Step 1 — Pull the account dataWorkflow 3: Auto-Create CRM Tasks When Signals Fire (HubSpot)
What it does: When a WhiteWhale signal fires, a task is automatically created in HubSpot and assigned to the account owner — with the signal details, Why Now, and source included in the task description. Reps see the task in their HubSpot queue and know exactly what to do. Tools needed: WhiteWhale webhook, HubSpot Workflows (Operations Hub Professional or Enterprise)How it works
Setup
Create a HubSpot workflow with a webhook trigger
In HubSpot, go to Automation → Workflows and create a new workflow. Add a Send a webhook action (under Data ops). Set the method to POST and paste your WhiteWhale webhook URL.For a full walkthrough of setting up webhook-triggered workflows in HubSpot, watch this guide: HubSpot Webhook Workflows →
Register the webhook in WhiteWhale
Go to Settings → API & Webhooks → paste the HubSpot webhook URL and save. WhiteWhale will now POST signal events directly to your HubSpot workflow every morning when signals fire.
Test the webhook
In WhiteWhale, go to Settings → Test Webhook and send a test payload. Confirm it arrives in your HubSpot workflow and triggers correctly.
Build the task creation action
In your HubSpot workflow, add a Create Task action after the webhook trigger. Map the fields from the WhiteWhale payload:
| HubSpot task field | WhiteWhale source |
|---|---|
| Subject | Signal: {signal_name} — {account} |
| Body | Why Now: {why_now}\n\nSource: {article_summary.headline}\n{source} |
| Associated company | Match using crm_account_id or search by account domain |
| Assigned to | Match using owner_email |
| Due date | Today + 1 day |
| Priority | High |
| Type | To-do |
What the rep sees
A task appears in their HubSpot queue:Signal: New CRO Hired — acme.com Why Now: Acme just brought in a new CRO from Salesforce who has publicly committed to overhauling their outbound motion over the next 90 days. Combined with their recent Series B, they’re scaling the sales team fast. Source: TechCrunch — Acme Corp Appoints New Chief Revenue Officer https://techcrunch.com/…The rep opens the task, reads the Why Now, and reaches out — without ever logging into WhiteWhale.
Workflow 4: Signal → Enriched Contacts → Automated Outreach (Clay)
What it does: WhiteWhale signals flow into Clay automatically via webhook. Clay finds the right contacts at each account, enriches them with verified emails and phone numbers, and either pushes them to your CRM for rep-led follow-up or kicks off an automated sequence. Tools needed: WhiteWhale webhook, Clay, your CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce), email/LinkedIn outreach tool (Instantly, Lemlist, HeyReach, etc.)Setup
Create a Clay table with a webhook source
In Clay, create a new table and add Webhook as the data source. Clay will generate a webhook URL.Reference: Clay Webhook Integration Guide
Register the Clay webhook in WhiteWhale
Go to Settings → API & Webhooks → paste the Clay webhook URL and save.Every morning when a signal fires, WhiteWhale sends the full payload to your Clay table — including the company URL, LinkedIn URL, all signals, the Why Now, sources, quotes, and the account owner.
Build your enrichment flow in Clay
Add the following columns to your Clay table:Column 1 — Company name Pull from the WhiteWhale payload
account field.Column 2 — Account owner Pull from owner_email so you know which rep owns the account.Column 3 — Find contacts Use Clay’s Find People at Company enrichment. Set it to search for your target titles (VP Sales, Head of Marketing, etc.) at the company URL from the WhiteWhale payload.Column 4 — Waterfall enrichment Run Clay’s waterfall enrichment on each contact to source verified email addresses and phone numbers from 10+ providers.Choose your activation path
Option A: Rep-led (push to CRM)Add a Clay integration to push the enriched contact into HubSpot or Salesforce. Include the signal name and Why Now summary in a custom field so the rep has full context when they see the record.Option B: Fully automated (push to outreach tool)Add a Claygent column that takes the WhiteWhale signals, Why Now, and contact details and writes a personalized first-touch email. Then push the contact and the AI-written email into Instantly, Lemlist, or HeyReach to kick off a sequence automatically.
One-off export alternative
If you don’t want ongoing automation and just need to get your current accounts into Clay:- Go to the Accounts page in WhiteWhale
- Select the accounts you want to export using the checkboxes
- Click Export — WhiteWhale downloads a CSV
- Import the CSV into Clay as a new table
