Verify emails in bulk or one at a time

Table of content

Email verifier checks whether email addresses exist before you send to them. Bulk verify takes a file or a pasted list; Single verify checks one address.

Before you begin

  • Any member of the workspace can verify emails.
  • Cost: verifications are paid from your workspace wallet, a balance in US dollars shared by your team. They do not use email credits. Every plan payment adds plan credit to the wallet, and a workspace admin can top it up. See Your wallet: plan credit, top-ups and auto top-up.
  • Files: CSV, TXT, TSV or Excel, up to 1,000,000 emails and 150 MB. Pasted lists: up to 50,000 entries.

Steps: verify in bulk

  1. Open Email verifier and click New bulk.

  2. Choose Upload file and drop your file, or Paste emails and paste one address per line, then click Continue.

  3. If your file has more than one column with emails, pick the one to check on Choose the email column and click Continue.

  4. Wait while we analyse the list. On Review and verify you see Total rows, To verify, Duplicates and Invalid syntax. Duplicates are checked once, and badly formed addresses are never sent; neither is charged.

  5. Check the cost the app shows and click Verify N emails. The amount is charged from your wallet when the job starts.

What you get

Bulk: each job is a row with the number and share of Valid, Invalid, Accept-all and Unknown results, and a Status. When it shows Completed, use the download action to get All emails, Valid emails or Invalid emails. Each file is your file with Email status, Email provider, Email domain, Email domain status and Free email columns added. Email domain status is accept_all when the domain accepts every address. Files are kept for 30 days, then the row shows Files expired.

To see the results without downloading, click a completed job, or open its row menu and click View results:

  • Every address from your file is listed once, with its Status, Domain status, Provider and Free email. Addresses with invalid syntax are listed as Invalid.
  • Click All, Valid, Invalid, Accept-all or Unknown to show one kind, or type an email or a domain in Search by email or domain.
  • Click an address to see its details. If it belongs to someone in our database, their card appears with See more info.

The results stay viewable as long as the files, 30 days. Jobs with more than 50,000 rows can only be downloaded.

Single: the verdict, plus the email Provider, Domain and whether it is a Free email. If the address belongs to someone in our database, their card appears with See more info; otherwise you may see the company with a button to see its employees.
