Best practices

  • Verify emails at point of capture for best data quality
  • Re-verify periodically (recommended every 3-6 months)
  • Treat “catchall” emails as valid but monitor for bounces
  • Remove “disposable” emails - they indicate low-quality leads
  • Use suggested corrections to fix typos automatically
  • Cache results to avoid redundant verification

Integration benefits

  • Improved deliverability: Only email verified addresses
  • Better sender reputation: Reduce bounce rates
  • Cost savings: Don’t pay to email invalid addresses
  • Higher engagement: Focus on real contacts
