Common Automation Scenarios

1. Lead Verification Workflow

Auto-verify leads from multiple sources:

New form submission
  ↓
Verify email with BillionVerify
  ↓
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 BillionVerify
  ↓
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

3. Build Your Workflow

• Identify trigger (what starts the automation)
• Add BillionVerify 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
