Automatically verify new email addresses in Google Sheets

Checks every new email added to your spreadsheet against two verification services and logs whether it's deliverable.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues.

The problem it solves

Sending campaigns to a list full of bad or fake email addresses hurts your deliverability and wastes money on emails that bounce. Checking each address by hand before every send just isn't realistic for a growing list.

Who it fits

Businesses running email marketing or managing a growing contact list.

How it works

  1. A new email entered into your Google Sheet starts the process
  2. Blank rows are skipped automatically
  3. The email is checked against Hunter.io and EmailValidation.io
  4. The deliverability result is written back into the same spreadsheet row
What you get

Email addresses confirmed deliverable before you send

Every new email you add to your spreadsheet gets checked and marked as deliverable or not automatically.

What you get

A spreadsheet where every email address is automatically marked as valid or invalid.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Hunter.io account, and an EmailValidation.io account.

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.
