Clay Production Checklist

Overview

Complete checklist for launching Clay enrichment pipelines in production. Covers table configuration, credit budgeting, webhook reliability, CRM sync validation, and monitoring setup.

Prerequisites

• Clay table tested with sample data (100+ rows enriched successfully)
• CRM integration tested in staging
• Credit budget approved for monthly volume
• Team trained on Clay table management

Instructions

Phase 1: Table Configuration

• Table schema finalized -- all columns named, typed, and ordered
• Enrichment columns configured -- each column has correct provider and input mapping
• Waterfall configured -- providers ordered cheapest-first with "stop on first result"
• Auto-run settings verified -- table-level auto-update ON, column-level auto-run ON for needed columns
• Conditional run rules set -- enrichments only trigger when input data exists
• Formula columns tested -- ICP scoring and lead grading formulas validated
• AI/Claygent columns reviewed -- prompts produce consistent, quality output

Phase 2: Data Quality Gates

• Input validation in place -- scripts validate data before webhook submission
• Personal email filter -- gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc. blocked from enrichment
• Deduplication active -- duplicate records detected before sending to Clay
• Sample enrichment run completed -- 500+ row test with >60% email find rate
• Credit cost per row calculated -- know your average credits per enriched lead

// Pre-submission validation (run before pushing to Clay)
 (): { : []; : [] } {
   personalDomains = [, , , , ];
   seen =  <>();
   : [] = [];
   : [] = [];

   ( row  rows) {
     key = .();

     (!row.?.())
      rejected.({ row, :  });
      (personalDomains.( row..(d)))
      rejected.({ row, :  });
      (seen.(key))
      rejected.({ row, :  });
     {
      seen.(key);
      valid.(row);
    }
  }

  .();
   { valid, rejected };
