Clay integration

Connect your Hunter account to Clay and use the Domain Search, Email Finder, and Email Verifier enrichments directly inside Clay tables to find and verify emails.

You can use Hunter inside Clay to find and verify emails: connect your Hunter API key once, then add Domain Search, Email Finder or Email Verifier as enrichment columns in any Clay table. Clay is a platform that automates parts of lead generation and enrichment.

You will have three options:

  1. "Find emails by company": which uses the Domain Search,

  2. "Find work email": which is the Email Finder,

  3. "Validate email": this leverages the Email Verifier.

After you add an enrichment column, you can run the enrichment task, and Hunter’s data will populate your table.

What you can do with Hunter in Clay

  • Find emails for a list of companies with "Find emails by company" (Domain Search). You can filter by department.

  • Find one person’s email from their name and company domain with "Find work email" (Email Finder).

  • Check emails you already have with "Validate email" (Email Verifier).

  • Use Hunter as one step in a Clay waterfall. Clay can try several data providers in turn to improve coverage, and Hunter can be one of them.

Which credits are used

  • With your own Hunter API key, enrichments run on your Hunter account and use Hunter credits at the usual rates. See How do credits work in Hunter?

  • With Clay’s managed Hunter account, Clay charges its own credits, not Hunter’s. Clay sets that price, so check Clay’s documentation.
