The Scenario
You're a sales development rep and you've spent the last three weeks hand-researching 80 prospect emails — finding names, job titles, company domains, guessing formats. You've got them in a Google Sheet with columns for first name, last name, company, and email. Before you start your outreach sequence, you want to know which of these addresses will actually land and which ones will bounce, plus some metadata that helps you personalize the first line.
A colleague on another SDR team got their account suspended last quarter after a 6% bounce rate. That's stuck with you.
The bad version:
- Copy each email into EmailListVerify's single-check interface one at a time, copy the response fields (status, MX server, ESP, role-account flag) back into your sheet manually
- After 15 rows you start abbreviating, making notes in shorthand you'll misread in two weeks
- Lose your place twice because someone sends you a Slack message mid-paste, end up with statuses in the wrong rows
Eighty rows done manually is an hour you didn't budget. And the whole point of researching these contacts was to start outreach this week, not next.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the sheet row by row, calls EmailListVerify's detailed single-email verification endpoint for each address, and writes the response fields back into the right columns — without you touching a single row.
For each email in column C of my "Prospects" tab, call EmailListVerify's detailed single-email verification and write the status to column D, the MX server to column E, the ESP name to column F, and the role-account flag to column G
What You Get
- Column D: deliverability status (
valid,invalid,catch-all,unknown) - Column E: MX server hostname, so you can spot shared infrastructure or missing mail server setups
- Column F: email service provider name (Gmail, Outlook, custom), useful for personalizing tone
- Column G:
trueorfalsefor role accounts like info@, support@, hello@ — addresses that almost never reply
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some emails have known formatting issues from the research process
Clean every email in column C of the "Prospects" tab (trim spaces, lowercase, fix obvious dot-before-@ errors) before running EmailListVerify single verification, then write the cleaned email back to column C and the verification status to column D
You want gender estimate included for personalization
For each email in column C of the "Prospects" tab, run EmailListVerify's detailed verification and write status to column D, MX server to column E, ESP to column F, role-account flag to column G, and gender estimate to column H
You only want to verify rows where the company domain is not a free provider
For rows in the "Prospects" tab where the domain in column C is not gmail.com, yahoo.com, or outlook.com, run EmailListVerify's single verification and write status to column D and role-account flag to column E — skip all free-provider rows
Verify, score, and sort in one pass
Verify all emails in column C of the "Prospects" tab using EmailListVerify's detailed endpoint, write status to column D and role flag to column E, then add a "Priority" label in column F — "High" if status is valid and role is false, "Low" otherwise — and sort the tab by Priority descending
Ask for the enrichment and the scoring logic in one prompt — SheetXAI applies both before writing back.
