Why Automate Email Verification?

Save Time

Automate repetitive email verification tasks across your tools and workflows.

Reduce Errors

Eliminate manual data entry and email validation mistakes.

Improve Data Quality

Maintain clean, verified email addresses across your business tools.

Scale Easily

Automatically process hundreds or thousands of emails without manual intervention.

Stay Organized

Route verified and invalid emails to appropriate workflows and team members.

Common Automation Scenarios

1. Lead Verification Workflow

Auto-verify leads from multiple sources:

New form submission
  ↓
Verify email with EmailVerify
  ↓
If valid → Add to CRM
  ↓
If invalid → Add to separate list for follow-up

Platforms: Zapier, Make Time saved: 10+ minutes per 100 leads

2. Email List Cleaning

Periodically verify large email lists:

Monthly trigger
  ↓
Export list from email platform
  ↓
Bulk verify with EmailVerify
  ↓
Re-import clean list
  ↓
Archive invalid addresses

Platforms: Zapier (scheduled), custom scripts Time saved: 2-4 hours per cleaning

3. Real-Time Lead Scoring

Score leads based on email validity:

New lead created
  ↓
Verify email
  ↓
Check email provider, disposable status
  ↓
Add verification score to lead
  ↓
Route based on score (hot/warm/cold)

Platforms: Zapier (with HubSpot/Salesforce) Impact: Better lead prioritization

4. Customer Onboarding

Verify emails during customer signup:

Customer registration
  ↓
Verify email immediately
  ↓
Send welcome email to verified address
  ↓
Flag risky emails for manual review
  ↓
Send verification reminder for unknown addresses

Platforms: Zapier, Make Benefits: Higher email deliverability

5. User List Maintenance

Keep your user database clean:

Weekly trigger
  ↓
Find users with emails not verified
  ↓
Verify all pending emails
  ↓
Update user records with results
  ↓
Flag invalid emails for admin review

Platforms: Zapier, Make, custom scripts Benefits: Better data quality, fewer bounces

Best Practices for Automation

1. Set Reasonable Triggers

Good:

• Scheduled: Weekly, monthly
• On form submission
• On new contact created
• On list import

Avoid:

• Every email field change (too many API calls)
• Every 5 minutes (unnecessary overhead)
• Redundant verification (same email multiple times)

2. Implement Caching

Store verification results to avoid redundant checks:

On verification
  ↓
Check if email verified in last 30 days
  ↓
If found → Use cached result
  ↓
If not found → Verify and cache result

Savings: 50-70% fewer API calls

3. Handle Different Statuses

Route emails based on verification result:

Email verification result
  ↓
If VALID → Continue normal workflow
  ↓
If INVALID → Create task for review
  ↓
If UNKNOWN → Send verification reminder
  ↓
If DISPOSABLE → Add to risky list

4. Monitor Usage

Track automation runs to monitor costs:

Track metrics
  ├─ Emails verified per day/week
  ├─ % verified vs. skipped (cached)
  ├─ % valid vs. invalid vs. unknown
  └─ Cost per verified email

5. Error Handling

Handle API failures gracefully:

Try to verify email
  ↓
If fails → Retry once after 5 minutes
  ↓
If still fails → Skip verification, proceed anyway
  ↓
Log error for manual review

Platform Comparison

Getting Started

1. Choose Your Platform

Select an automation tool based on:

• Which apps you need to connect
• Workflow complexity
• Budget
• Support requirements

2. Create Your Account

Sign up for free trial to test integration.

3. Build Your Workflow

• Identify trigger (what starts the automation)
• Add EmailVerify verification step
• Add conditional routing (based on result)
• Configure actions (what happens next)
• Test with sample data

4. Go Live

• Monitor first 100 runs
• Check results in connected apps
• Adjust triggers/actions as needed
• Enable error notifications

5. Optimize

• Monitor API usage and costs
• Identify opportunities for caching
• Refine conditional logic
• Add additional verification checks

Cost Optimization

Reduce API Calls

Strategy: Cache verified emails

First verification: Call API
Next 30 days: Use cached result
After 30 days: Verify again

Result: 70% fewer API calls

Batch Processing

Strategy: Group emails into daily batches

Collect emails throughout day
  ↓
Verify all at once (cheaper rates)
  ↓
Distribute results to workflows

Result: 20-30% cost savings

Smart Filtering

Strategy: Pre-filter obviously invalid emails

Check basic format first
  ↓
If obviously bad → Skip API call
  ↓
If valid format → Verify with API

Result: 10-15% cost savings

Troubleshooting

Integration Not Running

Check:

• Trigger is enabled
• API credentials are correct
• Workflow is active
• Check automation platform's logs

Wrong Data Being Verified

Check:

• Correct email field mapped
• Data format is correct
• No special characters interfering
• Test with manual email

Results Not Updating

Check:

• Field mapping is correct in destination app
• Required fields are being set
• No rate limiting in destination
• Check error logs for details
