Question about Email Finders: Validated Work Email - Catch-All or Deliverable?

·
·

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the email finders: when it says validated work email in the column: do you only pass deliverable emails from the providers or also catch-alls? (as most lists contain ~30% catch-all) If you pass on catch-all (what I assume), where do you tell us if it’s catch-all or deliverable (and also if we use a Bouncer)?

    Hey Herman M. so when using a waterfall enrichment you can toggle the option to only write „Safe to send“ mails into the validated mails column. Then only mails that have been validated will be in that column. Else also not validated mails will be visible to you.

    Ok thanks Frederik H., but am I getting charged for the catch-all as well then (even if they are not shown)?

    Yes, you still found an E-Mail however it is not validated yet. You pay for that mail that is retrieved, but its optional to validate that email.

    Appreciate you jumping in, Frederik H., like always! Also, appreciate your inquiry, Herman! Yep, that option will ensure you get the validated emails in the end. In any case, if you want to know the status/type of email, I believe the validation provider should also return that if you expand one of the cells and find the data point. You can then extract it as a column if you'd like but again, only if you believe it's necessary.Example, here's a quick video on how to extract nested values from enrichments or imports- https://www.loom.com/share/32ae94f5fee34a82b9fa739b53741d00?sid=f67d4463-1cac-477b-a82a-f2e0fe072cb6
