How does authentication work in a Clay column?

One header on the HTTP API column: Authorization: Bearer . Keys are minted at app.argorant.com/profile and can be revoked any time.

Argorant + Clay

Verified contact data, as a Clay column.

Clay tables orchestrate enrichment — Argorant supplies the verified data. Add an HTTP API column with your Argorant key and every row can find a verified work email, verify an address you already have, or pull the full contact record from 614M B2B profiles.

Setup

Connect Clay to Argorant

No marketplace install needed: Clay's native HTTP API column speaks Argorant's REST API directly. Copy a template, paste your key, map your table columns.

Create a free Argorant account and mint an API key under app.argorant.com/profile → API keys.

In your Clay table, add an enrichment column → HTTP API, and set the Authorization header to Bearer <your key>.

Paste one of the ready-made templates from the Clay guide below — find email, verify email, or reveal contact — and map row columns into the request fields.

Run the column. Each row returns clean JSON (email, status, phone, title, company) that downstream Clay columns can use.

Waterfalls

A verified source in your enrichment waterfall.

Clay users chain providers and keep the first good answer. Argorant slots into that waterfall as a source that verifies at lookup time — the email you get back was just checked for deliverability, not pulled from a stale dump. Use the verification status field to decide whether the waterfall continues.

Find & reveal

Name + company in, verified contact out.

Map your table's name and company (or domain) columns into the find-email template and each row comes back with a verified work email. Need more? The reveal template returns the full record — phone, title, location, LinkedIn — for one credit per row, only on the rows you run.

List building

Or skip the row-by-row and import a finished list.

When you want a whole segment rather than per-row enrichment, build a verified export in Argorant — fintech CFOs in Germany, Series-B heads of sales — download the CSV, and import it as a new Clay table. Counts and previews are free, so you can size the segment before spending a credit.

Testimonials

Revenue teams that stopped tolerating bounces.

“We replaced ZoomInfo in a weekend. Same coverage, a fraction of the cost, and the emails actually land. Our bounce rate went from 28% to under 3%.”

Maria Chen

VP Sales · 30-rep outbound team at a logistics SaaS

“Verification at export is the whole game. Every list we pull is checked live before it hits our sequencer — no more scrubbing through a second tool.”

James Okafor

Founder · seed-stage developer-tools startup

“We were paying $40K a year on an annual contract for data that bounced. Argorant is self-serve, a fraction of that spend, and the deliverability is night and day.”

Not yet — there's no branded Argorant integration in Clay's catalog today. You connect using Clay's built-in HTTP API enrichment column with our copy-paste templates: same API key and endpoints, documented at argorant.com/docs/integrations/clay. If a native integration ships later, your existing key and tables keep working — nothing to redo.

One header on the HTTP API column: Authorization: Bearer <your API key>. Keys are minted at app.argorant.com/profile and can be revoked any time.

Counts and redacted previews are free. Finding or verifying an email and revealing a full contact consume workspace credits — the same metering as the web app, REST API, CLI, and MCP server. Clay only runs the rows you tell it to, so you control spend per table.

Yes — that's the recommended pattern. Put the Argorant find-email template in your waterfall and branch on the returned verification status: keep verified addresses, let the waterfall continue otherwise.

First name, last name, and a company domain give the best hit rate; name plus company name also works. The reveal template accepts the same inputs and returns the full contact record including phone and LinkedIn.
