How Clay works with Curviate

Clay finds and enriches the right people, and Curviate reaches them on LinkedIn. Send people from Clay to Curviate’s API to add contacts and start a Motion, and get replies back with a webhook.

What you can build

Three flows teams set up first. Each one takes a few minutes.

Clay rows straight into a Motion

Enriched people go from Clay to Curviate and get their first LinkedIn touch.

POST /v1/motions/…/contacts

Details your messages can use

Fields from Clay, like a role or a recent event, travel along and fill your message templates.

POST /v1/contacts

Replies to your team

When someone replies on LinkedIn, your team hears about it in Slack.

Set up Clay with Curviate

Everything runs on two things Curviate gives every account: signed webhooks out and a REST API in.

1
Copy your Curviate API key
In the Curviate dashboard, open Settings, then API & Webhooks, and copy your key.
# keep it in your tool's credentials, never in plain text
CURVIATE_API_KEY=cvt_live_••••3f9a
2
Send people from Clay to Curviate
Use Clay’s HTTP request or webhook action, or an automation tool, to call Curviate with each person’s LinkedIn URL. Extra fields travel along for your messages.
POST https://api.curviate.com/v1/contacts
{ "linkedin_url": "linkedin.com/in/lenaweber",
"list_name": "Clay signals",
"extra": { "signal": "visited pricing" } }
3
Start the Motion
Add the new contacts to a Motion. They start within its schedule and each account’s limits.
# start your Motion for them
POST https://api.curviate.com/v1/motions/mot_…/contacts
{ "contact_ids": ["con_…"] }
4
Get replies back
Point a Curviate webhook at Clay, your automation tool or Slack to hear about replies. Each webhook covers one source: messaging for replies, user for accepted invitations, motion for Motion outcomes, account_status for account alerts.
curl https://api.curviate.com/v1/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CURVIATE_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "source": "messaging",
    "events": ["message.received"],
    "account_ids": ["acc_…"],
    "request_url": "https://your-endpoint.example.com/curviate"
  }'
5
Check the signature
Every delivery carries a Curviate-Signature header: an HMAC-SHA256 of the timestamp and the raw body, made with your webhook’s secret. Compare it before you act, and drop anything older than five minutes.
Curviate-Signature: t=1792230000,v1=5f2c9a…e81b

# expected = HMAC_SHA256(secret, t + "." + raw_body)

API reference

Questions about Curviate x Clay

What does Curviate need from Clay?

A LinkedIn profile URL per person. Names, company and any extra fields are optional and can be used in your messages.

Will someone be contacted twice?

No. Curviate recognises a person by their LinkedIn profile, so sending them again updates the contact, and Motions can skip people who are already in another Motion.

How fast does a new person start?

Right away, within the Motion’s schedule and each account’s limits.
