Waterfall Enrichment: Collecting Duplicate Emails and Prioritizing the Wrong Email

·

Hey, I'm a bit confused how the waterfall enrichment has worked.

1.
It seems to have collected emails when the first step already collected the email
2.
It also is prioritising the 5th email collected instead of the 1st and giving me info@ vs good personal work emails

Here's an explanation and video about what's going on here, mainly related to the validation step between each found email: 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
