The bulk email validator accepts only .csv file types. Please make sure your file is csv format. When you upload a file, our system will scan it. The file will be rejected if something unusual is detected. The first few columns will appear after you select the file you want to upload. Our system will try to determine the column’s data type, as well. Any mistakes can be fixed before validation. If you can’t get the system to accept your file, please use the help button on the bottom right to contact us.
COLUMN MATCHING AND DATA APPEND
Column matching is important, because file with a first name column, our system will use that information to tell you the gender of that email. Apart from the gender, our system also has the ability to determine the location, account creation date, first and last name of some of the emails you upload. It will use the data you provide and fill in the gaps. We don’t store your emails or your data. Our Data Append feature uses public sources of information known to be 99% accurate. If the IP address is provided, we will append the city, region/state, zip code, and the country to the output.
DUPLICATE, UNI-CODED, AND MALFORMED EMAIL ADDRESSES
All duplicate, uni-coded, and malformed email addresses will be removed from the list. So, if you upload a list of 5,000 emails and you have 1,000 duplicates, only 4,000 will be processed. No, you will NOT be charged for submitting duplicate, uni-code, or malformed emails. Invalid email syntax is different from uni-coded and malformed emails. Once your file finishes processing, look to the right side and click the Expand Results arrow. This will expand and show if any of the mentioned conditions above were found.
LONG FILE NAMES
PIlotVerify will truncate all file names over 70 characters. We do this because Windows will only support 160 characters in a file path and with log filenames customers hit that limitation when extracting the files from the zip file. Please name your files accordingly, to not exceed the 70 character limitation.
