How it works
You can quickly verify single email addresses, or you can use bulk verification for multiple email addresses. Here is the step by step guide for buk email verification.
1. Prepare yur email list
Let's say you have an email list, similar to the one beolow, stored as an Excel sheet. You can have arbitrary number of columns, but each column should have a unique header, like phone or name.
name | phone | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Joe Doe | [email protected] | +1 234 567 890 | |||||
Jane Gravatar | [email protected] | +1 111 222 333 | |||||
Just Nobody | [email protected] | nothing | |||||
… |
Export the sheet to CSV. You can do it directly within Excel, Calc, Google sheets, etc.
2. Upload the email list
Upload the CSV file using the web uploader.
3. Download the verified email list
When your email list is ready, you will receive an email notification. A download link will appear next to the email list.
Your email list will be enhanced by several columns, denoting a deliverability likelyhood, similar to the simplified example below.
[ columns ] | __gravatar | __deliverability | __reachable | __disposable | __catch_all | __status | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
… | [email protected] | 99 | YES | NO | NO | ||
… | [email protected] | open | 60 | UNKNOWN | NO | NO | |
… | [email protected] | 0 | NO | NO | NO | mail server is unavailable | |

What will you get
Enhanced Email List
A format of your email list will not change. Your email list will be only enhanced by more information regarding the email deliverability.
Reachability
Make your own decisions based on a deliverability score. Choose a deliverability threshold you are able to tolerate. If you do not want to risk any bounces, than send emails only to reachable recipients.
Gravatar Link
You will get a Gravatar link for each email that has it. This information might serve you as an addition to the deliverability score in your decision to send email.
Disposable Email Detection
Do not send emails to empty echo chambers, even if they can get delivered nobody will ever read them. New disposable emails are periodically discovered.
Status Message
If an email reachability is unknown, you will get the status message from their mailserver. E.g. the recipient has full inbox, thus a message is very unlikely to get delivered. The deliverabilty score will reflect this and be low.
