Clay

👋 Say hello to our new Chrome Extension.

‍

Many of you are familiar with the Clay Chrome Extension — perfect for turning pages of unstructured data into structured lists. Last month, we invited our community to test out the beta, bringing Clay even closer to the browser by allowing you to map entire webpages yourself. Your feedback was formative, and we are giddy to share that the new extension is now live and available for download in the Google Chrome store.

Some new enhancements include:

• Map your own lists. If a list isn't detected or you want to pull in a few more attributes, you can now map your own lists and export them to Clay.

• ‍Map page recipes. Instead of manually copy-pasting the same data from similarly structured pages into your table, pull important attributes from any website into Clay using just a URL.

• More precise list auto-detection. See a list you like on a website? Pop open the extension to check if it's been auto-detected, now with cleaner, better results.

⚽️ Golazo, aka Score.

Seeing our users set up powerful outbound and inbound workflows, we've learned first hand that backlogs of leads are a headache and a half to prioritize. If you're sitting on a backlog of people, emails or companies, Clay's powerful Formula column can now automate away the endless hours spent weeding out the unfit.

Codify any conditions to automatically identify and take action on high quality leads, whether updating a lifecycle stage, adding to an email sequence, or pushing to a qualified leads table. Here is a little glimpse of what you can do:

📓 More inspirations for your automations

We're continuing to build out our library of Sources (streaming live data in to your table), based on your requests and some of our communities best workflows, including most recently:

• Linkedin People Search. Populate your table by querying for relevant people on Linkedin, searching for the presence of specific data in their profiles e.g. skills, experience keywords.
• Google Search. Start your table by streaming in top search results for any Google search query, e.g. specific SEO terms.
• Owler Competitor. Populate your table with a list of up to 50 competitors for a given company domain.

And for those who like to zoom straight through to contacts, we recently released the long awaited...

• Zoom info — Find and enrich contact details with ZoomInfo (requires your own API key).

• Boolean action inputs. Fixed a bug that reverted back a boolean switch in an action's settings
