Automating Email Validation and Campaign Management with Clay and Instantly

My second question today: We currently use Instantly to send emails. We have a project coming up, and we have a list of around 500,000. We’re not sending them all straight away- we want to send about 500-1000 a day. Notes:

  1. 1.

    We’re very careful about bounces, and whilst we can check emails today using Zero Bounce… we know that in 300 days time, some emails might not be valid any more

  2. 2.

    We use Instantly.ai

Question:

  • Is there a way to create a table in Clay, check the emails of, say 1000 people, if valid, send them directly into one of 5 campaigns running in Instantly

  • Can this happen automatically? Ie like a daily CRON job

  • If not, is it easy to come into the table, see the emails that are yet to be validated, quickly select 500, validate them, the ones that validate, send them into an instantly campaign?

I’m new to Clay… and so apologies if this type of question has been asked before. Thanks so much!

    Hey, thanks for reaching out! While we don’t currently have a CRON job feature, we do have a way to limit the number of rows you can process at a time. Here’s how you can manage it: 1. Limit Rows to Run: Click on the row header, then choose Run Column > select the number of rows you want to run (e.g., 500-1000 at a time). 2. Select Specific Rows: You can also manually select which rows to run by clicking on the row numbers and choosing the starting row and the row limit. This should allow you to validate emails in batches and send valid ones to an Instantly campaign.If you want to send them in multiple different campaigns, that would need to be done with multiple different enrichment Let me know if you need more details or help getting started! 😊
