Clay Webhooks & Events

Overview

Clay's event-driven architecture has two webhook patterns: (1) Inbound webhooks -- you POST data into Clay tables via unique webhook URLs, and (2) Outbound HTTP API columns -- Clay POSTs enriched data to your endpoint after enrichment completes. This skill covers both patterns with production-ready handlers.

Prerequisites

• Clay table with webhook source configured (for inbound)
• Clay table with HTTP API enrichment column (for outbound)
• HTTPS endpoint accessible from the internet
• Familiarity with Express.js or similar framework

Instructions

Step 1: Inbound Webhook -- Send Data into Clay

Every Clay table has a unique webhook URL. When you POST JSON to this URL, a new row appears in the table.

// src/clay/inbound.ts — send data into Clay tables
class ClayInboundWebhook {
  constructor(
    private webhookUrl: string,
    private submissionCount: number = 0,
    private readonly LIMIT: number = 50_000,
  ) {}

  async sendRow(data: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<void> {
    if (this.submissionCount >= this.LIMIT) {
      throw new Error(`Webhook exhausted (${this.LIMIT} submissions). Create a new webhook in Clay.`);
    }

     res =  (., {
      : ,
      : { :  },
      : .(data),
    });

     (!res.) {
        ();
    }

    .++;
  }

   (: <, >[], delayMs = ): <{ : ; :  }> {
     sent = , failed = ;
     ( row  rows) {
       {
         .(row);
        sent++;
      }  {
        failed++;
      }
        ( (r, delayMs));
    }
     { sent, failed };
  }
}


 webhook =  (process..!);
 webhook.({
  : ,
  : ,
  : ,
  : ,
  : ,
});
