The problem it solves

Your contact list fills up with typos and fake addresses that quietly wreck your email deliverability. You only find out an address was bad after a campaign bounces or a follow-up never gets read.

Who it fits

Businesses running marketing or sales outreach through a CRM who need clean contact data.

How it works

  1. A new contact is added to your CRM
  2. The system checks whether the email address is real and valid
  3. If the address looks bad, a message is sent to Slack
  4. Your team can follow up before it causes a problem
What you get

Bad email addresses flagged right away

You get an instant Slack alert whenever a new contact's email address looks invalid, before it affects your outreach.

What you get

A Slack alert flagging any new contact whose email address looks invalid.

What you need

A Mautic account, an email validation service, and a Slack workspace.

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.
