Overview
Clay has become the standard for RevOps and growth teams building custom enrichment workflows. It looks like a spreadsheet, but every column can call another data provider (Apollo, Cognism, LinkedIn, Google, GPT). Teams use it to build lists, enrich accounts with signals, and generate personalized cold email copy at scale.

Frequently asked questions
What is Clay used for?
Building enriched lead lists, running signal based workflows, and generating personalized cold email copy that then feeds into Smartlead, Instantly, or Outreach.

No, Clay handles data and drafting. You still need a sending tool like Smartlead or Instantly to actually run the campaign.
