You can use Insycle to identify malformed or suspicious email addresses based on the text and letters used, however, Insycle does not provide email validation services.

Here are some email validation service providers:

Summary

Insycle does not provide email and phone validation services.

However, you can use Insycle to identify common problems and identify clearly errant in your CRM database—including malformed or suspicious email addresses and phone numbers, based on the data contained within the field.

Identify Free Emails With Typos

With Insycle, you can easily identify contacts that use free email addresses that have typos in them. Without being fixed, these emails would bounce and harm your email senders' reputation over time.

To do this, you use the Grid Edit module and navigate to the "Typos in Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo Email Addresses" template.

With that template selected, you'll see this filter:

typos in free emails

 

This filter tells Insycle to seek out contacts that have an email domain that is similar to Gmail.com, Hotmail.com, and Yahoo.com — without being exact matches for those terms.

This allows you to catch typos in email addresses such as:

  • Gmil.com
  • Yaho.com
  • Hotmial.com
  • And other similar mistakes

In the Record Viewer below the Filter, you'll see a list of records that were identified using this filter.

Here, if you hover over the email address (or any other field listed here) a pencil icon will appear. If you click the pencil icon, a box will pop up allowing you to in-line edit the data directly in the Insycle Grid Edit module.

This is a quick and simple way to identify a portion of the problematic emails in your CRM and quickly edit them to reduce bounces.

Identify Invalid Phone Numbers

Insycle offers numerous pre-built templates for identifying invalid phone numbers using the Bulk Operations module.

To use them, you simply navigate to the Bulk Operations module and select the template. Then you can export the records in question or even outright delete them if they are of no use.

You can set these exports to run one-time immediately or on a set schedule.

Step 1: Choose Your Template

Navigate to the Bulk Operations Module. Select a template for your phone number validation.

Insycle offers numerous templates that can help you to surface records with phone number issues, including:

  • Invalid phone number, less than 8 digits and more than 15
  • Invalid phone number, repeating digits 5+ times
  • Phone number with letters (not extensions)
  • Phone number with more than 10 digits

Load the template that meets your needs. Click the Search button. In the Record Viewer below, the records that meet the specifications of the filter can be viewed.

Then, click the Next button.

You'll be taken to the notification screen. Here, you can choose who will receive your export and also provide additional context about the export in the messaging area.
