hey there, I am trying to get a list of people associated with a list of companies in Clay. However the built in tool only pulls about 20-40 people at a time. My list has about 500 companies. What is the best way to enable this for all companies in my list?
Hey there Vijeyta thanks for reaching out, could you post a link to the table where you are working on this so that we can take a look at it. Question do you happen to have any limits entered in when you are conducting the people search. That would be the limits that are found at the bottom of the "Find People" setup menu. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1241013701/0b1f93bba9503c1942cf92f26b26/image.png?expires=1730840400&signature=e792d6b158b6e4fb46fb48bb8518e81f3ab9234bf35910cacd2ae968eeb5e68a&req=dSIjF8l%2FnoZfWPMW1HO4zS86kVb8ZDWDuvInE%2B9dsCLZ8nhBZCXJqc6fkCdH%0A8dRb%0A
I am working off the table https://app.clay.com/workspaces/402415/workbooks/wb_ysAwXUZDhyyb/tables/t_5oXrGEHzRrxG/views/gv_BeWrwJavR485
and I have entered the limit to 5 per company
Hey there Vijeyta, was running some test with your table and by removing the company size filter that you have was able to get a few more results. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1241137664/4ed517b7ee8913ff4edfc638d972/image.png?expires=1730849400&signature=40c846da8ff7acc079d0390888ce9046f64b1977e58a81f81d69806aac1be248&req=dSIjF8h9modZXfMW1HO4zQ4wHRTqEeD63%2BnVRcxgybSWhRIWdLFhXy4QDc7S%0ArCiR%0A To provide a bit more context on the People Search: Clay does not receive data directly from LinkedIn, but rather integrate with multiple data providers that provide company/people data. The data you can access from our third-party data providers may include data that can also be found on LinkedIn. If you're looking for this type of data, we recommend starting with the "Find People"/"Find Company"/"find people from sales nav" sources. People data results have higher numbers in LinkedIn than in Clay, primarily because we don't use your live login session to get company/contact data and profiles that are restricted or set to private may be missed. Sales Nav has access to private profiles which is also why you might find more results here. Results from the people search typically get impacted by the following instances: 1. Inputting semantic search parameter instead of syntactic search: A limited set of job title keywords are applied to the role being targeted. Our search algorithms are based on syntactic search which means you must put every variation of the keywords you're looking for (ie CEO and Chief Executive Officer). When this happens, some matching profiles may be missed because they were not included in the search query. Sales Nav is able to do semantic search which is also helpful. 2. Mapping the wrong inputs in the people filters. For example, not mapping LinkedIn urls from the company table to run the search. 3. Search limits applied to the people search. This reduces the number of records that can be imported from a search. 4. Private profiles: As mentioned above our data providers use a multitude of ways to access people and company data. For the most part though, we don't use your cookie/login data. This means that we could miss some information here and there, especially if there are privacy restrictions in place for certain profiles. This would mean that your logged in profile has access to it, but our data providers may not. Sales Nav has access to private profiles which is also why you might find better data quality results here. All this being said, we're continuously working on improving our search algorithm/building the best growth tool possible and are always looking for feedback!
Thank you, i was able to get a list of contacts however the list looks small. I would like to find people for a list of companies that I have using lnkd, how do you recommend i do this?
Hi Vijeyta, thank you for reaching out. I do not believe you can simply export data from LinkedIn. However tools like Phantombuster & Apify.com have scrapers that can pull follower data and the results can be imported through the integration. However, both options use your live session cookies which may risk your LI account. Let me know if this helps. I found this actor, for example, which should get the job done for your specific use case. Apify integrates with Clay, so you'll be able to build tables based on Apify actor runs, or trigger actor runs at strategic points in your workflow. Here's how you can set up a Clay table from an Apify actor run: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1242399306/85d1b3e56b93679178112936dcef/CleanShot-2B2024-08-06-2Bat-2B15_48_57.gif?expires=1730929500&signature=b5b4a7f5f2f88a0dd9f6107f2ada056b591b71633c0ac404b9f1217c80b82c20&req=dSIjFMp3lIJfX%2FMW1HO4zdyvv5IinGm001wGJ%2FxwLWwdxqif6qRbb7A8IwGV%0Ap9tR%0A And here's how you can trigger an Apify actor in an active workflow: https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1242399304/7119105f5c570709c76620a35003/CleanShot-2B2024-08-07-2Bat-2B11_15_01.gif?expires=1730929500&signature=4018ce9b7af1ec72bfad9b5d9c50b161a182764ce78971fdfb588102d8565a28&req=dSIjFMp3lIJfXfMW1HO4zVAvrlyLcf9l0cbGRVLcYTP6Iz8mPyoUdpP04%2B5P%0AbCBi%0A For the trigger-based approach you'll likely have to study the documentation of the specific actor, to see what JSON payload it expects to trigger the run. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!
Gotit thanks!
what sources does the default Clay lookup tool for people use to get a list of contacts from list of companies?
It typically is specified by you ! :) Here's how the lookup works :) https://www.loom.com/share/ad767e3be9914d19a2f6647efe4dfa85?sid=c8b78c32-9bc1-4501-8124-d6c70d2218cf
