Zapier Email Checker & Email Verification

Why Integrate EmailVerify with Zapier?

While Zapier excels at connecting apps and automating workflows, it doesn't validate email data quality by default. If your automated workflows process invalid email addresses, you'll face serious challenges:

• ❌ Broken Workflows: Invalid emails cause errors in downstream apps (CRM, email marketing, helpdesk)
• ❌ Wasted Automation Credits: You're burning Zapier tasks on data that shouldn't enter your systems
• ❌ Poor Data Quality: Bad emails pollute your databases, CRMs, and marketing platforms
• ❌ Failed Notifications: Important alerts and confirmations never reach users
• ❌ Compliance Risks: Storing invalid contact data violates GDPR/privacy best practices

The Solution

EmailVerify + Zapier integration enables you to:

• ✅ Verify Emails Automatically: Add email verification as a step in any Zap workflow
• ✅ Filter Bad Data Early: Stop invalid emails before they reach your apps
• ✅ Smart Routing: Route verified vs. unverified emails to different destinations
• ✅ Enrich Data: Add verification metadata (risk level, email type, domain info) to your records
• ✅ Protect All Apps: Clean data flowing into CRMs, marketing platforms, databases, and more

How It Works

The EmailVerify + Zapier integration follows this workflow:

1. Trigger Event: Something happens in your connected app (new form submission, new CRM contact, new order, etc.)
2. Email Extraction: Zapier captures the email address from the trigger data
3. EmailVerify Verification: Our API validates the email in real-time (under 1 second)
   • Syntax check (RFC 5322 compliance)
   • DNS lookup (domain exists)
   • MX record verification (mail server exists)
   • SMTP handshake (mailbox exists)
   • Risk detection (disposable, catch-all, role-based)
4. Decision Logic: Zapier filters or routes based on verification result
   • ✅ Valid emails: Continue to next step (add to CRM, send welcome email, etc.)
   • ❌ Invalid emails: Stop workflow, send to error log, or notify admin
   • ⚠️ Risky emails: Flag for manual review or apply special handling
5. Downstream Actions: Verified data flows cleanly to your connected apps

Integration Methods

Method 1: Zapier Webhooks Action (Recommended)

Use Zapier's built-in Webhooks app to call the EmailVerify API directly from any Zap.

Prerequisites

• EmailVerify API key (get yours here)
• Zapier account (free or paid)
• A Zap workflow where you need to verify emails

Setup Steps

Step 1: Create or Edit Your Zap

1. Log in to Zapier
2. Create a new Zap or edit an existing one
3. Set up your trigger app (e.g., Google Forms, Typeform, Webhook, etc.)
4. Test the trigger to ensure it captures email data

Step 2: Add EmailVerify Verification Action

1. Click the "+" button to add a new action step
2. Search for "Webhooks by Zapier"
3. Choose "POST" as the action event
4. Click "Continue"

Step 3: Configure the Webhook Request

• URL: https://api.emailverify.ai/v1/verify

• Payload Type: Select "JSON"

• Data (JSON format):

  (Replace {{trigger_email_field}} with the actual email field from your trigger)

Step 4: Test the Verification

1. Click "Test action"
2. Zapier will send a test email to EmailVerify
3. Review the response data (status, risk_level, is_disposable, etc.)

Step 5: Add Filter or Path Logic

• Add a Filter step to only continue if email is valid:

  • Field: Webhooks by Zapier: Status
  • Condition: Exactly matches
  • Value: valid

• Or use Paths to route different email types:

  • Path A: Valid emails → Add to CRM
  • Path B: Invalid emails → Send to error spreadsheet
  • Path C: Risky emails → Flag for manual review

Step 6: Complete Your Workflow

1. Add subsequent actions for verified emails (add to CRM, send email, etc.)
2. Test the entire Zap end-to-end
3. Turn on the Zap

Method 2: Zapier Code Action (Advanced)

For more complex verification logic, use Zapier's Code by Zapier action with JavaScript or Python.

FAQ About Zapier Integration

How does EmailVerify integrate with Zapier?

EmailVerify integrates with Zapier via the Webhooks by Zapier app or Code by Zapier action. You call our email validation API from within your Zap workflows to verify emails in real-time. The verification result (status, risk level, email type, etc.) can then be used to filter, route, or enrich data in subsequent steps.

Do I need coding skills to set up the integration?

No coding required for basic verification using Webhooks by Zapier. Simply:

1. Add a Webhooks action to your Zap
2. Configure the API endpoint and headers
3. Pass the email field from your trigger
4. Use the response data in filters or subsequent actions

For advanced logic (custom scoring, complex rules), you can optionally use Code by Zapier (JavaScript or Python).

How fast is the verification?

EmailVerify's API responds in under 1 second on average (typically 300-800ms). This is fast enough that verification adds minimal latency to your Zap workflows. Zapier itself may add a few seconds of processing time, but the verification step itself is nearly instantaneous.

Will this use my Zapier task quota?

Yes, but efficiently. Each verification request counts as 1 Zapier task. However, by filtering out invalid emails early, EmailVerify can actually save you tasks by preventing bad data from triggering multiple downstream actions that would otherwise fail or process useless data.

Example: Without verification, an invalid email might:

• Fail to add to CRM (1 task wasted)
• Fail to send email (1 task wasted)
• Log error in sheet (1 task wasted)
• Total: 3 wasted tasks

With verification (1 task), you avoid the 3 wasted tasks = net savings of 2 tasks.

Can I verify existing contacts in my apps?

Yes! You can use Zapier's looping functionality to verify existing contacts:

1. Trigger: Schedule (e.g., weekly)
2. Action: Get rows from Google Sheets / Airtable / database
3. Action: Loop through each row
4. Action: Verify email with EmailVerify (inside loop)
5. Action: Update row with verification result

Or use our bulk email verification tool to process large lists faster (up to 100,000 emails/hour).

What email data does EmailVerify return?

The API returns comprehensive verification data:

• status: valid, invalid, unknown, risky
• 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 (generic business emails like info@, support@)
• domain: email domain
• mx_records: mail server information
• smtp_check: mailbox existence confirmation
• syntax_valid: RFC 5322 compliance
• verification_date: timestamp

You can use any of these fields in Zapier filters, paths, or to update records in your apps.

How accurate is the verification?

EmailVerify maintains 99.9% accuracy through multi-layered verification:

1. Syntax validation (RFC 5322 standard)
2. DNS lookup (domain exists and is active)
3. MX record verification (mail server configured)
4. SMTP handshake (mailbox exists and accepts mail)
5. Risk detection (catch-all, disposable, role accounts)
6. Proprietary algorithms (pattern recognition, domain reputation)

Our accuracy is verified through continuous testing against real-world email addresses.

• 🔒 GDPR Compliant: Emails are processed in real-time and not stored
• 🔒 SOC 2 Certified: Industry-standard security practices
• 🔒 API Key Security: Keys are encrypted and can be rotated anytime
• 🔒 No Data Sharing: We never share or sell your email data
• 🔒 Audit Logs: Full activity logs available for compliance

Your email data is only transmitted for verification and immediately discarded after the response.

Can I use EmailVerify with Zapier's Storage or Tables?

Yes! You can:

1. Store verification results in Zapier Storage for caching (avoid re-verifying same emails)
2. Use Zapier Tables to maintain a verification history database
3. Build a "verified emails only" list in Zapier Tables
4. Create a blacklist of invalid domains

Example Zap with caching:

1. New email arrives
2. Check if already verified (lookup in Zapier Storage)
3. If not in storage: verify with EmailVerify
4. Store result in Zapier Storage
5. Use cached result for future checks (saves API credits)

What happens if the API is down or returns an error?

Zapier has built-in error handling:

• Automatic retries: Zapier will retry failed API calls (configurable)
• Error notifications: Get alerts via email or Slack when errors occur
• Fallback actions: Configure what to do if verification fails (e.g., allow email anyway, send to manual review, log error)

EmailVerify maintains 99.9% uptime..

Can I verify emails from multiple Zap workflows with one API key?

Yes! One EmailVerify API key can be used across unlimited Zap workflows. Your verification credits are account-level, not per-Zap. This makes it easy to:

• Use the same API key in 10, 100, or 1000 different Zaps
• Track total usage in one dashboard
• Manage billing from one account
• Share the integration across your team
