Getting started with Prospeo

Prospeo in Clay allows you to find work email addresses and enrich person details using a person's name, company domain, or LinkedIn URL.

There are three actions you can perform with Prospeo:

We'll cover how to connect Clay to Prospeo, then we'll go over each action that is available with Prospeo.

But first let's talk a bit about data enrichment waterfalls.

Getting better email coverage with waterfall enrichments

Prospeo is great for finding email contacts, but it's not the only way to get this data.

For better coverage on email data, we recommend using Clay's waterfall enrichments, which will let you search sequentially across multiple data providers. Learn more on how to use Clay waterfalls with this Clay University lesson.

That said, let's get into it on how to use Prospeo with Clay! 

Connecting with Clay with Prospeo

You have two options to connect Prospeo with Clay.

Option 1: Use the Clay-managed Prospeo account

By default, Prospeo enrichments will use the Clay-managed Prospeo account. This means that any new enrichment will charge the designated credit amount.

Simply pull up any Datagma enrichment within Clay to use the Clay-managed Prospeo account.

Option 2: Add your own Prospeo API key

If you are currently on paid plan (Starter, Explorer, Pro) you can use your own Prospeo account within Clay through an API key.

Below is an example of where to click within the enrichment panel to add your API key. For more instructions on how to find your Prospeo API key, follow these instructions within Prospeo's documentation.
