after running find work email waterfall on people table, one email could not be validated by all the providers who found it, in each case where an email was found, the zerobounce validation says 'run condition not met' - why is this?
When running an email waterfall, the process continues even after finding an email because each found email needs to pass validation. If an email is found by a data provider but fails the validation check, the waterfall moves on to the next provider. The "run condition not met" message appears because the standard waterfall logic is built to trigger an email provider only when: 1. No email has been found yet, or 2. The previously found email was invalid This process continues until either a valid email is found or all providers have been exhausted. By default, Clay uses ZeroBounce for validation to ensure you're working with high-quality data. The validation process helps determine whether found emails are actually valid and usable.
the run condition not met message is received only in the validation column for each data provider that finds the email. all 4 data providers that found an email found the same exact email, which does not validate. how do I add another validation provider besides zero bounce? can it be added as a waterfall of validation providers?
Hey Eugene! When a waterfall runs, we can't control what each provider returns, but we do prevent re-validating emails that were already checked. If the first provider found an email that was marked invalid, we won't validate that same email again when other providers find it - that's why you're seeing "run condition not met" for the same email across multiple providers. To add another provider (see gif) but we can't add more than 1 in the waterfall, we'd need to add it as a standalone enrichment.
Let me know if you need help setting up a specific validation provider!
