B2B CRM & Sales Pipeline

Verify and clean Salesforce leads automatically

Transform Salesforce into a self-cleaning lead engine. Verify every email across leads and contacts via Zapier to instantly update scores, trigger nurtures, and ensure 100% deliverability for your Salesforce pipeline.

How it works

Use this zap

EmailVerify integrates seamlessly with Salesforce through Zapier, allowing B2B marketing teams to turn prospect validation into a fully automated and trackable workflow. Instead of manually cleaning lists or dealing with hard bounces that damage your sender reputation, you can automatically verify every new prospect, form submission, or list addition directly within Salesforce. This no-code automation ensures your marketing qualified leads (MQLs) are powered by verified, reachable data from the moment they enter your funnel.

When a prospect's email is verified as valid, invalid, or risky, Zapier can instantly update Salesforce custom fields, add prospects to specific segments, or trigger automation rules. You can set up workflows to prevent invalid leads from progressing in your pipeline or notify account executives about premium verified prospects. This integration eliminates fake signups, improves your lead scoring accuracy, and ensures your revenue team focuses on real B2B opportunities—all without writing a single line of code.

Salesforce Leads vs. Contacts — Verify Both

In Salesforce, Leads and Contacts are distinct objects. Verify Leads before conversion to Contact to prevent invalid data from entering your qualified pipeline.
For existing Contacts, re-verify on a quarterly schedule to catch decayed addresses.

How to Set Up the Salesforce + EmailVerify.io Zap

1 Set the Trigger: In Zapier, select Salesforce as the trigger with event 'New Lead' or 'New Contact'. Connect your Salesforce account and test the trigger.
2 Add the EmailVerify.io Action: Select 'Verify Email' and map the email field from the Salesforce record. Connect your EmailVerify.io account at app.emailverify.io.
3 Update the Salesforce Record: Add a Salesforce action — 'Update Record'. Map the record ID and set a custom field 'EV_Status__c' to the verification result and 'EV_Date__c' to the current timestamp.
4 Optional Filter: Add a filter to route only valid records to the next pipeline stage or assignment rule. Activate the Zap — every new Salesforce Lead or Contact is verified automatically.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify Salesforce Leads with EmailVerify.io via Zapier?

In Zapier, set Salesforce as the trigger with event 'New Lead'. Connect your Salesforce account. Add EmailVerify.io as the action, select 'Verify Email', and map the Email field. Connect your account using your API key from app.emailverify.io. Add a Salesforce 'Update Record' action to write the EV_Status result to a custom field.

How do I write EV_Status to a Salesforce custom field via Zapier?

Create a custom field on the Lead object in Salesforce named 'EV_Status__c'. In your Zap, add a Salesforce action — 'Update Record'. Map the Lead ID from the trigger and set the EV_Status__c field to the output from EmailVerify.io.

Should I verify Salesforce Leads or Contacts — or both?

Verify Leads immediately upon creation. Verify Contacts quarterly to catch addresses that have decayed. Leads with invalid emails should not be converted to Contacts to keep your pipeline data clean.

Can I trigger a Salesforce Flow when EV_Status = invalid?

Yes. You can build a Salesforce Flow triggered by a field change. When the EV_Status__c custom field is set to 'invalid', the Flow can automatically reassign the record or change the Lead Status.

How do I create a Salesforce report of invalid email addresses?

Create a Leads report in Salesforce and add a filter where 'EV_Status__c equals invalid'. This gives you a list of all undeliverable leads that need to be removed or suppressed.

What is the difference between verifying Leads vs Contacts in Salesforce?

Leads are unqualified prospects; verify them at entry to block junk. Contacts are existing relationships; re-verify them periodically to protect your long-term sender reputation.

Can I use Zapier to verify Salesforce records at point of entry?

Yes. The 'New Lead' trigger fires in near-real-time for web-to-lead forms and manual entries, allowing you to catch invalid data before your team starts outreach.

Does this affect Salesforce API call limits?

Yes. Each Zapier update uses one API call. For most Professional or Enterprise orgs, the additional calls are negligible relative to your daily allowance.

What Salesforce plan do I need for Zapier integration?

Zapier requires Salesforce API access, which is available in Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited editions. It is typically not available on Salesforce Essentials.

Is there a faster Salesforce verification method than Zapier?

For bulk cleaning of existing lists, use our direct CSV export tool. For instant form validation, use the app.emailverify.io/api/v1/validate endpoint via our real-time API.

You're just one click away from clean email lists.
