Hello, very much interested in "Data Validation and Integrity Solutions: Art, Alex, and Rebecca discussed methods for validating email addresses and phone numbers in RENXT, including the use of Power Automate, SQL, and Power BI for data integrity reporting and automation." The recording stuck around the 30 minutes mark so this portion is not available nor is it in the transcript. Any chance someone can share the details of this portion of meeting? Thanks!
