Email Enrich: Placing Emails and Checking Multiple Sources - Bug or Misunderstanding?

·

Hi, I am new to Clay and just getting familiarized. I tried to run email enrich but I noticed that it only placed the email (when found) for some of them, despite finding matches. It also seemed to check multiple sources after finding a match. It sort of looks like a bug but perhaps I don't understand something or did something wrong, would appreciate any feedback.

I see now... 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
