Email Validator Actor Validate email addresses instantly with professional-grade validation powered by API. ## Input Parameters | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | emails | Array | Yes | List of email addresses to validate (one per line) | | delayBetweenRequests | Integer | No | Delay between requests in milliseconds (default: 1000ms) | ### Example Input: json { "emails": [ "john.doe@example.com", "jane.smith@company.com", "info@business.org" ], "delayBetweenRequests": 1000 } ## Output Format json { "email": "john.doe@example.com", "valid": true, "status": "VALID", "score": 98, "reason": "Valid email format and deliverable domain", "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z" } ## Usage Example You can integrate this Actor into your own product by adding just a few lines of code: javascript const run = await client.actor('username/email-validator').call({ "emails": [ "john.doe@example.com", "jane.smith@company.com", "info@business.org" ], "delayBetweenRequests": 1000 }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ## Features - Bulk Validation: Validate multiple email addresses in one run - Sequential Processing: Validates emails one by one to respect API limits - Configurable Delays: Control the delay between validation requests - Detailed Results: Comprehensive validation with reason codes for each email - Format Checking: Validates email syntax and structure - Domain Verification: Checks if the domain exists and accepts mail - Deliverability Check: Verifies if the email can receive messages - Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with detailed status reporting - Real-time Progress: Live updates on processing status - Statistics Summary: Final report of valid, invalid, and error counts ## Configuration Options - Delay Between Requests: Time to wait between each validation call (100-10000ms, default: 1000ms) - Batch Size: Process multiple emails sequentially in one run - VALID: Email is valid and deliverable - INVALID: Email has issues (format, domain, or deliverability) - ERROR: Validation failed (includes error details) ## Validation Checks The actor performs multiple validation checks: 1. Syntax Validation: Checks email format against RFC standards 2. Domain Validation: Verifies the domain exists 3. MX Record Check: Confirms the domain can receive emails 4. Disposable Email Detection: Identifies temporary email addresses 5. Role Account Detection: Flags generic addresses (info@, admin@, etc.) ## Technical Details ### Processing Flow 1. Actor receives array of email addresses 2. Each email is validated one by one with a separate API call 3. Configurable delay between each request to respect rate limits 4. Results are saved individually as they're processed 5. Final statistics summary at the end ### Limitations - Sequential processing (one email at a time) - Processing time depends on number of emails and delay settings - Timeout set to 5 minutes per run - Recommended batch size: up to 100 emails per run ### Error Handling The Actor handles various error cases: - Invalid email format - Missing required fields - API connection errors - Network timeouts - Webhook failures ### API Integration This actor integrates via webhook: - Endpoint: https://eliasse-n8n.onrender.com/webhook/7cedef2b-7921-476c-a1d9-b62adaf12522 - Method: POST - Content-Type: application/json - Timeout: 30 seconds per request ## Output Fields Each validated email produces a separate output record: - email: The validated email address - valid: Boolean indicating if email is valid - status: Status code (VALID, INVALID, ERROR) - score: Validation confidence score (0-100) - reason: Detailed explanation of the validation result - timestamp: When the validation was performed ## Use Cases - Lead Validation: Clean your lead lists before outreach - Form Validation: Verify emails during user registration - Database Cleaning: Remove invalid emails from your database - Email Marketing: Ensure high deliverability rates - CRM Integration: Validate contacts before adding to your CRM ## Support For any issues or questions: - Create an issue in the actor repository - Contact support ## License This Actor is provided as-is.
