Clay Table Builder
Clay's API can't build a table. This can. Your agent creates it, loads your leads, adds enrichment and AI columns, and asks before it spends credits.

Building in ClayTable ready
Build me a Clay table of dental clinic owners in Texas from this CSV. Clean up the first names and company names, check every email, and add a column that writes a one-line opener from each clinic's website.
On it. Creating your table first.
Clay's official API searches and enriches. Building the table is still your job. This system builds it from one message and agrees the cost with you before any column runs.

Tested column sets your agent adds to any table in one step, instead of rebuilding them on every list. Finished leads can go straight to Instantly or EmailBison.
Connect your Clay login once and pick the one folder your agent is allowed to write in.
Your agent shows you each change before it writes anything, and deleting a table needs its exact name.
