Evidence email verification with BillionVerify
Evidence is an open-source business intelligence and data reporting framework that lets teams build and publish data-driven reports using SQL and Markdown. When Evidence-powered reports or alerts are distributed by email, BillionVerify ensures recipient addresses are valid so your data insights reach the right stakeholders every time.
Why verify before the send
Scheduled data reports and threshold alerts are only valuable if they land in an inbox. If a stakeholder's email address is outdated, mistyped, or routed to a shared role inbox that no longer exists, your Evidence reports vanish without a trace. BillionVerify validates recipient addresses before they enter your reporting distribution list, keeping data-driven communication reliable.
Ready-to-use n8n workflow
Import this workflow into n8n — it verifies every address with BillionVerify before Evidence sends, so only deliverable contacts are emailed. Install the BillionVerify community node first, then add your API key. Adapted from this n8n template

How it works
- 1
Integrate BillionVerify via the REST API, n8n community node, or Integrately into the workflow that manages Evidence report subscribers.
- 2

- 3
BillionVerify returns a verdict covering deliverability, address type, and risk indicators such as disposable or catch-all status.
- 4
Accept valid addresses into the distribution list; flag or reject invalid ones with a notification to the subscriber or admin.
- 5
Schedule recurring bulk verification runs to clean lists as team members and stakeholder contacts change over time.
When to use this
Validate Report Subscriber Emails
When users subscribe to scheduled Evidence reports or dashboards via email, verify their address with BillionVerify at sign-up. Remove invalid or disposable addresses before they accumulate in your distribution list.
Maintain Clean Analytics Alert Recipients
Data threshold alerts sent to stale or invalid addresses are wasted. Periodically verify your alert recipient list through BillionVerify to ensure every triggered alert reaches an active, deliverable inbox.
FAQ
How does BillionVerify connect to Evidence workflows?
Evidence itself focuses on report rendering. Connect BillionVerify to the upstream system managing subscriptions—via n8n, Integrately, or a direct REST API call—to verify emails before they are added to any distribution list.
What types of email addresses should I block from report distribution lists?
At minimum, block hard-invalid and disposable addresses. Role-based addresses like data@ or reports@ are worth reviewing manually, as they may be intentional shared inboxes or may no longer be monitored.
Can I verify a large existing list of report recipients in one go?
Yes. BillionVerify supports bulk verification via its API. Upload your current recipient list, retrieve deliverability results for each address, and remove or update invalid entries before your next scheduled report run.
