The problem it solves

Bad or fake email addresses sneak into your CRM through forms and manual entry, and you usually don't find out until a campaign bounces. Cleaning up your contact list after the fact is tedious.

Who it fits

Marketing or sales teams who rely on clean contact data in HubSpot for outreach.

How it works

  1. A new contact is created in HubSpot
  2. The system checks whether the email address is valid
  3. If it isn't, a message is posted to Slack so someone can follow up
What you get

Invalid contact emails caught immediately

You get an instant Slack alert whenever a new HubSpot contact's email address looks invalid or unreachable.

What you get

A Slack alert flagging any new HubSpot contact with an invalid email address.

What you need

A HubSpot account, a Slack workspace, and a OneSimpleAPI 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.
