ActiveCampaign email verification

What it does

The Easy Email Verification app for ActiveCampaign verifies a contact's email address inside an automation and saves the result in custom fields of the contact: result (valid, invalid or unknown), reason, safe to send, and risk signals. Optionally it corrects typos automatically (for example johndoe@yaho.com → johndoe@yahoo.com). Each verification uses one credit; a corrected typo uses two.

Video: What it does

Step 1: get an API key

  1. You need an Easy Email Verification account. If you don't have one, create it at https://dashboard.easyemailverification.com/register?utm_source=activecampaign_guide (the free plan includes 50 verifications a day).
  2. In the dashboard, open Integration → API Settings and click Create API Key. Give it a name you will recognize, for example activecampaign.
  3. Copy the key. Treat it like a password: never share it or paste it into emails, chats or public pages.

Each ActiveCampaign account needs its own Easy Email Verification API key.

Step 2: create the custom fields in ActiveCampaign

  1. In ActiveCampaign, open Lists → Manage Fields.
  2. Click Add Field and create each field below, all of type Text Input:
Field nameType
ResultText Input
ReasonText Input
DisposableText Input
Accept AllText Input
RoleText Input
FreeText Input
UserText Input
DomainText Input
MX RecordText Input
MX DomainText Input
Safe To SendText Input
Did You MeanText Input

The fields then appear on each contact's detail page.

Step 3: connect the Easy Email Verification app

  1. In ActiveCampaign, open the Apps section.
  2. On the All Apps page, search for EasyEmailVerification and open it.
  3. Click Add an account and enter the API key from Step 1.
  4. Choose the resource Verification Result and click Continue.
  5. Map the verified email address to the ActiveCampaign email field, and map every result field to the custom field with the same name from Step 2.
  6. Click Finish. The connection now appears for that API key.

Step 4: create the automation

Create an automation once (for example, triggered when a contact subscribes to a list) with the Easy Email Verification action. From then on every contact that goes through it is verified automatically and the fields are filled in.

To test, add a contact with an address you know and check that the fields are filled in on the contact.

Optional: correct typos automatically

When the result has a "Did you mean" suggestion (johndoe@yaho.com → johndoe@yahoo.com), Easy Email Verification can update the contact's email in ActiveCampaign and verify the corrected address. If the corrected address already exists, the contact is tagged easy-email-verification-duplicated instead.

  1. In ActiveCampaign, open Settings → Developer → API Access and copy the API URL and the API Key (this is the ActiveCampaign key, not the Easy Email Verification one).
  2. In the Easy Email Verification dashboard, open Integration → ActiveCampaign Integration.
  3. Name: exactly the name of the Easy Email Verification API key used in Step 3 (for example activecampaign). Then enter the ActiveCampaign URL and Key and save.

A corrected typo uses two credits (the original verification and the corrected one).

Reading the results

If something isn't working

  1. The fields stay empty: check the mapping in Step 3 (each result field mapped to the matching custom field).
  2. "Webhook is not registered" or the app cannot connect: remove the account in the ActiveCampaign app and add it again with the API key.
  3. "Running out of your credit limit": plans at https://www.easyemailverification.com/en-US/pricing
  4. Typo correction does nothing: the Name in ActiveCampaign Integration must match the API key name exactly, and the ActiveCampaign URL and key must be correct.
