Understanding Email Waterfall Results Across Multiple Providers

Quick question. i don't understand why most of the times in my email finding waterfall, it find the emails at multiple different providers. Look at the picture. Normally it says "run conditions not met", and that's perfect. But at the one at the bottom it just finds the same emails from multiple providers, do i get charged multiple times for the same email? How do i fix that? My clay table: https://app.clay.com/workspaces/261880/workbooks/wb_QgysyTPpGgjJ/tables/t_Xvzg53BnqvFv/views/gv_BsKzigxB2tuh

Hey Amir! Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help. Here's an explanation for this: 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 of the emails found 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! Here's an example and explanation video: https://www.loom.com/share/e79acd92841a4706b1710c4ce1bddaa4
