The system pulls the domain out of each email address and flags whether the format is valid.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each email address in the list.

The problem it solves

Before you send a marketing campaign or import a contact list, you need to know which email addresses are actually usable. Checking each one by hand for typos or bad formatting wastes time and lets bad data slip through.

Who it fits

An email marketer or anyone cleaning up a contact list before a campaign or import.

How it works

  1. A list of email addresses is loaded into the system
  2. Each address is checked for correct syntax
  3. The domain is pulled out of each valid address
  4. You get a list showing each email, its domain, and whether it's valid
What you get

Clean contact lists ready for campaigns

You get a spreadsheet showing every email address alongside its domain and whether the format is valid, ready for your next campaign.

What you get

A cleaned list of emails with their domains and a valid or invalid flag for each one.

What you need

No paid account is required beyond wherever your contact list already lives.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
