Hey @Quentin R. We keep experiencing this issue in Clay, usually when re-running the people search, the Table ID comes in empty and the Company Table column is in Missing input. I have noticed it for many clients now

This "Missing input" error in your Company Table Data column happens when the Find People process can't find the required company identifiers (like domain names or company URLs) to link back to your company table.
Here's how to fix it:
Check your company table setup:
Make sure your company table has complete domain names or company URLs
Verify the Table Reference is pointing to the correct company table
Ensure the Company Identifier field is properly mapped to LinkedIn URLs or domains [1]
For the missing rows specifically:
Open each flagged row and add the missing company domain
Update your column settings to ensure correct input fields are selected
Save and rerun the enrichment
Important note: When you re-run people searches, Clay doesn't automatically update previous results. You need to delete and re-run the step or duplicate the table to see updated results. [2]
The issue likely stems from incomplete company data in your source table that's preventing proper linking between your people and company tables.

This is the same "Missing input" issue affecting multiple tables. The problem is systematic - your Company Table Data column can't find the required company identifiers to link people back to your company table.
Since this is happening across tables, check your company table setup:
Verify all company domains/URLs are complete
Ensure the Table Reference points to the correct company table
Confirm the Company Identifier field maps properly to domains or company URLs
For the affected rows, you'll need to rerun the company lookup column after fixing the missing company data. When you add new company data, just rerun the lookup column to refresh the connection. [1]
The key issue is that Clay doesn't automatically update previous results when you change source data - you need to manually rerun the affected columns. [2]

Hey Lulian! Clicking into the cell, I see that the company table ID field is missing because you're most likely selecting "List of company identifiers" instead of "Clay table of companies" when setting up your Find People search.
Assuming these tables were not removed, when creating your Find People search, select "Clay table of companies" instead
1.
You'll then see table reference options where you can:
Choose your company table
Select the column containing your company identifiers (like domains or LinkedIn URLs)
Choose the correct view selection

Hey Andrew Q. I have just re-run the table, for multiple clients and this keeps happening. As you can see in the picture I cannot even touch the source of the people search. It is happening on all old tables when I try to refresh the people search and I guarantee that I have the companies and the domains in there
