Enrich-New-User
Val Town is a collaborative website to build and scale JavaScript apps.
Deploy APIs, crons, & store data – all from the browser, and deployed in milliseconds.

Clay doesn't offer an API, but you can simulate an API via Val Town by listening to webhooks, enriching data in Clay, and having Clay send an HTTP request back when enrichment is complete.
This demo uses Clay like an API to automatically enrich new user signups and send notifications to Discord.
Here's an example:
Here's the underlying Clay Table:
- Create a new Clay workbook called "New User Enrichment"
- Click Add → Pull in data from source at the bottom
- Select Pull in data from a Webhook Table
- Click Edit source on the Webhook column to copy the webhook URL
- Update the webhook URL in your
main.tsxfile:
"https://api.clay.com/v3/sources/webhook/pull-in-data-from-a-webhook-YOUR_ID"
Add whichever enrichment columns you want. This example uses:
- Enrich Person → Name, Title, Org
- LinkedIn Profile → LinkedIn URL
- Click Add Column → Add Enrichment → search for HTTP API
- Add HTTP API column to your Clay table
- Click Edit Column and fill in the following:
- Set endpoint to your HTTP URL:
https://your-val-url.com/clayEnrichmentWebhook(note the/clayEnrichmentWebhook) - Set method: POST
- Configure request body:
{ "email": "{{email}}", "profile_image_url": "{{profile_image_url}}", "Name": "{{Name}}", "Title": "{{Title}}", "Org": "{{Org}}", "LinkedIn": "{{LinkedIn Profile}}" }
- Enable Remove empty values
- Here's what my final column looked like:
- Click Environment Variables in your val's sidebar
- Add: DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL with your Discord webhook URL
This is what triggers a new row in the Clay table, hook up your source system (Clerk, Stripe, etc.) to send webhooks to your val's HTTP URL: https://your-val-url.com/newUserSignup (note the /newUserSignup)
For Clerk, it's:
Enriched profiles (with ⭐):
⭐ New user! John Doe • Software Engineer @ Tech Corp • john@example.com • https://linkedin.com/in/johndoe
Basic signups:
New user! user@example.org • [profile_image_url]
