How to Push Lead Phone Numbers to Slack


Alex Fine teaches you how to automatically push phone numbers of your leads to Slack using RB2B and Clay.

All right, we are back again with another late night comfy clay video to talk

0:04

about how you can send phone numbers of leads that are on your website in real

0:08

time to a flat channel via clay and RB to be super powerful automation here.

0:15

Very easy to set up I would call this and expert level beginner clay table.

0:22

So if you understand clay and you're pretty good, this is really easy to set up

0:31

. If you don't, by no means am I saying it's easy, but it is easy enough if you

0:32

're willing to put in the time and effort to learn clay. Step one year, the way it works is you get a web book directly pushed from RB

0:36

to be into clay.

0:38

This is completely automated. I don't have to do anything for this to run.

0:41

I've intentionally shrunk a lot of these columns here for anonymity, but with

0:46

that said, you get a name, a title, a company, a website, a business email, a

0:51

LinkedIn URL.

0:53

This is where we're doing an automation to find phone numbers.

0:56

I'm using a waterfall here with five different providers.

0:59

If you'd like to use one because this does use clay credits and just use an API

1:03

key, I would recommend lead magic, which is this one.

1:07

There's only one phone number that was founded in this small, very small sample

1:11

size of seven.

1:13

But typically lead magic is a great hit rate. It's the most affordable. That's

1:17

bang for your buck.

1:18

I would recommend that if you want to use an API and save on clay credits.

1:21

But in this case, because it was such a small sample size and I just built this

1:24

for the video, I didn't mind using the clay credits.

1:27

But I'm using forager, nimbler, lead magic, they tagma, people data labs and

1:32

contact the out phone and aggregating those phone numbers into one master code.

1:36

And then I wrote a little mini script in here that just normalizes the phone

1:40

numbers and cleans them up so they look nice when I push them directly to Slack

1:45

The reason I would say this is more beginner level videos because all I'm doing

1:48

here is really finding phone numbers and pushing them to Slack.

1:52

I can do quite a bit more and we do quite a bit more already in understory.

1:56

But just showing you here, I classify people into departments.

2:01

And the reason I do that is because I set up alternative copy for emails as

2:04

well that will populate based on the department that they work in and a few

2:08

different levels of personalization that go into it.

2:11

But yeah, for this one, we're just talking about phone numbers.

2:15

But what I'm able to do here, and this is completely automated, like I said, I

2:19

set up this webhook push to Slack.

2:22

So I chose the variables that I wanted to send, and I also set up a little

2:26

phrase that says buzz, buzz, new B and I have RB to be, be that that was clever

2:33

But anyways, I'll show you what that looks like.

2:35

And keep in mind, I'm running this manually, but this works automatically.

2:38

These have already all sent.

2:40

But to do it, you just click here, buzz, buzz, new B in the hive, and that

2:44

sends me all the information I need to know about that contact.

2:47

So my sales team can go out and strike well the iron's hot and call those

2:50

people.

2:51

We know they're on our website, give them a call.

2:54

You know, being quick with this type of stuff is absolutely critical when it

2:58

comes to leads.

3:00

So I would recommend setting something like this up.

3:03

I think every SDR organization, every sales organization, whoever in your

3:06

organization is making calls would benefit from this greatly, and you'd be

3:10

shocked how accurate this information actually is.

3:13

But we set these up for ourselves.

3:15

We set these up for our clients.

3:17

If you need help with any of it, let me know.

3:19

I'll tell you now, RB2B has made our lives as well as our clients' lives a

3:22

whole lot easier in the last few months.

3:25

And I can't recommend it enough to add to your text there.
