CiviCRM email verification with ValidReach
Open-source nonprofit and advocacy CRM with built-in CiviMail bulk emailing. Connect CiviCRM to ValidReach via REST API webhooks, workflow automation (n8n, Make, Zapier), or CSV/XLSX batch exports to verify email addresses before sending or syncing.

- 4
Exclude invalid and disposable contacts from outbound sequences while routing catch-all records for review.
When to use ValidReach with CiviCRM
Three common patterns teams deploy to stop hard bounces and protect domain reputation.
Real-time CiviCRM lead capture hygiene
Check every inbound lead before it is assigned to a rep in CiviCRM, filtering out mistyped domains and disposable mailboxes at the point of entry.
Pre-sequence contact verification
Re-verify CiviCRM contacts whose last check is older than 60 days before enrolling them into automated sales or lifecycle sequences.
Bulk CRM import scrubbing
Clean event, webinar, and partner CSVs with original-column preservation (include_original=true) before importing into CiviCRM.
Mapping ValidReach fields into CiviCRM
Call POST /api/v1/verify/single from your webhook or workflow runner and route contacts based on the returned status.

CiviCRM email verification questions
- Does ValidReach require a native plugin inside CiviCRM?
- No. ValidReach connects to CiviCRM through standard HTTPS webhooks, our REST API (POST /api/v1/verify/single and /api/v1/verify/file), or automation runners such as n8n, Make, and Zapier—so you can inspect and control every field mapped into CiviCRM.
- How should I handle catch-all or unknown results in CiviCRM?
- Route confirmed valid addresses directly into active CiviCRM flows, suppress invalid and disposable addresses immediately, and tag catchall or unknown records for low-volume sending or a later retry. ValidReach never charges credits for unknown results.
- Can I verify an existing CiviCRM export without losing custom columns?
- Yes. Upload your CiviCRM CSV or .xlsx export to /dashboard/lists or POST /api/v1/verify/file, then download results with include_original=true to keep every original CiviCRM column alongside the verification status and reason code.
- What is the fastest way to automate CiviCRM verification?
- Download the workflow definition JSON on this page or connect CiviCRM's webhook trigger to POST https://validreach.dev/api/v1/verify/single via n8n, Make, or Zapier.
