Building modular Clay tables is crucial for creating a scalable enrichment engine. This approach, inspired by coding principles, ensures maintainability and efficiency in data enrichment workflows.

Key Points from the Video:
- Modular vs Static Tables: Instead of creating tables with multiple enrichments, build separate tables for each enrichment function that can be reused across your Clay database.
- Benefits of Modularity: When updates are needed, you only need to modify one source table rather than updating multiple instances across different workflows.
- Practical Example: Using separate tables for company summary generation and business category classification allows for easier maintenance and updates.
- Implementation Strategy: Define all required properties before starting, create individual tables for each property in the workbook, and ensure proper data flow between workflows.
- HubSpot Integration: While Clay's native HubSpot integration has limitations, custom server solutions can be implemented for more sophisticated enrichment workflows.
This modular approach is essential for organizations aiming to build and maintain a robust, scalable enrichment architecture that can grow with their needs.
