I was trying to find some work emails using the waterfall method to see if they check out, but I’m not getting information if they are validated - how can I check that?

    So we have a number of email validators that can be used during the an email waterfall to validate the emails, such as Zero Bounce, Debounce and Hunter, they can be added or removed from the process. You can see whether or not they are added to your waterfall by checking for an hidden columns. After checking your table they are in fact active and run after every provider returns a results.

    Yes, I added my debounce api. But I’m confused, if Apollo found an email, why is it not being validated?

    Sorry for the delay, it seems as though your table is turned off and isn't running columns when they are updated. If you run the "Validate Enrich Person" Column after Apollo you should start getting validated results.
