Overview
The Clay integration allows you to automatically create contacts in Quo and send personalized SMS messages from your Quo number using the Quo API.This integration requires an active Quo subscription, prepaid API messaging credits, and Owner or Admin permissions in your workspace.
How the integration works
Actions in Quo are triggered directly from rows in your Clay table.Available actions
Create a contact
Clay can automatically create contacts in Quo using data from a table row with:
- Name
- Phone number
- Company
Send SMS messages
Clay can send outbound SMS messages from your selected Quo phone number.
- Messages are sent through the Quo API
- Conversations appear in your Quo inbox
- Replies return directly to Quo
- Dynamic variables from Clay can be used for personalization
Data flow and limitations
Action-based integration
- One-way actions: Data flows from Clay to Quo, so changes made in Quo will not automatically update in your Clay table.
- One API request is triggered per row
- Not a real-time sync
All automation logic and triggering rules for sending SMS messages or creating contacts are configured inside Clay.
Messaging requirements
US business texting registration
To send messages to US phone numbers:- US carrier registration must be approved
- Messages won’t be delivered if registration is incomplete

API messaging credits
Messages sent from Clay are treated as API messages and use prepaid API credits. If you don’t have enough available API credits, your SMS messages will not be sent.Visit our Pre-paid credits and usage-based billing article to learn how to add credits to your workspace.
