Waterfall enrichment issue: Columns running despite already providing emails

·

Hi, I am just trying to understand something in my table. I am doing a waterfall enrichment but columns are running even if the column before it has already provided an email. Why is this? and the emails have a green tick on it and say valid but they don't show up in the last validated email column, why is that?

Hi Jessica, thanks for getting in touch! 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
