Create enriched contacts from email sources for sales

Automatically process incoming contact emails and company context across Zapier and Clay. Create and update enriched CRM contacts when contact emails arrive, company domains are provided, or enrichment candidates appearβ€”so you can enrich profiles, create contacts, and route outreach without manual data cleanup.

How this automation enriches your CRM contacts

When email-only contacts come in without usable details, outreach slows and duplicates grow. This automation loops through emails, creates email source records, and coordinates lookups and contact creationβ€”so your team can reach out with complete profiles.
