What it does
Use when a user mentions "waterfall account enrichment", "multi-source enrichment cascade", "fallback enrichment workflow", or asks for related help. Multi-source enrichment cascade — try primary provider, if it misses fall through to secondary, then tertiary, then AI-research fallback for unstructured discovery. Maximizes coverage while minimizing per-record cost. The Clay-style waterfall pattern.

How it works
Build the Waterfall Enrichment Workflow
Create WorkflowCreate a workflow
Primary Enrichment Pass
configure_enrich_stepConfigure first enrichment step to query the primary provider (configurable — typically the cheapest provider with broad coverage, e.g. Apollo or Clearbit). Targets: company name, size, industry, tech stack, revenue band, key decision-makers. Outputs to account attributes. Mark fields successfully filled to inform downstream branching.
Branch on Primary Coverage
configure_workflow_branch_stepBranch step: did the primary enrichment fill the required fields? If YES → skip to AI-fit-scoring. If NO (missing email format, missing decision-maker, or missing tech stack) → continue to secondary provider. Saves money by not paying for premium providers unless needed.
Secondary Enrichment Pass
configure_enrich_stepConfigure second enrichment step that fires only on the no-coverage branch. Query secondary provider (configurable — typically a specialist provider for the missing field type, e.g. ZoomInfo for decision-makers, BuiltWith for tech stack). Only fills fields the primary missed; doesn
AI Research Fallback
configure_ai_research_stepConfigure AI research step that fires when secondary provider also fails to fill a key field. Tasks: scrape the company website, summarize what the company does, identify likely buyer personas from About/Team/Leadership pages, look up recent news for funding/hiring signals. Returns structured output (industry, ICP-fit description, 3-5 decision-maker names with titles). The Claygent-equivalent for the long tail where structured providers have no data.
Update Account Record
configure_update_attribute_stepConfigure the update step that writes all enriched data back to the Account record. Includes a metadata field
Validate and Publish
publish_workflowValidate the workflow DAG and publish for live execution. Set up a daily summary of enrichment-tier-usage so RevOps can monitor cost (e.g.
