Step 1

Size the audience

Estimate how many CRM records this workflow will actually touch.

A

Accounts

Audience size

16,000
35,000 × 40%+ 2,000 new= 16,000
C

Contacts

Audience size

44,000
100,000 × 40%+ 4,000 new= 44,000
Step 2

Scope the enrichments

Set credit cost, coverage, frequency, and whether you bring an external API key.

How actions workA standard enrichment uses 1 action per run. A waterfall assumes 3 actions. Coverage affects data credits, while actions are based on the full audience.

CRM Enrichment

Approximately 116,400 data credits and 1,184,000 actions per year.

Calculation assumptions

Audience size equals CRM volume × relevant percentage + expected new records.

Data credits equal audience × coverage × annual frequency × credits each. External API keys set data credits to zero.

Actions equal audience × annual frequency. Waterfalls assume three actions per record. Coverage does not reduce actions, matching the source template.

Estimates are directional. Actual Clay usage varies by workflow design, provider, retry behavior, and coverage.
