Validation Pop-up
On validate you will be presented with a popup with two options that can assist your validation process:- Scoring - an optional service that helps identify catch-all addresses that are likely to be valid by detecting recent email activity.
- ZeroBounce Activity Data - uses interaction data to identify emails that have been opened, clicked, forwarded, or unsubscribed. The matching process is performed in-house through ZeroBounce's infrastructure, and your data is not transferred or shared with any third parties.
- Step 6When you export your contacts, you'll find the following tags included in the exported file:
• ZB_Status
• ZB_SubStatus
• ZB_Validation_Timestamp
• ZB_Score
• ZB_Scoring_Timestamp
• ZB_Last_Known_Activity
These tags are essential for maintaining up-to-date and accurate contact information, allowing for better management and engagement with your contacts.Essential tags for maintaining up-to-date and accurate contact information

Auto-validation and auto-scoring
With this feature, you’re able to validate and score any new contact added to your list automatically." To do so, you must establish an integration with one of the compatible platforms. After doing this, select Integrations from the menu and select your integration. Once you’re there, go to the Real-Time Validation section, where you can toggle both auto-validation and auto-scoring ON.
With auto-validation enabled, ZeroBounce will validate your new contacts automatically once added to your integration, ensuring they are valid and deliverable. With auto-scoring enabled, each new contact will also receive a quality score automatically, providing insight into their potential engagement and overall contact quality.
NOTE:
There is also the possibility to share your contacts between integrations, schedule scoring and validation or monitor your contacts to validate any new contact automatically. To learn more about this, check out this dedicated page: Integrations Contacts Monitoring, Scheduling and Sharing.
