The problem it solves

Bad email addresses on your contact list quietly hurt your deliverability and waste time on leads that were never real to begin with. Checking each one by hand doesn't scale once your list grows past a handful of rows.

Who it fits

Sales, marketing, and CRM teams who maintain contact lists and want them clean before a campaign or outreach push.

How it works

  1. Checks your spreadsheet every hour for new email entries
  2. It skips any row that's already been verified
  3. Each new email is sent to a verification service
  4. The spreadsheet is updated with valid, invalid, or unknown status
What you get

Contact lists you can trust before sending

You get every new email address in your spreadsheet checked hourly and marked valid, invalid, or unknown automatically.

What you get

An up-to-date spreadsheet showing the verification status of every email on your list.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a Rapid Email Verifier API key.

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.
