1. 00:00What you lose in the export

   Lusha rates each email on screen, but that rating doesn't reach your CSV. Here's how to check the file before you send. Inside Lusha, an email carries a confidence rating. A+ means highly likely to be delivered, and it's the one Lusha suggests for large campaigns. A means a good likelihood, for regular outreach where some risk is acceptable. Now look at the export guide. The confidence score is no longer included in CSV exports. You still see the rating in the platform. It just doesn't travel with the file. So what's in the file? Up to four email columns. Work email, direct email, and two additional emails. There's no rating next to any of them. A blank cell only means Lusha had no data there. It's not an export error. Two rules decide what else you get. Only revealed contacts are included. And a Workspace table exports the columns you can see. Hide one, and it's left out. So reveal first, and keep your email columns visible. There's a time gap too. When a contact changes, Lusha flags it with a purple Updated badge. Applying that change is up to you. Until then, your table keeps showing the old data. So a fresh export can still hold an old address.

2. 01:08Prepare the file

   Before you upload, deal with those columns. BillionVerify checks one email column per file. For only work emails, you're set. To check the others, stack them into one column, with each address on its own row.

3. 01:23Verify the file

   Open File List Verify, and add your file. The file card names the column it picked, and the unique emails it found. With several email columns, it takes the fullest one. Read that name before you click Verify. Then start the job. It keeps running in the background, and an email tells you when it's finished. The mix here comes from larger sample lists, not Lusha data. Every address now has a status.

4. 01:42Route the results

   Use that status the way Lusha uses A+. Valid goes to your bigger campaigns. Catch-all goes out smaller and separate, because that domain accepts any address. Role is a shared inbox. Unknown waits. Invalid and disposable come out.

5. 01:56Report it back

   Your invalid rows have one more use. Lusha takes correction reports by CSV. List the first name, last name, and the address that's wrong, and submit the file for review. Then import the clean list into your CRM or sending tool.

6. 02:10What it costs

   As for cost here, every result takes one credit, including catch-all and role. Nothing is charged for unknown, bad syntax or disposable. File uploads need a paid account, and any credit purchase unlocks them.
