Exploring Time Delay Solutions: Make, Zapier, or Python Scripts?
How are you all adding time delays if needed? Make or Zapier? I just wrote a python script to handle it but I would love to know what everyone else is doing.
You can use both Zapier and Make.com to handle time delays when working with Clay data. Here's how to set it up: 1. Using Webhooks with Zapier: ā¢ Set up a webhook in Clay by selecting "Import data from Webhook" from the "Other" section ā¢ Create a new Zap and use "Webhooks by Zapier" as your trigger ā¢ Configure your desired delay using Zapier's delay actions ā¢ Use the Clay action to send data back to your table 2. For sending data to Clay: ā¢ Add the Clay action to your Zap ā¢ Connect your Clay account using your API key (found in Settings > Account > API key) ā¢ Configure the action settings to specify your workspace and table 3. For sending Clay data to Zapier: ā¢ Create a new Zap ā¢ Use "Webhooks by Zapier" with "Catch Hook" as the trigger ā¢ Copy and use the webhook URL provided by ZapierThis setup allows you to create automated workflows with customized time delays between actions.

We don't have specific information about using delay modules on Make to handle time delays with Clay. However, we can provide some general tips for addressing processing delays in Clay: 1. Ensure your search queries are specific and well-defined. 2. Break large data requests into smaller batches. 3. Monitor your usage limits, tiers, and API quotas. 4. Check your network connection stability.These steps can help optimize your Clay workflows and potentially reduce the need for external delay mechanisms.To better assist you, could you provide more details about the specific task or workflow you're trying to accomplish with Clay and Make?
JavĀ·Ā·Yeah I did
Great! I'm here if you need any further assistance.
When working with Clay, here are some recommended approaches for handling processing delays: ā¢ Make your search queries specific and well-definedā¢ Break down large data requests into smaller batchesā¢ Keep track of your usage limits, tiers and API quotasā¢ Ensure your network connection is stableThese best practices can help optimize your Clay workflows and manage processing times effectively. If you're experiencing specific processing challenges, you may want to consider implementing these optimization techniques before adding external delay mechanisms.
