Is there a step by step tutorial on how to write to another table?
Yes, here's how to write to another table. There are two main use cases with different steps:For List Mapping (breaking down lists into individual rows):1. Select your Clay account (get API key if needed) 2. Select a destination table in your workbook 3. Select the column containing the lists you want to map 4. Map the list properties to your new table columns 5. Optional: Configure run settings like auto-update and conditionsFor Column Mapping (copying columns between tables):1. Select your Clay account (get API key if needed) 2. Select a destination table in your workbook 3. Enter "/" to skip list selection 4. Select and match the columns you want to copy between tables 5. Optional: Configure run settings like auto-update and conditionsBefore starting, make sure you have your Clay API key ready for setting up the integration.

Nothing populates in my new column in the other table
This could be related to the update schedule, as the data transfer isn't always instantaneous. Here are a few things to check:1. Verify that you've completed all the mapping steps correctly: • Confirm your Clay account and API key are properly set up • Check that you've selected the correct destination table • Ensure your column mappings are properly configured 2. For the data to appear, you may need to: • Wait for the automatic refresh cycle • Manually trigger an update by clicking the column header and checking the sourcesIf you've verified these steps and still don't see any data, you may want to request help from a human agent to investigate your specific setup.

When using the Write to Table integration, only the header structure is copied initially, and the data transfer isn't automatic. To see your data in the 1Open Jobs table, you'll need to:1. Click "Add Enrichment" in the top right corner 2. Search for and select "Write to Table" integration 3. Map your existing data fields from the Candidates Table to the corresponding columns in your 1Open Jobs tableThis will properly transfer the information between tables.
can you give me the step by step instructions
Here are the step-by-step instructions to write data from the Candidates Table to the 1Open Jobs table:1. Click "Add Enrichment" in the top right corner 2. Search for and select "Write to Table" integration 3. Select your Clay account (if not already selected) 4. Choose "1Open Jobs" as your destination table 5. Enter "/" to skip the list selection (since you're doing column mapping, not list mapping) 6. Map your columns: • Select the columns from your Candidates Table • Match them to the corresponding columns in your 1Open Jobs table 7. Optional: Configure run settings • Enable "Auto-update" if you want new rows to be automatically enriched • Set up "Only run if" conditions if you want to control when the integration runs Source: Write to table integration overview | Clay University
i get an error that this would create a loop
A loop error typically occurs when tables are trying to reference each other in a circular way. To avoid this, you can try these approaches:1. Use conditional formulas to control when the Write to Table integration runs. Set up specific parameters in the "Only run if" settings to prevent continuous loops. 2. Instead of a direct write between tables, consider using the Lookup Multiple Rows integration to reference data between tables without creating a circular dependency.If you continue experiencing issues, you may need to review your table structure and ensure you're not creating circular references between your Candidates and 1Open Jobs tables.

how can i best learn how to do this is there a tutorial i can follow? I would really like to make this work 😭
Yes! You can follow our comprehensive Write to Table tutorial. Here's what you'll learn:For Column Mapping (copying data between tables):1. Click "Add Enrichment" and select "Write to Table" 2. Select your Clay account 3. Choose your destination table 4. Enter "/" to skip list selection 5. Map your columns by selecting source columns and matching them to destination columns 6. Use the "Only run if" settings to prevent loops by setting specific conditions for when the integration should runThis feature is particularly useful for "1 to many" data relationships, like linking companies to contacts or managing parent/child company relationshipsYou can find our detailed tutorial here: https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/write-to-table-clay-101 Sources: Write to table integration overview | Clay University Write to Table [Clay 101] - Clay University
i need like a specific example to follow i have tried this and i can't figure it out
Let me walk you through a practical example of using Write to Table with parent/child companies, which is a common "1 to many" relationship scenario.Here's the step-by-step process:1. Start by clicking "Add Enrichment" and selecting "Write to Table" 2. For Column Mapping (copying data between tables): • Select your Clay account • Choose your destination table • Enter "/" to skip list selection • Map your source columns to matching destination columnsFor example, if you have a Companies table with multiple subsidiary companies listed, you can:** Create a new table for child companies ** Use Write to Table to map each parent company's data to individual rows in the child companies table * Map relevant columns like company name, industry, and other detailsRemember to use the "Only run if" settings to control when the integration runs - this helps prevent those loops you mentioned earlier. This setting lets you set specific conditions for when the data should be copied.Would you like me to explain any specific part of this example in more detail?
