Only email leads that pass AI validation and quality scoring

New leads are automatically checked for valid, high-quality emails before Gmail sends anything.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Every list of new leads has some bad email addresses mixed in, and sending to them hurts your sender reputation and wastes your outreach. Manually checking and scoring each contact before you email them just isn't realistic at any volume.

Who it fits

Sales and marketing teams who email leads from a growing spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. A new or updated row appears in your Google Sheet of leads
  2. The email address is checked to confirm it's valid and deliverable
  3. Valid emails get an AI quality score from zero to ten
  4. Only high-scoring leads receive an email through Gmail
  5. The sheet updates with the result so nobody gets emailed twice
What you get

Only clean, quality leads get emailed

You make sure only leads with a valid, high-quality email address ever receive an email from your team.

What you get

A cleaned, scored lead list in Google Sheets, with emails sent only to your best contacts.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a ZeroBounce account, and a Gmail 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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
