does Clay have an API so that I can send data to a clay table and it can automatically run clay automations in that table?

    Yes, you can send data to Clay tables and trigger automations through webhooks. While Clay doesn't offer directly exposed API endpoints, you can:1. Use webhooks to automatically import data into Clay tables: ā€¢ Set up a webhook endpoint in Clay by creating a new "Import data from Webhook" source ā€¢ Copy the generated endpoint ā€¢ Connect it to your automation tool (like Zapier or Make.com) 2. Once data is in Clay, you can: ā€¢ Enrich and process the data within Clay as needed ā€¢ Use the HTTP API integration to send processed data back to other servicesFor example, you could set up a system to automatically push data to a Clay table, have it enriched, and then use it for further processing or personalized messaging.

    Yes, you can send data to Clay using webhooks! Here's how to set it up:1. On your Clay homepage, click the "+ Create New" button 2. Scroll to the "Other" section and select "Import data from Webhook" 3. Choose an existing table or create a new one for your data 4. Once set up, you'll get a webhook URL to useYou can then paste this URL into any application that will be sending data to Clay. For added security, you can include an authentication token in the header of your request using the key "x-clay-webhook-auth".Keep in mind that while you can send data to Clay via webhooks, you can also use our HTTP API integration to pass output data to other services after processing it within Clay.

    Hey Sarah, Clay doesn't have an external/traditional API to call Clay outside of the main UI. As Muhammad mentioned (thanks for chiming in!), webhooks would be a great way to send data into a Clay table. In addition to the earlier doc, here's a good video walkthrough, on the use case of sending form submissions into Clay. https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/intro-to-typeforms-webhooks-and-inbound-lead-sources-automated-inbound Happy to suggest on other scenarios you have in mind!
