How to verify emails on Instantly

Updated today

With quality and verified leads, you will reduce the bounce rate and protect the deliverability of your email account.

Instantly offers you an easy-to-use option for email verification. You can purchase one of the following verification options from your Billing section:

  1. Monthly subscription: will be renewed monthly.

  2. One time top-ups: won't be renewed.

Notes:

  • You will need to have an active email outreach subscription before you purchase verification credits.

  • Your purchased credits for email verification never expire.


Using Instantly to verify leads

There are two ways you can verify leads. Leads should be added for verification BEFORE the campaign is launched:

  • Bulk verify.

    When uploading the CSV lead file, check "Verify leads" before clicking "Upload all". The verification process will start soon after.

  • Individual verification.

    This method is used when you've already uploaded the leads. Select the leads that you want to verify from the Leads tab, and click on the "Verify leads" button in the top right corner.


Leads Verification Status

Leads that are being verified will have the status "In verification queue" when you check your leads.

When verification finishes for all leads, you can launch your campaign.

Note: Invalid and Risky leads will not be contacted by default.

However, you can enable this feature to contact Risky emails:

  1. Navigate to Campaign --> Options section.

  2. Scroll down and check the Enable risky emails.


Remove Invalid/Risky emails

To free up some space to upload new leads, you can create a filter to remove Invalid/Risky emails after the verification. Here are the steps:

  1. Navigate to the Leads section of the campaign

  2. Use Filter --> All statuses

  3. Select Risky or Invalid status

  4. Select all leads in this filter, remove or download Risky or Invalid leads
