Email Verification

Know an address is real before you send, not after it bounces.

Email Verification validates every address in your ActiveCampaign account before you send, without relying on a broadcast. Invalid, disposable, catch-all, typos, and full inboxes, caught before they turn into bounces. You protect your domain reputation, clean your base, and stop burning sends on addresses that don't exist. Per contact, with full SMTP verification, without building a single automation.

Step by step

How we verify every address

We run the verification end to end, before you send, without relying on a broadcast. Every address goes through a sequence of checks until we're sure it's safe to send. All inside your ActiveCampaign account.

  1. 1

    Syntax validation

    We check the address against the standards (RFC): format, valid characters, and a well-formed domain. Malformed addresses are caught right away.

    joao@exemplo.com
    maria@localhost
    joy@exemplo.
  2. 2

    Domain and MX record

    We confirm the domain exists and has an active mail server. Without a valid MX record there's no way to deliver, so the address is flagged on the spot.

    bill@exemplo.com
    joy@exemplo.com
    sui@exemplo.cim
  3. 3

    Email provider

    We identify the provider behind the domain (Gmail, Outlook, Zoho and others) to apply the right verification for each type of server.

    ana@gmail.com
    luis@outlook.com
    contato@zoho.com
  4. 4

    Account type

    We separate individual addresses from role accounts, like contact@, sales@, and support@, which tend to have different engagement and behavior.

    joao@empresa.com
    contato@empresa.com
    vendas@empresa.com
  5. 5

    Disposable and temporary

    We flag emails from disposable or temporary services, like Guerrilla Mail, that inflate your base without ever becoming real customers.

    user@guerrillamail.com
    temp@10minutemail.com
    real@empresa.com
  6. 6

    Catch-all and accept-all

    We detect catch-all domains, which accept any address and mask the invalid ones, so you know where the server's answer can't be trusted.

    qualquer@catch-all.com
    outro@catch-all.com
    real@empresa.com
  7. 7

    Full mailbox

    We flag full inboxes, which reject messages temporarily and turn into soft bounces, so you don't keep hitting an address that isn't receiving.

    cheia@empresa.com
    ok@empresa.com
  8. 8

    Disabled account

    We mark disabled or suspended addresses, which once existed but no longer receive, before they turn into a hard bounce on your next send.

    antigo@empresa.com
    ativo@empresa.com
  9. 9

    Mailbox existence (SMTP)

    We connect to the server and confirm the mailbox actually exists and accepts messages, with full SMTP verification, without sending a single real email.

    contato@empresa.com
    naoexiste@empresa.com
    kim@empresa.com
  10. 10

    Correction suggestion

    When it's an obvious typo, like gmial.com instead of gmail.com, we suggest the fix so you recover the contact instead of just discarding it.

    joao@gmial.comjoao@gmail.com
    ana@hotnail.comana@hotmail.com

How it works

The architecture behind the intelligence

Official API connection

Secure connection with a scoped key. Access is limited to activity data and custom fields, with no extra permissions.

External processing

We run the validation and calculations outside your account. Your account doesn't slow down or use extra resources, since everything happens on our servers.

ActiveCampaign-native fields

Fields built into the AC standard. Use them freely in your automations, segmentation filters, send conditions, and custom reports.

Distinct update cycles

Every address is re-verified in priority cycles, so your base stays clean. Fully automatic, without you touching a thing.

Segments as a native resource

The 6 verification segments integrate into your native list automatically. You get the end result without configuring anything.

Security

What Email Intelligence does NOT do in your account

Doesn't create automations

Doesn't change existing workflows

Doesn't add or remove tags

Doesn't send emails

Doesn't delete contacts

Doesn't modify send settings

Same account, smarter.
