Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

Hey Ian, thanks for reaching out! That's a good one and happy to check it out if you have the link to the table...What comes to mind and the recurrent situation we see is that if you select a validation provider like Debounce or any of those options, those validation columns are automatically hidden but you can reveal them at any time like any other enrichment.

What happens is that if the first email provider finds an email, the validation tool may be saying it's not a valid email so it then let's the next provider run to try to find a new one but if that other provider has the same email then it won't try to validate it again unless it's different. If no other option is found, then the final results will be empty.Let me know if that sounds like it may be the case here and if you have additional questions!

BTW -- from a list of 2,900 it only found 1,500 (approx 50%) is that what you would expect?

Sorry about that Ian, I actually revealed them for you, and are next to your email finding columns, the Debounce columns.

Okay, just found some info from a previous thread: "Looks like the error is because the domains are either unreachable or don't have valid MX records.This is something Prospeo mentions in their docs https://prospeo.io/api/email-finder#::~~::text=The%20domain%20name%20you%20submitted%20is%20not%20reachable%20or%20does%20not%20have%20valid%20MX%20records "

The advantage of using the email waterfall with these providers is that it doesn't cost any credits if they don't find one, but unfortunately, the coverage could vary quite a bit. You can always add a new waterfall with other providers and give it a condition to only run for the empty/missing rows
