BillionVerify + Make Integration - Advanced Email Verification Automation

Who Uses Make:

• Marketing automation specialists who need complex lead routing
• SaaS companies building customer onboarding workflows
• E-commerce businesses with sophisticated order validation
• Data teams automating ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes
• Developers who want visual automation without coding
• Agencies managing complex client workflows

However, even the most sophisticated automation workflows depend on data quality. Invalid email addresses can cause cascading failures in complex scenarios—which is why integrating our email verification service with Make ensures your workflows operate on clean, validated data from the start.

Why Integrate BillionVerify with Make?

Make's power lies in its ability to orchestrate complex workflows—but those workflows are only as reliable as the data flowing through them. Email verification is a critical component that affects multiple downstream processes:

Without email verification, you'll encounter serious problems:

• ❌ Workflow Failures: Invalid emails cause bounces, breaking automated email sequences and customer journeys
• ❌ Data Quality Issues: Bad data propagates through multiple systems, corrupting your entire data ecosystem
• ❌ Wasted Operations: Make charges by operation—invalid emails waste operations and inflate costs
• ❌ Complex Debugging: Tracking down failures caused by invalid emails in multi-step workflows is time-consuming
• ❌ Poor ROI: Downstream marketing automation, CRM updates, and email campaigns all suffer from unverified data

The Solution

BillionVerify + Make integration enables you to:

• ✅ Verify Before Routing: Validate emails at the entry point before data flows to expensive downstream systems
• ✅ Conditional Logic: Route valid, invalid, and risky emails to different processing paths automatically
• ✅ Batch Verification: Process large datasets efficiently with Make's iterator and aggregator modules
• ✅ Real-time Validation: Verify emails instantly in webhook-triggered scenarios for real-time applications
• ✅ Error Prevention: Catch invalid emails early to prevent cascading failures in complex workflows
• ✅ Cost Optimization: Avoid wasting operations on invalid contacts across all your Make scenarios

How It Works

The integration follows this workflow architecture in Make:

1. Data Entry: Email enters your Make scenario (via webhook, API, form submission, or schedule)
2. BillionVerify Module: Make sends the email to BillionVerify API for verification
3. Comprehensive Validation: Our API performs multi-layered checks:
   • Syntax validation (RFC 5322 compliance)
   • DNS lookup (domain exists and is configured)
   • MX record verification (mail server exists)
   • SMTP handshake (mailbox exists and accepts mail)
   • Advanced risk detection (disposable, catch-all, role-based, fraud patterns)
4. Data Enrichment: BillionVerify returns detailed verification results with risk scores
5. Intelligent Routing: Make's router module splits execution based on verification results:
   • ✅ Valid emails (low risk): Route to CRM, email marketing, or main workflow
   • ❌ Invalid emails: Route to rejection path, logging, or suppression list
   • ⚠️ Risky emails: Route to manual review queue, alternate verification, or scoring system
6. Downstream Processing: Each path continues with appropriate actions (update CRM, send welcome email, flag for review, etc.)

This architecture ensures clean data flows through your entire automation ecosystem.

Integration Methods

Method 1: Make Native HTTP Module (Recommended)

Use Make's built-in HTTP module to connect directly to the BillionVerify API with full control and flexibility.

Prerequisites

• BillionVerify API key (get yours here)
• Make account (Free or paid plan)
• Basic understanding of Make scenarios and modules

Architecture Overview

Setup Steps

Step 1: Create a New Scenario

1. Log in to Make (make.com)
2. Click "Create a new scenario"
3. Add your trigger module (e.g., Webhook, Google Sheets, Airtable, etc.)

Step 2: Add BillionVerify HTTP Module

1. Click the "+" button to add a new module
2. Search for "HTTP" and select "HTTP > Make a request"
3. Configure the HTTP module:
   • URL: https://api.billionverify.com/v1/verify
   • Method: POST
   • Headers:
     • Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BILLIONVERIFY_API_KEY
     • Content-Type: application/json
   • Body Type: Raw
   • Request content:

     {
       "email": "{{trigger.email}}"
     }
     

   • Parse response: Yes (Enable this to access response data)

Step 3: Add Router for Conditional Logic

1. Add a "Router" module after the HTTP module

2. Create three routes with filters:

   Route 1: Valid Emails

   • Filter condition: {{BillionVerify.status}} equals valid AND {{BillionVerify.risk_level}} equals low
   • Actions: Add to CRM, send welcome email, etc.

   Route 2: Invalid Emails

   • Filter condition: {{BillionVerify.status}} equals invalid
   • Actions: Add to suppression list, log to spreadsheet, send alert

   Route 3: Risky Emails

   • Filter condition: {{BillionVerify.risk_level}} equals medium OR high
   • Actions: Add to manual review queue, send to verification team

Step 4: Map Response Data

BillionVerify returns detailed information you can use in downstream modules:

Map these fields to your CRM, database, or other systems.

Step 5: Test and Activate

1. Click "Run once" to test with sample data
2. Verify the routing logic works correctly
3. Check that valid, invalid, and risky emails flow to the right paths
4. Activate the scenario to run automatically

Method 2: Bulk Verification with Iterator

For scenarios involving lists of emails (CSV uploads, database exports, CRM bulk updates), use Make's Iterator module for batch processing.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Add Data Source

• Add a trigger that provides an array of emails (Google Sheets, Airtable, CSV Parser, etc.)

Step 2: Add Iterator Module

1. Add "Tools > Iterator" module
2. Map the array of emails from your data source
3. The iterator will process each email individually

Step 3: Add BillionVerify HTTP Module

1. Inside the iterator loop, add "HTTP > Make a request"
2. Configure the same way as Method 1, but use {{iterator.email}} as the email value

Step 4: Add Aggregator (Optional)

1. After verification, add "Tools > Array aggregator" to collect all results
2. Group verified emails by status (valid/invalid/risky)
3. Output to a spreadsheet, database, or CRM

Step 5: Rate Limiting (Important)

To avoid overwhelming the API, add a small delay:

1. Add "Tools > Sleep" module after HTTP request
2. Set delay to 0.1 seconds (100ms) to stay within API rate limits

Method 3: Webhook-Triggered Real-Time Verification

For real-time validation (form submissions, signup flows, lead capture), use Make's webhook trigger.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Create Webhook Trigger

1. Add "Webhooks > Custom webhook" as trigger
2. Copy the webhook URL provided by Make

Step 2: Configure Your Form/Application

Point your form submission or application to send data to the Make webhook URL:

Step 3: Add BillionVerify Verification

1. Add HTTP module to verify the email from webhook data
2. Use router to handle results immediately

Step 4: Return Response to Form

1. Add "Webhooks > Webhook response" module
2. Return validation result to your form:
   • Valid: { "success": true, "message": "Email verified" }
   • Invalid: { "success": false, "message": "Invalid email address" }

Is there a native Make app for BillionVerify?

Currently, BillionVerify integrates via Make's HTTP module, which provides maximum flexibility and control. We're working on a native Make app that will simplify setup even further. The HTTP module integration is production-ready and used by thousands of Make users.

How fast is the verification in Make scenarios?

BillionVerify's API responds in less than 1 second on average (typically 300-800ms). Make's HTTP module adds minimal overhead (~50-100ms), so total verification time is typically under 1 second. For webhook-triggered scenarios, users experience near-instant validation. For batch processing, you can verify 100+ emails per minute.

Can I verify emails in bulk with Make?

Yes! Use Make's Iterator module to process arrays of emails. You can:

1. Import data from Google Sheets, Airtable, CSV files, databases, CRMs
2. Iterate through each email using the Iterator module
3. Verify each email with BillionVerify HTTP module
4. Aggregate results using the Array aggregator
5. Export cleaned data back to your source or a new destination

Pro tip: Add a 100ms sleep between requests to avoid rate limiting.

What data does BillionVerify return in Make?

BillionVerify returns detailed verification data that you can map to any Make module:

• status: valid, invalid, unknown
• risk_level: low, medium, high
• is_disposable: true/false (temporary email services)
• is_catch_all: true/false (accept-all domains)
• is_role_account: true/false (info@, support@, etc.)
• mx_records: array of mail server records
• smtp_response: server response code and message
