Validation Pop-up

On validate you will be presented with a popup with two options that can assist your validation process:

• Scoring - an optional service that helps identify catch-all addresses that are likely to be valid by detecting recent email activity.
• ZeroBounce Activity Data - uses interaction data to identify emails that have been opened, clicked, forwarded, or unsubscribed. The matching process is performed in-house through ZeroBounce's infrastructure, and your data is not transferred or shared with any third parties.

Step 10:

You will be taken to the Email Validation Results page which will show the list you selected in queue.

Once your list has completed processing you should receive an email notification and you will see that the Download button will appear.
Note: The results of the validation and scoring are automatically exported to the integration they originated from.

Status: Completed

Step 12:

When you export your contacts, you'll find the following tags included in the exported file:

• ZB_Status
• ZB_SubStatus
• ZB_Validation_Timestamp
• ZB_Score
• ZB_Scoring_Timestamp
• ZB_Last_Known_Activity

The following tags will be automatically created in your integration with the first automatically validation/scoring results export

These tags are essential for maintaining up-to-date and accurate contact information, allowing for better management and engagement with your contacts.

Auto-validation

With this feature, you’re able to validate any new contact added to your integration automatically. To do so, you must establish an integration with one of the compatible platforms. After doing this, select Integrations from the menu and select your integration. Once you’re there, go to the Real-Time Validation section, where you can toggle auto-validation ON.

With auto-validation enabled, ZeroBounce will automatically validate your new contacts once they are added to your integration, ensuring they are valid and deliverable.

NOTE:

There is also the possibility to share your contacts between integrations, schedule scoring and validation or monitor your contacts to validate any new contact automatically. To learn more about this, check out this dedicated page: Integrations Contacts Monitoring, Scheduling and Sharing. For more information about BigCommerce please visit www.bigcommerce.com
