If you’re using Clay for lead gen, you might want to see this.

I just put together a deep dive comparing Clay vs. n8n, showing exactly why n8n is the ultimate Clay killer—a more powerful, flexible, and cost-effective alternative.

In the video, I break down:

A full lead-gen workflow using n8n that:
:white_check_mark: Scrapes LinkedIn profiles & enriches with emails
:white_check_mark:Filters & qualifies leads automatically (so you focus on the best ones)
:white_check_mark:Adds personalized videos & messaging to increase replies
:white_check_mark:Sends emails & LinkedIn requests to hit both inboxes
:white_check_mark:Uses AI to handle all responses—so you can scale without effort

If you’ve ever felt limited by Clay, this will open up a whole new way of thinking about outbound.
