LinkedIn Integration with Clay: Free vs. Paid Options Explained

Questions regarding Clay & LinkedIn integration: My client wants to connect their LinkedIn to Clay and have their 1st connections come into Clay and enrich data like location, profile (AI prompt based on job title), etc. Is this possible with the free version of LinkedIn or does it require a paid LinkedIn license? Also, I then want Clay to push that information into Salesforce. Is that possible as well?

You can build lists from company and people sources for free on Clay - no paid license required. [1] List building/prospecting is completely free. [2]
However, enriching that data (location, profile details, etc.) costs Clay credits since we pay data providers for enrichment.
Yes, we integrate with Salesforce and can push enriched data there. [3] CRM integrations are free on our Pro plan. [4]
Before setting this up, try our built-in AI tool Sculptor (top-right corner) to help build your workflow - it's totally free and can guide you through the setup process.

You can connect your personal account to Clay for free - no paid license needed. [1]
Here's how it works: Go to Add enrichment > search for the integration > Select account > Add account and authenticate. [2] [3]
We also have a Chrome extension called "Clip to Clay" that lets you instantly send people from their profiles to a Clay table with one click, then automatically runs enrichments.
The key thing is you'll need either profile URLs or full names as your starting points for enrichment. [4]

So I need to have the LinkedIn Contact URL or their name populated prior? Can Clay just pull in my 1st connections once I integrate Clay and my LinkedIn account

Clay can't automatically pull your 1st connections from your personal account. [1] You need starting data points - either profile URLs or full names - to begin enrichment.
For Sales Navigator searches, you can import up to 2,500 results by pasting the search URL into our Find People feature.
The Clip to Clay Chrome extension helps speed this up - it lets you quickly save profile URLs from any profile page with one click.
