Find the right contact and know the account before you reach out
Connect Clay and ask “Find the VP of Sales at Acme.” Manus uses Clay data to return their title, work history and verified work email. Name a company, and it turns funding, headcount, tech stack, hiring and recent news into a one-screen brief. Paste 10 to 20 companies to enrich a lead list in one table, then have it draft outreach from the research. Enrichment uses your Clay credits, so ask it how many records it will enrich before it starts. Emails stay drafts until you decide to send them.
Fill in these five companies from Clay: head of sales, work email, headcount, funding and tech stack.

Find a contact at a company by title
Name the company and the role. Manus searches Clay, narrows the list by seniority and location, then enriches only the people you pick. In Clay prospecting, searching first and enriching last keeps credit use down.
Look up a named person and find their work email
Give a name and a company. Manus looks the person up in Clay and adds their current title, past roles and a verified work email when Clay has one.
Account research on one screen before the first email
A Clay company research brief covers funding, headcount, open roles, tech stack and recent news. Manus reads it for you and says why the account is worth a message now.

Why reach out now · ManusAcme raised a Series C in March and is adding four account executives and a RevOps manager. New reps need ramp time, so open with how you shorten it.
Research a company before outreach
Clay account research works best one company at a time, by its domain. Manus turns funding, headcount, open roles, tech stack and news into a brief with a reason to reach out now.
Profile dozens of accounts, then go deep on the best
Wide Research researches each company in parallel from public sources. Then Manus ranks the list and looks up contacts in Clay only for the top few.
Paste a short list, and Manus fills the empty fields with Clay data enrichment in one table. Clay recommends its MCP for up to 20 records at a time, so longer lists belong in a Clay table.

Ramping four new AEs in Austin
Hi Dana,
Congrats on the Series C. I saw Acme is hiring four account executives in Austin. Getting that many new reps to their first meetings usually means hours of account research each week.
We help sales teams get that down to a few minutes per account. Would a short example for your team be useful?
Not sent. Edit it and send it yourself.

Draft cold emails from each account brief
Manus opens each email with a real signal from the research, such as a new round or open roles, and keeps it short. Every email stays a draft until you send it.
Answer replies with Mail Manus
When a prospect writes back, paste the reply into a task or forward it to Mail Manus. Manus can look the person up in Clay and draft your answer.
Send enriched leads to HubSpot after you check them
Connect HubSpot as well, and Manus can save what it found as contacts and company details. Ask it to check for existing contacts first and show you the changes.

Write Clay results into HubSpot contacts

Clay is already in Manus Connectors. Sign in with your Clay account once, and any task can find people, enrich records and check your credits.
Open Connectors
In Manus, open Connectors, choose Clay and select Connect.
Sign in to Clay
Sign in with your Clay account, choose the workspace your team uses and allow access. There’s no API key to create.
Ask in any task
Mention Clay and give the company domain, the role or the list. Before a bigger enrichment, ask Manus how many records it will enrich and how many credits you have left.
ClayFind, enrich, and research contacts and companies
Search for contacts at target companies, look up named people, enrich companies and contacts with data points like email, work history, funding, tech stack, and recent news, and track your workspace credits with Clay.

Uses your workspace credits at the same rates as in Clay
Open Connectors in Manus, choose Clay and select Connect. Sign in with your Clay account, pick your team’s workspace and allow access. Then ask in any task, for example “Find the head of sales at acme.example in Clay.”
Does this use my Clay credits?
Yes. Finding emails and enriching people or companies use credits from your Clay plan, at the same rates as in Clay. Ask Manus to check your balance and tell you how many records it will enrich before it starts. If your admin set a monthly limit for MCP, Clay stops enrichments once you reach it.
How many contacts can Manus enrich at once?
Clay recommends its MCP for 1 to 20 contacts at a time, such as one account or a short target list. For hundreds of rows, automated workflows or ongoing CRM syncs, Clay suggests building a table in Clay itself.
How accurate are the emails Manus finds?
Manus returns what Clay finds. The Clay enrichment waterfall tries several data providers in turn and checks each email before returning it. Give the company’s website domain, not only its name, so Clay matches the right company. Ask Manus to mark any field Clay couldn’t fill.
Can Manus work as a Clay integration with HubSpot?
Yes, for short lists. Connect HubSpot in Manus as well, and it can check for existing contacts, then create or update the records you approve. For ongoing, high-volume syncs, use the CRM integrations inside Clay.
How is this different from Claygent?
Claygent is the Clay AI research agent that runs inside Clay tables. Manus uses Clay data through the connector and keeps it in one task with the rest of the work: finding the person, researching the account, drafting the email and updating your other apps.
Is this the same Clay MCP as Clay in ChatGPT and Claude?
Yes. Manus uses the Clay MCP server that Clay hosts, the same one behind the Clay ChatGPT app and the Clay Claude connector. If you already use Clay inside ChatGPT, the same account and credits work here. In Manus it’s already in Connectors, so there’s nothing to install.
Will Manus send emails to my prospects?
Not from these examples. They ask Manus for drafts only, so you can edit each email and decide what to send. Bulk sends and sequences stay in the outreach tools you already use.
Which Clay plan and permissions do I need?
Any Clay account can connect. What Manus can find and how many credits you can use depend on your Clay plan and on the limits your workspace admin sets for MCP.
Is Manus a Clay alternative?
No. Manus works with your Clay account. The data, verified emails and credits all come from Clay, and Manus turns them into briefs, tables and drafts in your task.
