Motion anatomy

One observable trigger. One governed action.

A Motion separates what happened from what the team should do next. Conditions connect the two and prevent noisy or unsafe execution.

01Trigger

Verified funding event

A connected signal source reports a funding round for an account in your market.

Source
Clay or another connected signal source
  • Company and funding date
  • Round type and announced amount
  • Source URL and evidence
02Action

Prepare a funding-aware email

Draft outreach that references the verified event and connects it to a relevant operational priority—not the funding headline alone.

Destination
Email draft and sales approval queue
  1. 1Create a concise company and funding brief
  2. 2Select a relevant use case and proof point
  3. 3Draft and assign outreach for review

Conditions

Decide whether the signal deserves action.

01

Company matches your market, region, and size filters

02

The announcement falls within the selected recency window

03

No active opportunity or recent outbound sequence

Why this Motion

Give the sales team a qualified, evidence-backed reason to engage without turning every funding headline into generic outreach.

Guardrails

Automation with a reviewable trail

  • Require a verifiable source before creating outreach
  • Suppress companies already in an active sales motion
  • Keep external sending behind approval
