Troubleshooting

Account connects but actions return no data

If your Magellan Data account connects successfully but enrichments return no results, your Magellan account may have insufficient credits. Log in to your Magellan Data account to check your credit balance and purchase additional credits if needed. Note that credits are consumed per record enriched in Clay, regardless of whether data is found.
