Ensuring Regular Updates to Job Changes Table in Tracker System

Hello, when using Job Changes, how can I make sure that the Job Changes table is being updated regularly? I did an experiment and created a "data source" table with one row first then created a "Job Change tracker - Main" that picked up a job change for the test row. After I added more rows, the "Main" table wasn't updated, but the "Secondary" table I created after did.

By default, new rows added to your data source table should automatically trigger updates in the Job Changes table. Here's how to ensure it works properly: 1. When setting up the Job Change tracker: • Select your source table in the "People Table" field • Choose the column containing LinkedIn URLs in the "People LinkedIn URLs to Monitor" field 2. Make sure auto-update is enabled for your table. This setting allows Clay to automatically process any new rows added to your table. You can verify this by: • Checking the "Run Settings" in your table • Confirming that auto-update is toggled onIf you're still experiencing issues with new rows not being detected, you may need to manually run the job change tracking action on the newly added rows.

Here's how to resolve the Job Changes table update issue: 1. For tracking future job changes: • Only provide the "Person LinkedIn URL" column • Do not include the "Company LinkedIn URL" column, as this is only needed for historical checks 2. Verify your auto-update settings: • Open your table settings dropdown • Check if auto-update is enabled • If disabled, select "Enable Auto-update" to ensure the table automatically runs when rows are added or edited 3. If you want to check historical job changes: • Include both the "Person LinkedIn URL" and "Company LinkedIn URL" columns • This will generate job change events if the current company differs from the provided oneIf you're still experiencing issues after trying these steps, you may want to request human support for further assistance.

Hey Dasha! Job change tracking works in a specific way - it'll only monitor the data that was in your source table when you first created the job signal. To track new additions delete this Signal table and add all the contacts you want to monitor to your source table, then set up the job signal tracking. From there the source will update periodically. Let me know if you need help with this!

Thanks Bo! Just to clarify: when new rows are added to the source (people) table, they won't be considered by the original job changes table? In a way, job changes monitoring works off a static list that cannot be modified?

Exactly! Job changes monitoring works off the original static list at the time it’s set up. Any new rows added to the source (people) table won’t be automatically considered by the original job changes table. If you want to include new rows, you’d need to create a new monitoring table or update the existing one manually. Let me know if you’d like help setting that up!
