How to Get JSON Output from Clay for External Systems

I need clay to give me an output as a literal block of json text, that I can send to another system. How do I make it give me the "copy json" format here, rather than the nested output?

To get a literal block of JSON text from Clay, use the "Copy JSON" button in the Cell details panel. This copies the cell's data as a JSON object to your clipboard, which you can then paste into another system. The copied JSON will reflect the structure and content shown in the Cell details, making it ready for use elsewhere. [1]

Yes but I need that as an output for every single cell

To output JSON for every cell automatically, set up an HTTP API enrichment in your Clay table. Add a new HTTP API enrichment, set the method to POST, and in the "Body" section, include the data you want as JSON using dynamic column names. This sends each row’s data as JSON to your endpoint, effectively automating the "copy JSON" output for every cell [1] [2] [3] .

hmmm sounds surprisingly complex. Is there no 4.1 nano step I can do to say "convert this to x json schema and return in a block of text" ?

Yes, you can use an AI enrichment in Clay to convert cell data to a specific JSON schema and return it as a block of text. When setting up the enrichment, choose the “JSON Schema” output option. This lets you define the exact structure you want, and the result will be a JSON-formatted block in the cell—no HTTP API required. This approach is ideal for structured, reusable outputs and works directly within your table workflow [1] [2].
