How do Clay users use Forager personal emails?

Give GTM engineers a mobile, email and person provider they can drop into any table, workflow or waterfall step, billed in platform credits. Personal email addresses for reaching people outside their work inbox, such as passive candidates and founders. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

Am I charged when no personal email is found?

No. A personal email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for personal emails we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.

Can Clay users test personal emails for free?

Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send candidate profile URL, LinkedIn identifiers and LinkedIn URL or public identifier. You get back personal_email, phone_number, work_email and personal email, as JSON.

How do I know the data is right?

The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

Who built and maintains the Clay integration?

Native. Forager is built into the partner product. Clay lists Forager as a provider on its own site.

How do I find mobile numbers of passive candidates?

Fetch candidate mobiles from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ (Silver for maximum reach). Add personal_email for a parallel channel.

Can I use the Forager API directly instead of Clay?

Yes. The same data is available through the REST API with one API key, so you can call it from your own code or another tool. Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code.

Do I need a subscription?

Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using personal emails, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.

How is the data sourced, and what about privacy?

Bring your legal and security questions to a call with our team, and we take you through how Forager data is sourced and the terms that cover personal emails for Clay users. Forager's privacy policy is public, and anyone can send a request about their own personal data through the consumer rights form on forager.ai.
