Clay Local Dev Loop

Overview

Clay is a web-based platform with no local runtime. Your local dev loop consists of: (1) scripts that push data into Clay via webhooks, (2) Clay enrichment running in the cloud, and (3) HTTP API columns pushing enriched data back to your local endpoint via ngrok. This skill sets up that feedback loop.

Prerequisites

• Completed clay-install-auth setup
• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
• ngrok installed (npm install -g ngrok or ngrok.com)
• Clay table with webhook source configured

Instructions

Step 1: Expose Your Local Server via ngrok

Clay's HTTP API enrichment columns need a public URL to call your local endpoints.
