What this skill does
Clay Install & Auth Overview Clay is a web-based data enrichment platform — there is no SDK to install. Integration happens through webhook URLs (inbound data), HTTP API enrichment columns (outbound calls from Clay), and the Enterprise API (programmatic people/company lookups). This skill covers account setup, API key management, provider connections, and webhook configuration. Prerequisites Clay account at clay.com (free tier available) For Enterprise API: Enterprise plan subscription For webhook integration: HTTPS endpoint or tunneling tool (ngrok) Instructions Step 1: Get Your Clay API Key (Enterprise Only) Navigate to Settings > API in your Clay workspace. Copy your API key. Clay's Enterprise API is limited to people and company data lookups — it is not a general-purpose table API. Step 2: Configure Webhook Inbound Source Every Clay table can receive data via a unique webhook URL. This is the primary way to send data into Clay programmatically. 1. Open a Clay workbook (or create one) 2. Click + Add at the bottom of the table 3. Search for Webhooks and click Monitor webhook 4. Copy the generated webhook URL The record appears as a new row in your Clay table within seconds. Step 3: Connect Data Provider API Keys Clay supports 150+ enrichment providers.
