Issue with Adding Valid List for Claygent Contacts

Hi Team, I keep getting the error "Please add a valid list here." Claygent found contacts searching the domains, but I am unable to put them in a new table as it found more than one.

To resolve the "Please add a valid list here" error when adding contacts found by Claygent to a new table, you can use the "Write to Other Table" feature. Here's how: 1. Select your Clay account 2. Choose the destination table (ideally within your current workbook) 3. Select the column containing the list of contacts 4. Map the list data to your new table columns This process will map each item in your list to individual rows in the destination table, resolving the error you're experiencing. If you're still having trouble, try adding the list through the "Other data from this table" section. You can watch a video tutorial for guidance: https://cln.sh/DpHTlNt0

Yes, but it doesn't work. If I try using the original column, it says that "Please add a valid list here". If I add it as "Other data from this table", it simply copies entire cell, it doesn't split each contact in a separate row

To resolve the "Please add a valid list here" error and split contacts into separate rows in a new table, try these steps: 1. Use the "Extract Data From Values" feature to process your data. 2. Add a new column using the Forward Slash (/) command. 3. Apply a custom extraction Regex: [^,"]+"?[^,"]+ This will split the values into a list. 4. Once you have a proper list, use the "write to table" feature to map each item to individual rows in the destination table. If you're still having issues, you can watch a video tutorial for guidance: https://cln.sh/DpHTlNt0 Remember to select the column containing the list of contacts and map the list data to your new table columns when using the "write to table" feature.
