Hey Clay team — trying to figure out why debounce keeps failing for a table. I’m using Clay’s email permutations enrichment to guess emails and Debounce’s validator to check the list

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 😉

So proud I got that link in before the bot asked

Hey, thanks for reaching out! I'll take a look

Thanks! FWIW I’ve tried it as an array and csv and both sort of resulted in the same problem. Queued --> Retrying --> Retried but Failed

ohh, I see now. It was given a list instead of a single email, these validations tools can only do one at a time

Does this mean it can handle many?

hahha sorry, missed that and saw it just updated too! Maybe it was timing out, let me try the next row
Brennan M.
·

Ok, looks like it works now
Clay Team

Yep, it's working again so maybe just a hiccup. Let me know if you still run into issues though!
Brennan M.

must have been just a temporary thing

So funny story, broken again

Maybe it can’t handle the “run all columns”

Or is there like a rate limit of how many emails I can test per second?

It may be a rate limit since each call has several inputs given the list. Keethu R., would that be a reasonable assessment for such cases? Thanks

I figured this was sort of the intended use case of the two enrichments. I’m trying to condense some of my waterfalls that reuse the same validate email step 5 times
Keethu R.

Yep, it's a rate limit issue - thanks for flagging! I'll put up a fix here to handle this!
Brennan M.

Thanks Keethu R. I’ll leave things as is for now and test a bit more later
Brennan M.

Incase it’s related, I’ve been able to sort of slowly click through each cell to validate rows one-by-one. In one case I get a timeout error every time. Not sure if the batch api’s to debounce have different timeouts
Brennan M.

Getting “retried by failed”, or “timed out” about 40% of the time with these cells
Keethu R.
·
·
The fix isn't live yet - am aiming to have it out later today!
Brennan M.
·
·
Oh - ok, great! Must have become less of an issue as I’ve stopped fiddling with it… Appreciate your pacing for bug fixes 💙
Keethu R.

Actually just deployed - thanks again for flagging this!
Brennan M.

Still getting the timeouts, which I imagine is the service just taking too long? It’s very hit or miss

You're probably going to have to add the column again for the changes I deployed to be in effect, but ultimately could just be long response times from Debounce but you should see a significant reduction in the amount of retries

Any other way to swap over to your changes? These columns are referenced in like 10 places and I’m bound to screw up the formulas
