What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users overcome low work email coverage by setting up an automated "waterfall" of enrichment providers to find contact emails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Email Finding: Integrates with multiple email providers in a specified order to find work emails for contacts.
  • Coverage Optimization: Aims to achieve 85%+ email coverage, significantly higher than single-provider lookups.
  • Credit Efficiency: Only pays for providers that successfully find an email, with refunds for unused attempts.
  • Use Case: You have a list of 1000 leads with company domains but no email addresses. Use this skill to find work emails for at least 850 of them.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an email waterfall in Clay to maximize B2B lead coverage?

An email waterfall queries multiple enrichment providers in a specified sequence to locate work emails, stopping once a provider successfully returns a valid address to maximize B2B contact coverage and minimize wasted credits.

How does credit optimization work when running email enrichment waterfalls?

Credit optimization in email enrichment works by implementing conditional runs that only execute the next provider if the previous attempt fails, ensuring you only pay for providers that successfully find a valid work email.

Can I achieve 85%+ work email coverage using only company domains as input?

Yes, you can achieve 85%+ work email coverage using company domains by configuring a 6-provider email waterfall that sequentially attempts to find contact emails, provided the email field is empty before running.

What is the best way to order email enrichment providers for B2B data enrichment?

The best way to order email enrichment providers is by cost, setting up a waterfall that triggers the least expensive lookup first and cascading to more expensive options only when needed to optimize overall credit usage.

Why does my email waterfall enrichment not trigger for existing contacts?

Email waterfall enrichment does not trigger for existing contacts because the workflow implements a conditional run designed to only execute when the target email field is currently empty, preventing duplicate lookups and wasted credits.
