Hi Clay team! I'm trying to use the Salesforce lookup tool to find the SFDC Account associated with different company names. It successfully finds the names, but the data inside the Lookup Record is incomplete—it won't tell me the account owner. Mind helping out? https://app.clay.com/workspaces/20760/workbooks/wb_QQjpvbtpnEro/tables/t_9c2Y2HZ8AnJT/views/gv_k5poDT5UP2U7

Hi Julien, thanks for reaching out! I’m looking into this now—could you share a screenshot of the account owner property for one of the leads in your CRM that you’re trying to look up in Clay? Also, please point me to the specific lookup you're running in Clay for that person so we can investigate any discrepancies in detail.
it'd just be "Account Owner"
This would be row 13 under "Lookup Record" column
It did find the account owner ID (the long string of numbers and letters) so i created a custom column to transfer those to names
This is standard behavior in Salesforce—the owner is always associated with a Salesforce object ID. To retrieve the owner details, you'll need to perform an additional lookup targeting the user object, specifically matching it to the Salesforce object ID. In this case, you'll match it with the owner ID returned in the previous column. I set this up in your table and it seems to be working correctly!
thanks!
Happy to help here!
