Verify emails before importing to Instantly
Instantly is a cold email sending platform. Platforms that send at volume punish a dirty list quickly. Verify first and import only the addresses you chose to send to.
Example
A sample file (fictional data)
| first_name | company | result | import | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ana@northwind.example.test | Ana | Northwind Studio | valid | yes |
| info@brightside.example.test | Brightside Digital | role | review | |
| raj@quill.example.test | Raj | Quill & Co | catchall | test batch |
| bob@gone.example.test | Bob | Gone Ltd | invalid | no |
Fictional rows. The import column is your decision per result; add it after you download results.
Import only what you decided to send
Sequences send from your own mailboxes, so every bounce counts against your domain. Import valid addresses; hold role for a deliberate choice; put catchall into a small test sequence; retry unknown later; never import invalid or disposable.
Keep the file you imported
Download results with the original columns, filter on result, and import that file. Keep the verification date so you know when to re-check before a follow-up campaign.
