Clay-managed functions are Clay-provided routines for standard GTM data jobs. Use Clay-managed functions when you need standard enrichment or research, such as: Common pattern: search for the right people at target accounts, then run a Clay-managed function to find work emails.

​
When to use them

Use Clay-managed functions when Clay already provides the enrichment or research job you need, or when you want an agent, backend service, or batch job to call that enrichment without building a custom function first.

​
Run from agents or systems

Call Clay-managed functions from the Clay plugin, CLI, MCP, or API.

Give an agent access to a Clay function

Let an agent call a Clay-managed or custom function.

Run a search, then enrich with a function

Combine Searches with Clay-managed functions.
