Example Usage

Basic Validation

Validate a small list of email addresses:

{
  "addressList": [
    "contact@company.com",
    "info@example.com",
    "john.doe@gmail.com"
  ]
}

Large Batch Processing

Validate a large list of email addresses:

{
  "addressList": [
    "user1@example.com",
    "user2@example.com",
    "user3@example.com",
    "user4@example.com",
    "user5@example.com",
    "user6@example.com",
    "user7@example.com",
    "user8@example.com"
  ]
}

Real-World Example

Clean an email list before a marketing campaign:

{
  "addressList": [
    "hi@company.com",
    "help@example.com",
    "tijteachingartist@gmail.com",
    "help@test.com",
    "invalid-email",
    "user@nonexistent-domain-12345.com"
  ]
}

This will help you identify which emails are valid and which should be removed from your campaign list.

Understanding Validation Results

The actor performs multiple validation checks:

1. Format Validation: Verifies the email address follows the correct format (e.g., user@domain.com)
2. Domain Check: Validates that the domain exists and is properly configured
3. MX Record Verification: Checks if the domain has valid mail exchange records
4. SMTP Validation: Attempts to verify if the email address can actually receive messages

Based on these checks, each email receives a deliverability status and detailed validation result to help you make informed decisions about your email lists.
