Bulk Email Verification: A Step-by-Step Guide
Performing Email Verification
- Navigate to the smart lists area within your sub account.

4. Assign a name to your verification batch (e.g., “Test 1”) and proceed by clicking “Confirm”.
Understanding the Process

Reviewing Verification Results
After initiating the verification, you can monitor and review the results:
- Navigate to the “Bulk Actions” section to view your verification batches.
- Check the status, which could be “Complete”, “Pending”, or “In Progress”.
3. View detailed statistics, including the number of valid, invalid, and errored emails.
4. Access individual contact records directly from the verification results for further action.
Key Considerations and Troubleshooting
