After the conclusion, you can check the status of the execution on this same screen. Check the logs on Last Run Time parameter:

After running the integration you will see one of the three icons next to the last execution time:

• A red x will mean the integration fails. Click in the execution time to check the logs and be able to identify what caused the failure;
• A yellow exclamation sign means the integration concluded but with a few warning messages. Check the logs to see what are the warnings messages, most of the time the warnings messages do not cause any failure to the integration;
• A green icon means the integration runs successfully;

Checking the Candidates used as a test, all the emails were updated:

Additional suggestion for the success of the task:

Please double check the CSV file with applications like Notepad++

and double check that there is no extra empty line at the end of the file.
