The world’s first Clay table that reads your WHOOP recovery and becomes your personal workout coach.

It also checks the weather to decide if you should train indoors or outdoors, and sends everything to your phone.

I made it for Clay World Records because the ideas people are posting are too fun to ignore.

The setup was simple.
- I pulled my WHOOP data.
- I grabbed the day’s weather in my city.
- If the weather at 10am is under 15°C, it plans an indoor workout. Otherwise, it plans an outdoor one.
- I let Clay decide my workout based on recovery, strain, and conditions.
Then I wired it to message me each morning.

Now my WHOOP, the weather, and Clay decide what I should do before I even think about it.

Would you like to see v2 where it also checks my sleep score, last 7 days of data, scans new research on best practices, checks their legitimacy and creates the workout plan for me?

What would you add to make this workflow even smarter?

P.S. The WHOOP app is deleted, so no worries about any API keys shown in the video.

BLACK FRIDAY FOR OUTBOUND.

3 months of done-for-you cold email.
$0 service fee.

We're giving away 3 months of free cold email outreach from Leadhaste (Smartlead & Clay Certified Partner) to one company.

You only cover software costs in your own accounts.
We handle strategy, scraping, copy, targeting and running the campaigns.

This ties into the session I just did on Smartlead Office Hours.
“From Replies to Revenue: Fixing the Post Reply Gap.”

We talked about how to:
- Turn positive replies into booked calls
- Split responsibilities between agency and in-house sales
- Use reply scripts and pre-call flows to increase show and close rates
- Borrow GTM ideas from top outbound operators

Now I want to put it into practice for someone.

How to get the application link
- Comment “REVENUE” on this post
- Tag a founder or sales leader who should see this

I will reply in your DMs with link to a short form. (We must be connected)

It asks for:
- Name and company
- Your average LTV
- Why you think your offer is a strong fit for cold email

We will pick 1 winner based on last question.
Not on who has the biggest team or LTV.

Deadline to submit is 30 Nov 2025.

I send all form links manually.

If you do not get it within a day or two, feel free to bump me in DMs.

So now that Cloudflare is toasted, does that mean mandatory nap time?

Jokes aside, it's crazy how reliable we are on one piece of internet infrastructure, and how everything can crumble like a house of cards.

APIs love to say "200 OK" even when things are not really OK.

Here is the situation:
- You get a positive reply
- You push that lead into Clay
- Clay creates a Company in HubSpot
- Then creates a Contact
- Then creates a Deal

Then tries to associate all of them

On paper, this looks perfect.

In reality, HubSpot needs a bit of time to catch up.

So Clay gets a successful response for "create contact" and immediately triggers the next column.

That next column tries to associate the Deal with the Contact and Company.
But HubSpot has not fully propagated the contact yet, so the contact ID is not available.

Result: the association column errors out even though the previous step "worked."

In the video I walk through a simple way to fix this by adding a delay between column runs in Clay so that:

HubSpot has time to fully create and populate the records

The next columns can reliably find the IDs they need

You stop chasing random, flaky errors in your workflow. Automate a fix.

Curious if you have other uses cases for column delays in Clay?

Going live with Smartlead in 1 hour. 

Big BLACK FRIDAY surprise at the end. 

See you there.

From Replies to Revenue: Why Replies Aren’t Enough · Zoom · Luma

Replies aren’t revenue.

What happens after the reply is.

Most teams obsess over the opening line.
Almost no one optimizes the first reply.

At LeadHaste we call it the Post-Reply Gap.
It’s the leak between “sounds interesting” and “on the calendar.”

Here’s the simple math I show clients:

100 positives → 20 booked → 16 shows → 3–4 deals.
Drop booking to 10% booked and you get 1–2 deals from the same replies.
At 5% it can be zero.

The fix is not fancy. It’s operational.

Fix 1: Respond fast.
Aim for claim in 5 minutes and first reply in 15 during business hours.

Fix 2: Stop sending calendar-only.
Mirror their question. Add one line of value.
Offer two or three manual times and include your calendar as a fallback.

Fix 3: Follow up twice.
+24h with a small value add.
+48h to pause or pick a time.

Fix 4: Make showing up easy.
Confirmation same day. T-24h, T-2h, T-10m reminders.
Short agenda. Access link above the fold.

That's why at LeadHaste we don’t sell replies.
We build a revenue system.
Both sides drive their half.

What do you track after the reply right now?
And what’s your median time to first response during business hours?

I’m joining Smartlead’s Office Hours as a guest!

We’ll clean up those follow-ups and turn replies into revenue.

Join us live with 400+ attendees, see you there!
