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?

Stefano i think i see what happened here. Since i'm in a free version i'm maxed at 100 to find people in a search.

Hi Adam, I believe that is the case. On a free trial we limit the searches to 100 people. If you wish to upgrade your account and get more people from your searches, feel free to look at the options in https://www.clay.com/pricing. Let me know if this helps!
