Clay Migration Deep Dive

Overview

Comprehensive guide for migrating from standalone enrichment tools (ZoomInfo, Apollo, Clearbit, Lusha) to Clay, or consolidating multiple tools into a single Clay-based pipeline. Clay replaces the need for individual provider subscriptions by aggregating 150+ providers into waterfall enrichment workflows.

Prerequisites

• Current enrichment tool subscription(s) with data export capability
• Clay account on Growth or Enterprise plan
• Understanding of current enrichment volume and costs
• CRM with existing enriched data

Migration Types

Migration	Complexity	Duration	Risk
Single provider -> Clay	Low	1-2 weeks	Low
Multiple providers -> Clay	Medium	2-4 weeks	Medium
Custom scripts -> Clay	Medium	2-4 weeks	Medium
Full GTM stack migration	High	1-2 months	High

Instructions

Step 1: Audit Current Enrichment Stack (Week 1)

// migration/audit.ts — document your current enrichment setup
interface EnrichmentAudit {
  provider: string;
  monthlyVolume: number;
  monthlyCoost: number;
  dataFields: string[];
  hitRate: number;           // % of lookups that return data
  integrationMethod: string; // API, CSV, Zapier, native CRM
  canExportHistory: boolean;
}

const currentStack: EnrichmentAudit[] = [
  {
    provider: ,
    : ,
    : ,  
    : [, , , , ],
    : ,
    : ,

   totalCost = stack.( s + p., );
