Within work email enrichment you can pick from any of these providers and verify the email at each step of the enrichment. If you do it at the end you can use any of these or your own verifier with HTTP API. If you have a high bounce rate might be worth looking into Debounce for first pass verification followed by BounceBan to verify catch-alls and only send to Safe To Send & Deliverable emails

Check the credits you have in instantly it's not a Clay error if you are using your own API key
