This is the formula used in the Valid Lead column: ({{Email Classification Result}} === "Work Email" && ({{Valid Email?}} === "✅" || {{Valid Domain?}} === "✅" || {{Company LinkedIn Exists?}} === "✅")) || ({{Email Classification Result}} === "Personal Email" && ({{Valid Domain?}} === "✅" || {{Company LinkedIn Exists?}} === "✅")) ? "Qualified" : "Trash"

To address the issue with your Clay formula returning incorrect results, we need to review the formula's logic and the data it's using. Here are some steps to help ensure your formula returns "Qualified" as expected: 1. Check the criteria: Review your lead scoring criteria and ensure they align with your definition of a "Qualified" lead. 2. Verify data points: Make sure all necessary data points for qualification are present and accurate in Row 168. 3. Test the formula: Apply the formula to known qualified leads to see if it works correctly in those cases. 4. Use conditional runs: Consider setting up conditional runs to filter leads based on specific criteria before applying the formula. Can you share the current formula you're using for the "Valid Lead" column? This will help us identify any potential issues in the logic or syntax.

row 182 has the same condition as row 168, but only row 182 got it correct. Why?

Apologies, are you a Clay support agent? I'm trying to follow up on a problem where a row finished running, but then there is always one column that did not finish its execution. And I had to re-run the row and everything would work accordingly.
