Issues with Instantly Email Verification and Lead Management Tips

Avatar of Nadine B.Nadine B.

Hey guys, anyone use Instantly? Their verification doesn't seem to work at all, so am using Clay to verify (uploaded all leads from Instantly to a new Clay table and ran a zerobounce email verification on it). Here's my question- anyone have any good ideas on how to easily detect and delete the email addresses in Instantly? Will I need to manually do it this time around and then just get smarter about verifying leads in Clay before loading them into Instantly going forward?

    To manage your email addresses more efficiently, we recommend verifying leads in Clay before loading them into Instantly. Here's how: 1. Use Clay's "Verify Email" action with Instantly integration to validate email addresses. 2. Run this verification on your Clay table before exporting to Instantly. 3. When pushing data to Instantly, use the "validated work email" column instead of a generic "email" column. This approach will help you avoid manual work in Instantly and ensure you're only loading verified email addresses.

    Hey there Nadine thanks for reaching out, in this case you would need to delete the value inside of Instantly every time as Clay is actually unable to delete the values in databases from our end.

    I think I'll need to manually clean up the Close leads then just use clean ones (done through my main table) going forward

    What a pain. Especially when I paid them for "email verification". Oh well. Onwards and upwards
