Clay (Free) to find and validate work emails and write personalized connection requests
Before we begin
To scale LinkedIn connection requests effectively, you need two things:
- A work email in case the person requires it to send a connection
- A tailored message so you don’t sound like a salesperson
This Claybook automates both for you: a validated work email so you can bypass any email requirements, and a personalized connection request message that references a recent post.
Use it as a standalone workflow, or add this to a more robust Clay table.
