1. 00:00Two kinds of SalesQL email

   In SalesQL, a blue checkmark and a yellow icon carry very different risks. And you choose which ones leave at export. A blue checkmark means the email passed multiple validation checks. A yellow icon means it can't be confirmed, often because of an accept-all domain. It might work, but it's more likely to bounce. Some of those addresses have a simple origin. SalesQL studies the email patterns at a company. When it can't find a valid source for a person, the common pattern becomes its answer. Those still count. SalesQL charges credits when it finds at least one address, and it only skips the charge when none turns up.

2. 00:42Filter at export

   So make your first cut at export. Pick your folder, and click Export. The export settings have a box for unverifiable addresses. Uncheck it, and only addresses SalesQL considers valid come out. Paid plans can use the Custom template to choose fields as well. Then comes a step many people skip. SalesQL says most users go straight from export to campaign, and that's where bounces start creeping in. SalesQL offers its own Email Verifier for this, covering format, type, server status and email status. Bulk upload is on its paid plans. We'll run the same step in BillionVerify, where results arrive as new columns on your file.

3. 01:22Mind the refresh cycle

   Timing is the other half. Saved contacts refresh every 3 months, at no credit cost. But you can't push that earlier. So a recent job change may not reach your dashboard for 3 months. Your send date won't wait for that cycle. And a CSV sitting in your downloads never gets refreshed at all.

4. 01:41Run the final check

   Upload the export to File List Verify. Every upload gets a line in History, so you can see when each list was checked. Big lists carry on without you. Answers appear address by address, and an email arrives when the job ends.

5. 01:55Read the results

   Any yellow contacts you kept may land as catch-all. SalesQL explains why that matters. Some servers say the address is fine during the check, then bounce the message at delivery. So give catch-all its own small segment, and watch it. Valid joins your normal sequence. Role needs a message meant for a shared inbox. Unknown stays parked until someone looks. Invalid and disposable belong on suppression, even if they turn up again in a later search.

6. 02:24Import the list

   Your file comes back with its original columns, plus ours at the end. Import that version, and keep it as your record of the check. Our pricing is per result. One credit each, with catch-all and role counted. Unknown, bad syntax and disposable cost nothing. File uploads require a paid account, which any credit purchase unlocks.
