Can I verify my recipient's email addresses before contacting them?

Updated over a week ago

Yes, depending on how you add your recipients, you have several options for verifying your leads before reaching out.

💡 It’s highly recommended that you verify your recipients' email addresses before launching a cold email campaign, as email statuses can change quickly. Verifying your leads helps reduce bounce rates and protects your email reputation.


Verify your recipients by importing them from a CSV file

When you import your recipients directly from a CSV file, you can automatically verify them as they are being added to the campaign. By checking the Verify the email addresses box.


Verify your recipients once they're added to the email campaign

Once you have added your leads to your email campaign's Audience, you can verify the email addresses just before launching your campaign.

Hunter will tell you the percentage of unverified emails in your Audience list and allow you to Test all unverified email addresses or verify single emails by clicking on Verify email.


Verify your leads in the Leads section before adding them to a campaign

You can add your recipients to your email campaign Audience from a People's list you already have and verify them beforehand.

  1. Once verified, you can filter them by Verification status and Add them to a campaign.

  2. You can also add leads from the Audience section of your email campaign by using the From Leads option and filtering the list by Verification status.

💡Emails verified as invalid will not be added to a campaign or sent, no matter what verification method you choose.
