Issues with Clay Waterfall & Email Providers: Run Condition Not Met Costing Extra Credits

Hey Team, noticed that when I use the Clay waterfall feature to find work emails...the other providers still run when the email has already been found and it should have a 'Run condition not met'. Costing extra credits

Here's what's likely going on: The waterfall gives you the option to add a validation provider to check results from each email finder. When the validation tool determines the email is invalid, the next email finder tries to find a new one, but if it finds the same email as the previous column it won't try to validate it again because it already tried to validate once before, and this could result in no final output because none were valid.We automatically hide validation columns helping keep tables clean and that's why it's not evident at first glance. Let me know if you still have any questions though!-> Example and explanation: https://www.loom.com/share/e79acd92841a4706b1710c4ce1bddaa4

We'll be having some updates soon to make it easier to just have the valid emails visible, but a few rows could likely run into the same issue until the data providers can assist with better searching options to prevent such duplicates.
