1. 00:00What SignalHire's labels mean

   One SignalHire credit returns every contact it has for a profile, work and personal. Here's how to sort those emails before you send. In SignalHire's API docs, every email carries two labels. Sub type says work, personal, or nothing at all. Rating is a number. And one profile can return several emails. The rating has two values. 100 is high confidence. 70 is likely valid. So a 70 is a good lead on an address. It isn't an answer from a mail server. Decide what you want before you verify. Our file check reads one email column, so give every address its own row, and keep the sub type beside it. Then you can verify work and personal apart.

2. 00:42When SignalHire checks

   SignalHire does check before it shows you anything. Its site says third party tools verify contacts on the way to your screen. That's the day you looked. Your send comes later. If your list comes through the API, look at the lookup mode. The default waterfall queries outside sources. Turn on without waterfall, and you only get internal data. SignalHire is upfront about that trade. That mode is faster, and the data may not be as current.

3. 01:06Export and verify

   In the app, save people to a Lead List or a Project, then export to CSV. You can export up to 1,000 profiles at a time, so a bigger campaign can mean several files. Bring each file into File List Verify. Start it, and leave it running. There's an email waiting when it's finished. These numbers are from bigger sample lists, not SignalHire data. They show you the mix, status by status.

4. 01:28Handle catch-all

   SignalHire says it flags catch-all servers for caution, and our results treat them the same way. Catch-all is a status of its own, because the mail server can't confirm that one mailbox. Then route them. Valid moves into your CRM. Catch-all gets a slower, separate send. If a shared inbox shows up as role, write for a team. Unknown stays parked. Invalid and disposable are out. Now use that sub type column. A person with a valid work row and a valid personal row is still one person. Pick one row, so nobody hears from you twice.

5. 01:59What it costs

   On credits, each result takes one, and that includes catch-all and role. You won't pay for unknown, bad syntax or disposable. You do need a paid account for file uploads, and any purchase of credits counts.
