Enrich Inbound Leads with Apollo and Clay Waterfalls
The problem
Marketing passes incomplete lead data to sales, forcing reps to research the basics by hand before every first touch.
Implementation steps
- 1
Set up HubSpot webhook in Clay to trigger on new form submissions
- 2
Configure Clay waterfall: Apollo enrichment > Clearbit fallback > Claygent LinkedIn scrape
- 3
Write enriched data (job title, company size, tech stack) back to HubSpot contact
- 4
Add lead scoring logic based on enriched firmographics
- 5
Route high-value leads to AE queue via HubSpot workflow
