Your deciding question
Will one checked company record unblock the account review, or must new rows repeatedly enrich, transform and move through a maintained workflow?
The two can complement each other: a saved company CSV can be imported and mapped in Clay. That is a manual handoff, not a native connector or automatic synchronization; imported rows can trigger additional enrichment depending on your selection.
