Find creators from Instagram & TikTok mentions and enrich them in Clay
Use EmbedSocial's creator discovery agent to turn organic mentions into a ready-to-contact creator list.
One connection. Runs on your live EmbedSocial data.
What does it do?
Connect EmbedSocial with Claude or ChatGPT and Clay to create an agent that pulls creators from Instagram hashtags and mentions and from TikTok mentions matching a keyword, deduplicates them by handle, and sends the list to Clay for enrichment. Clay adds contact info and other details to each creator profile, turning a raw mentions list into an outreach-ready dataset.
Useful for
- Building creator outreach lists from real mentions: start with people already talking about your brand;
- Skipping manual profile lookups: let Clay handle enrichment instead of searching each creator by hand;
- Prioritizing warm creator relationships: reach out to people with existing organic interest, not cold leads.

Real-world use case
Imagine you want to build a creator outreach list but only want people who are already talking about your brand. Instead of searching manually across platforms, you ask Claude or ChatGPT:
Using the EmbedSocial MCP, pull creators from Instagram mentions and hashtags and TikTok mentions for [keyword], dedupe by handle, and send the list to Clay to enrich with contact info for outreach.
Your AI tool identifies the creators, removes duplicates, and hands off the list to Clay, which returns it enriched and ready for outreach.
