Currently, waterfalls in Clay don't have a direct option to set the output type as an array of objects. Waterfalls are typically used for single data points, with predefined data types like text, number, or URL. However, you can achieve this functionality by using a combination of a waterfall and the "Filter List of Objects" action: 1. Create a waterfall with a text output type. 2. After the waterfall, add a "Filter List of Objects" action. 3. Use the waterfall's output as input for the filter action. 4. The "Filtered Array" output of this action will be an array of objects.

how do i add a filter list of objects action
To add a "Filter List of Objects" action in Clay: 1. Look for the "Add Enrichment" or "Add Action" button in your workflow. 2. Search for or select "Filter List of Objects" from the available actions. 3. Configure the action with the following inputs: • Array of Objects: The list you want to filter • Filter Field: The object property to filter by (e.g., "type") • Filter Mode: How you want to filter (e.g., include or exclude) • Value(s): The specific value(s) to filter by, separated by commas The action will output a filtered array and the number of results.

For step 2, how do I know the list name? Is it the name of the waterfall output column?
It’s not being auto-populated in any way so I don’t know what the potential values are
For the "Filter List of Objects" action, the list name is typically the output of your previous step, which in this case would be the waterfall. The "Array of Objects" input for this action should be the name of the waterfall output column. When you set up a waterfall, it creates an output column in your table. You'll use this column name as the input for the "Array of Objects" field in the Filter List of Objects action. If you're unsure about the exact column name, you can check your table view to see the name of the waterfall output column. This name will be what you'll use in the Filter List of Objects action.

Hey, If you don’t see “array of objects” as an output type, you can work around it by using a formula column to structure the output the way you need. That gives you more control over the formatting, even if the option doesn’t appear directly. Let me know if you want help writing that formula!
