Need to build a precise list of employees from a target company—without the headache?
This workflow turns a LinkedIn company URL into a list of relevant profiles inside Clay, using Captain Data’s powerful async API.
Quickly populate a list of employees (e.g., CXOs, Founders) from target accounts for personalized outreach or enrichment.
Overview
This playbook uses Captain Data’s Search Sales Navigator Company Employees (async) action inside Clay.
It automates fetching employees from a company and pushing them into your “Employees” table—no manual pagination, no scraping.
Prerequisites
- A Captain Data account + your API key
- The Clay template → Open Template
Step-by-Step
1. Add a Company
- Go to the “Companies” table in Clay.
- Add a LinkedIn Sales Navigator URL (e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/sales/company/86325044).
2. Trigger the Captain Data API
Use Clay’s HTTP module to call: this endpoint:
https://api.captaindata.com/v4/actions/salesnavigator-search-company-employees/run/async
Set your headers:
X-API-Key: <your-api-key>
Content-Type: application/json
Customize your payload:
{
"parameters": {
"max_results": 20,
"seniority": ["cxo"],
"employees_title": "\\"CEO\\" OR \\"Co-Founder\\""
},
"identity_mode": "auto",
"inputs": [{ "sales_navigator_company_url": "<company-url>" }]
}
3. Run Table Setup
- The “Runs” table logs the action and captures the callback webhook.
- Once the run is complete, Clay automatically parses the result.
- Map Employees
- The workflow sends extracted employees into the “Employees” table.
- Map columns like name, title, location, LinkedIn URL, and image.
- Enrich Further or Outreach
- Layer in more enrichment (e.g., emails, phone numbers).
- Build messaging or sequences—all inside Clay.
Pro Tips
- Use identity_mode: "auto" to rotate LinkedIn identities.
- You can filter results with seniority, employees_title, or even keywords.
