please send the URL again? I believe the issue might eb related to what column you are calling but to better investigate I would need the URL

Hi Adam, that seemed to be a glitch, take a look at your table now. I just deleted the /Company Name in the prompt and rewrote /Company Name again. This seems to have solved the issue. Let me know if this helps!

Stefano i had a list of 100 companies. I did a "find people from these companies." It only came up with 31 line items when I maxed it out at 3 people per company. was it unable to find people at most of the companies? Why didn't it come up with more people?
