FAQs

What does the Deliverable percentage in the Risk Assessment tab mean?

The Deliverable percentage indicates the proportion of email addresses verified and found valid and reachable in a given job. This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of deliverable email addresses by the total number of email addresses in the job, then multiplying the result by 100.

How is the Undeliverable percentage calculated in the Risk Assessment tab?

The Undeliverable percentage represents the proportion of email addresses in a specific job verified and found invalid or unreachable. This percentage is determined by dividing the number of undeliverable email addresses by the total number of email addresses in the job, then multiplying the result by 100.

What does the Unknown percentage in the Risk Assessment tab signify?

The Unknown percentage shows the proportion of email addresses in a particular job that could not be definitively verified. This means that their deliverability status is unclear. It is calculated by dividing the number of emails with unknown status by the total number of emails in the job, then multiplying the result by 100.

What is the "Import Name" in the Risk Assessment tab?

The "Import Name" is a unique identifier for each job or batch of email addresses you submit for verification. It allows you to track and manage each job separately.

Why might the date and time in the "Created at" column be important?

The date and time information in the "Created at" column helps you understand when each email verification job was initiated. This can be particularly useful for tracking progress over time or determining the order in which jobs were processed.

Why isn’t every email verified?

Not all email addresses can be verified for various reasons, such as server restrictions, privacy settings, or network issues. These email addresses are categorized as 'Unknown'.

What happens if the email server doesn't respond in time?

If the email server doesn't respond in a timely manner, the verification system may categorize the email address as 'Unknown.' The system could not determine whether the email address is deliverable or undeliverable.

What do I do if I see many 'Unknown' email addresses in my list?

Many 'Unknown' results might suggest server issues or other technical problems. You may want to consider re-running the verification process at a later time. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Support. The formatting of the email address could be an issue, or the CSV format might have some problems.

What should be the next step after getting the Risk Assessment report?

After receiving the Risk Assessment report, you should consider removing or re-checking the 'Undeliverable' and 'Unknown' email addresses from your list before executing any email campaign. This can help improve your campaign's deliverability rate and overall effectiveness.

What does "No. of Emails" mean in the Risk Assessment tab?

The "No. of Emails" represents the total count of email addresses included in a particular batch or job for verification. This gives you an idea of the scale of the email verification job.

Why do different jobs/batches have different Deliverable, Undeliverable, and Unknown percentages?

Different jobs or batches may have varying percentages of Deliverable, Undeliverable, and Unknown emails due to the quality of the email addresses in each batch. For instance, a batch containing older or outdated email addresses may have a higher Undeliverable percentage than a batch with recently collected addresses.

What can I do to improve the deliverability percentage?

To improve deliverability, you can collect the email addresses through reliable sources, update your email lists regularly, and use double opt-in methods to ensure the email addresses belong to people genuinely interested in receiving your communication.

Why are some emails categorized as Deliverable, but they still bounce?

Deliverable emails can still bounce due to the recipient's mailbox being full, the mail server being temporarily unavailable, or the email being marked as Spam by the recipient's email service.

Can I re-run the email verification for a specific batch?

Yes, you can re-run the email verification for a specific batch. This could be particularly helpful in case a significant percentage of emails were marked as Unknown, which might be due to temporary server issues.

How often should I verify my email lists?

The frequency of email list verification can depend on various factors like list growth, bounce rates, etc. However, it's a good practice to verify your email list before any significant email campaign.

How does the email verification process impact my overall email marketing strategy?

Email verification is crucial for maintaining a healthy email marketing strategy. It helps you remove invalid or undeliverable emails, thus improving the deliverability rate, protecting your sender's reputation, and increasing the effectiveness of your email campaigns.
