Find 2x people than with Clay

Input : Job titles + Company
Output : Live matching people data

Prerequisites

In Pronto

A Pronto account with API access
A valid sync
Your Pronto API key (How to get your API key)

In Clay

A Companies table with at least:

Company Name
Domain
Company LinkedIn URL (or LinkedIn Org ID)

These fields tell Pronto which company to search on LinkedIn.

Step 1 — Create a Webhook Table in Clay

Pronto needs an endpoint to “deliver” the people it finds. We’ll use a Monitor Webhook table.

In Clay, click Add → Monitor Webhook
Clay creates a new table with a Webhook column
Click the Webhook column → Sources → Pull data from webhook
Copy the Webhook URL

You will paste this URL into Pronto’s API request later.

Step 2 — Add an HTTP API Column to Your Companies Table

Go back to your Companies table
Click Add Column
Choose Add Enrichment
Select HTTP API

This is the column that will call Pronto’s Find People API for each company.

Step 3 — Configure the API Call

Method

POST

Endpoint

https://app.prontohq.com/api/v2/leads/search

Body (JSON)

Paste this JSON and customize it as needed:

  "company_linkedin_url": "{{Company Linkedin URL}}",
  "job_titles": [

    "HR Director",
    "Talent Acquisition Manager"
  ],
  "excluded_job_titles": [

Step 5 — View and Use the Results

Go to your Webhook table. You’ll see people appear row by row as Pronto finds them. Click Add Column → search and add:

full_name
title
linkedin_url
linkedin_id
company_name

You now have a live Find People pipeline inside Clay.

FAQ

Does this use my Clay credits?

No, Pronto handles the search, so you don’t use any Clay Find People credits.

Is the data live?

Yes, Pronto searches in real-time using your synced session.

Can I run this at scale?

Yes, You can run it on thousands of companies. Pronto streams results progressively to avoid rate limits.

What if my sync breaks?

Just re-sync your account in Pronto Settings.

Want to scale further ?

The scale parameter (boolean, optional) allows you to increase your volume of requests by omitting the following fields:

connections_count
headline
Vanity LinkedIn profile URL (like https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathieu-brun-picard/)

When scale is set to true, you will still receive a LinkedIn profile URL, but it will use the user ID instead of the vanity URL format (like https://linkedin.com/in/ACwAACaX8uYBfAh-5YxmfObz4mVOKYih3zxa-TM).
