@lanre_akinyemi @adityavsc Thanks aditya! Check out our product hunt integrations: https://www.loom.com/share/aa520...
@adam_eldefrawy you guys are wild!! I may never visit Periscope again for small stuff 🙈
Hello Product Hunt! Kareem here, co-founder @ Clay.com. Today, we are excited to share Clay with you — a new type of product that brings hard-to-connect data sources together to build live lists of people and companies.
Big thanks to @nickabouzeid for hunting, and for being one of our earliest users at Clay ✨!
Our mission is to give more people the power to program. In speaking with our community, we found that for too long, sales, marketing and recruiting teams have been working with bad data, relying on manual work or requesting engineering time to build the workflows they need. Now, these teams can build their dream lists and automations in minutes without any code required.
It’s been great to see some of our earliest users mold Clay to their specific use cases. Here are a few cool examples that demonstrate what you can do with Clay:
🛠 Growth: You can stream in email signups from Hubspot, add data from LinkedIn (things like title, company, etc.), see if those companies are hiring for certain roles (via Google Jobs) or what their tech stack looks like (via BuiltWith), and then create automations based off the criteria that matters to you.
🎨 Sales: You could start by searching LinkedIn directly from Clay, add emails and phone numbers from sources like Clearbit and Hunter.io, create your own sales qualifying formula, and then sync back any qualified leads to your CRM or marketing platform.
📚 Recruiting: You can stream in Twitter followers (or even threads and DMs!) and Github stargazers to a table, filter the bios for keywords like engineer or iOS, match to LinkedIn profiles, and then connect to Lever or your email client.
For a limited time, we’ve removed our waitlist to let the Product Hunt community get creative with Clay. We can’t wait to see what you build! ✨
P.S. Here is a Google Page https://docs.google.com/document... where anyone can submit feature requests, bugs or feedback. Excited to build this together!
P.P.S. We’re just getting started! For more adventurous hackers, our Chrome extension https://docs.clay.com/how-to-use...
makes it possible for anyone to “map” a webpage so that eventually, when every page on the internet is mapped, no one will have to waste time scraping data again! We have a big vision and a lot of work ahead of us, let us know if you’re interested in helping us get there **⚡**
That's an extremely interesting product! Also I love the design 😍
Congratulations on the launch!
Great work! Your team has done a tremendous job shipping an unbelievable product and one I have used extensively. For anyone who has not used Clay, please go try it out for yourself right now…it’s SUPER powerful!!
@kogz thanks Jonathan! It's been a joy having you as an early user -- and seeing all the wild things you're building on clay 💫
@nickabouzeid @kareemamin Congrats guys. It's been a pleasure seeing your journey.
Looks super easy to use for a fantastic application in everyday working life. I need this kind of tool in my life!
@maxine_buchert Thanks Maxine, it should be super simple to get started. Add a people table, paste in a linkedin url, or github url, or twitter url, or an email and get going with lots of information right away!
This looks super cool, excited to play around with it! Particularly hyped about the Chrome Extension to crowdsource web scraping so we can “map the internet” - sounds like it can be super useful!
One question about that: how would y’all make sure that the scrapers stay up to date as websites change?
@hirday_gupta Great question! You can edit the mappings to keep it up-to-date, and since you update for yourself you are also helping out the community at the same time. We'll eventually figure out a way to reward people for doing this first!
@hirday_gupta Hey Hirday! Definitely, I use the extension's scraping a lot myself as well!
As for keeping the scrapers updated, we can't 100% prevent the scrapers breaking with website changes. The selecting and scraping logic is built to be as flexible as possible, but websites sometimes change enough to break those as well.
IMO the beauty with the extension is that it's insanely easy to reconfigure the scrapers so that whenever someone sees something that's broken they can update it themselves in a few seconds!
I've been using Clay for awhile and it's really Airtable for Sales. It's an amazing tool that will help you mix and match and enrich to your heart's desire. I do cold outbound systems for startups (blueprintdata.io) and I can tell you that 90% of your time should be spent on list building and clay gives mere mortals the ability to mix and match data so you can speak to your prospect's pains. It's an awesome tool and I highly suggest you gift it to your sales team!
@inventitorfixit Thank you for such a kind note. Really appreciate it Jordan. We're glad to have you as an early user 😊
@inventitorfixit we appreciate you Jordan! And all the brilliant feedback you've shared along the way -- excited to work with Blueprint.io as well 💫
Wow, that looks insanely cool! 🤩 (Also the clay images/animations on your site btw) What's the pricing? Am I perhaps overlooking it or don't you mention it on your site? 🤔
@stevedejo We're still working out the self-serve plans pricing so you have to contact us right now to sign up for the pro plan. It'll be based on the number of records that you enrich per month. We'll have clearer self-serve pricing on the site soon!
I hate spreadSHITS, but this product has honestly made data SO playful for us. I run a small company and we have been using Clay for over a year now to build out data sets for our outreach needs. As a non-coder, I absolutely love the minimalist and highly functional design. Curious to see what other tools/integrations come out of Clay in the near future (Shopify?). Congrats and high fives to the team!
@puneet_sabharwal spreadshits! 😂 I lived in those excel shits for so long, they’re like cheap itchy sheets that were left behind in a dorm room and bought for $12 at target in 2002.
Clay seems like the next gen sheets as they should be: high thread count, Egyptian, buttery, silky sheets that are a joy to slide into…

@maiale Hey Matt, this looks awesome and as someone who spends way too much time doing desktop research for clients and new business pitches, my wheels are turning. Do you have anyone using Clay for market research or competitive analysis? Or more specifically, could Clay potentially replace a social listening tool like Brandwatch? TIA!
@laura_ciocia1 hey Laura, we can definitely do that and people have been using it for market research and analysis. You can scrape other websites and see if the team has been growing or if they have published new blog posts or many other things. Send me a note -- kareem at clay.run and we can chat about use cases that you're thinking of
Wow! Always wanted something like this, curious to know what all I can do with this. Good work @theoszymkowiak @nashilu_mouen1 @nicolaerusan and thanks for hunting this @nickabouzeid
@rachit_bhatt1 Thanks Rachit! Take a look at our Docs: docs.clay.com we have a bunch of tutorials as well as ideas for how to get started. After that you'll be able to reason by analogy and come up with a bunch of use cases
@theoszymkowiak @nicolaerusan @nickabouzeid @rachit_bhatt1 Thanks Rachit! Would love to help you build brilliant things -- there's very little Clay can't do 💫
Major fan of Clay and the team! A V-Look-up for the internet, yes please! Has massively helped out our outreach efforts on multiple fronts.
Was just checking Clay out this weekend after seeing you as a partner on Makerpad, the part where I could add enrichments felt pretty useful. Excited to try it out now that you've opened up access.
@jollygoodgooner Sweet! Yeah excited to have you try it out, the enrichments are pretty powerful and we are going to add a bunch more sources (to add rows) and integrations to postgres dbs and other data warehouses soon
@jollygoodgooner Nice! Excited to have you Sumaer, let us know if you have any feedback 💫
Clay is pure magic. I've been using since the beta and it fills data so fast that you almost can't believe it. ⚡️
@borisandcrispin I'll make sure to let the team know they'll really appreciate hearing that!
Huge fan of this product and the team! This is a massive help for anyone doing prospecting, recruiting or a similar task. Massive time saver!
Wow - echoing what others have said, what a fantastic concept!
I think I found a bug 🐞 though - halfway down the 'meet clay' page under the "Start building workflows in minutes" header, I tried submitting after selecting 'user signups' as an option, but nothing happened.
@shilohjohnson Thanks so much for pointing out Shiloh :) that is fixed now!
Top product of the day... no surprises here.
Amazing UI from iteration 0.
The first major front-end update was an artwork of usability.
Managing more functionalities while removing moving parts is what genius product design is.
And the speed of it.
Holy frap!
Makes you feel guilty as if you are committing a crime by cutting corners.
Majestic beauty
Sheer power
Lightning fast
Thank you so much people for putting your soul into building Clay
@dragondelis Wow thanks! Really appreciate the kind words, this helps us stay motivated, so many great things coming up
@dragondelis it's soul work! Just create to make magic with folks, thank you so much Dragondelis
As a marketer, this !product reminds me of tools like Airtable and Zapier that have made my job easier. It seems like the ?makers have created something new that is very user-friendly with key integrations. Errors are inevitable with manual data input; Clay appears to have addressed the problem in a simple way. Looking forward to checking it out.
@tonypham Thanks Tony, that's exactly what we were going for, to allow people to automate away manual data-entry and get creative with what data sources you use to enrich your sign-ups, find new sales leads, or recruiting candidates!
@tonypham Excited to hear what you think Tony! Please do share what could help you even more when you do get started with Clay.
@imchauncey Nice to see you here!! The Chrome extension saves my life in LinkedIn and a lot of other surprising websites.
@jon_perl1 Thanks Jon, we learned a ton from the feedback your team has been giving us on where to focus to build a low-code, flexible tool for growth
Trying to understand how this works so well makes my brain hurt...that's similarly how I feel when working within sheets and converting data into CSV format to upload 😂 Thanks for creating such a wicked product!
I have been waiting for a product like this for a long time. Super excited to try this out. Great work @kareemamin and team!!
@amanda_peyton Thanks Amanda! Excited for you to try it out too, and appreciate your support
